The other day, I stumbled across one of those creepy national security posters – coincidentally, it was at a bus stop outside the Maribyrnong Detention Centre, thus uniting two of the abiding images of the Howard years in one horrid flashback. I can’t find a decent size reproduction of the image but you’ll probably know it: lines of dialogue from neighbourhood finks reporting their acquaintances to the terror hotline, all shaped into a map of Australia. ‘It’s not normal for him to have visitors at this hour’ — that kind of thing. Anyway, someone in Britain had a similar reaction to the same sort of campaign there, and has created a website that allows you to recaption the poster appropriately. Hence the image above.
