26/09/2005  Politicians grappling with anti-terror legislation
Reporter: Michael Brissenden  MAXINE MCKEW: Well, from
Guantanamo Bay to Canberra, terror and detention have emerged as
the political themes of this week. The legal team for Australian
detainee David Hicks has discovered he might qualify for British
citizenship, which could win him his freedom. Meanwhile,
political leaders here at home are grappling with the legal
complexities of proposed laws that could see terror suspects
detained for up to 14 days. Tomorrow, the premiers meet with the
Prime Minister in Canberra for a special summit to discuss the
Federal Government's new anti-terrorism legislation. Most State
leaders seem inclined to agree that tougher laws are needed but
they're looking for a more detailed explanation of the checks
and balances. Political editor, Michael Brissenden reports.
