Japanese government rushing through terror bill

Tuesday 18th November, 2008
The Japanese government is deciding whether to extend parliament's current session, in an effort to renew an anti-terrorism bill.
The current parliamentary session is set to expire November 30th.
The main opposition Democratic Party, which controls parliament's upper house, boycotted a vote on a bill which would renew Japan's anti-terrorism refueling mission in the Indian Ocean, which expires in January.
Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso's government would also like to see another bill, which would strengthen the banking sector, passed.
The opposition has confirmed it will not agree to vote on the measures until the government introduces a supplementary budget to finance an economic stimulus package.
