![]() Alert! Terrorism suppression legislation 10 May 2002 It is expected that the Terrorism (Bombings and Financing) (Suppression) Bill will have its second reading in parliament some time in the next few weeks. Now would be a good time to contact your local MP, the mass media, and write to Cabinet expressing your disapproval of this extraordinarily unnecessary and repressive legislation. Contact details are at the end of this message. If you require more information about the Bill, check out the articles, alerts and written submissions listed on the index page at http://www.converge.org.nz/pma/terrosub.htm ‘Update! Terrorism Suppression Bill’ includes the Green Party minority report, which the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee would not allow to be included in their report to parliament on the legislation. As our computers will be off-line for repairs over the next three weeks, we will not be able to send you additional information by email during this time. There will however, be new updates on the Arena website as the Bill comes up for its second reading, you will be able to access these at http://www.arena.org.nz
Additionally, it would be useful if you could send copies of your letter/s to Keith Locke, Green Party Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, tel 470 6709, fax 472 6003; and a copy of your correspondence and of any replies to PMA for our files.
