What has happened to the idea of a fair go?

Australia is becoming an increasingly unpleasant country due to Howard's authoritarian and callous leadership. The proposed anti-terror laws will bastardise our civil liberties. The IR reforms will enshrine the greed, individuality and selfishness that is fast becoming a hallmark of the Australian community under the auspices of the Howard government. Whatever happened to decency and the concept of fairness that used to characterise Australia and Australians? Is it lost forever?
