With APEC just around the corner, 21 world leaders including US President George Bush and Russia's President Vladimir Putin will be in Australia under the tightest security since the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Has hosting the event made Australia a bigger target and more vulnerable to a terrorist attack? Have the anti-terror laws made us safer and more able to prevent a terrorist attack here or have they had little impact? Australia introduced its first anti-terror laws in March 2002, and many amendments have been added since, including earlier this month, giving police and security agencies even greater powers. But have these laws actually made us safer from attack? Are they being used to good effect or open to abuse of our civil liberties?
