Oz police to screen placards, banners and T-shirtsfor Pope's
arrival.
I think if SG to do so,western medias will put the headlines in
this way:
Singapore police
restrict freedom of expressions for Pope's
protestors
There is no absolute freedom.Or u have to pay a price for
freedom---your definition of freedom,even in Oz.
Lets SG police and SG NGO see how Oz police define freedom
and democracy.
I think it is right for Oz police to screen the itmes.
What do u think,Oz -would- be-PR and later Oz citizens?

POLICE have told organisations planning to campaign during World
Youth Day events they need to have placards, banners and T-shirts
pre-approved or risk losing their protest "rights" - even those
groups representing victims of sexual abuse by Catholic
priests.
The State Government faced a public backlash yesterday after the
Herald revealed laws had been quietly introduced to
prevent people "causing annoyance" to participants in the huge
Catholic event which will climax with the Pope's arrival in Sydney
in two weeks.
During a meeting with two leading victims groups yesterday,
senior police said protesters would also have to include details of
their planned messages.
