Of course I'm not talking about the American Department of Homeland Security. The US has no such luck. No the good news is from Canberra Australia, where our PM took a long hard look at the US model, and said "No way".
ABC news reports:
In the statement, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd confirmed plans for a Department of Homeland Security have been scrapped.
He has created a new position of National Security Adviser and announced the Government would develop a white paper on counter-terrorism.
A Progressive Party, doing progressive things. Kevin Rudd you made me a believer again.
