"There is no reason to accuse other people of being off-topic because of having an alternative perspective."

So, true.

Re terrorists - I am concerned that despite all the publicity and bluster about the raids, new terror laws to be introduced etc,that a terrorist attack could still occur simply because the terrorists could outsmart the Aust Govt & AFP.

Why so much publicity about tracking terrorists via social media (tipping off any terrorists)?

New G20 laws allow police to conduct identity checks and strip searches and include a ban on items such as eggs, metal cans, kites and face paint, the flyers warn.

This follows charges against one Cairns woman who wrote in chalk on a sidewalk and another who put an anti-G20 sticker on a parking meter that said: “G20 benefits the 1%”.

Charges?

How is she a threat to national security?

Until the AFP arrest and charge some people high up in the terrorist groups... Nothing much has been achieved.

One awkward spotty face youth charged , 800 police involved........

Oh please. Are you for real? They were stickers not machine guns or bombs.

Do you check under your bed at night?

Reading the papers and seeing how much violence there is in this country on a regular basis is worrying. Maybe we need to be looking at that as well.

I did not accuse you of being off topic I simply stated a fact.

In barely 24 hours, about 870 police officers were mobilised and raids were planned on more than 27 homes in two states with the aim of detaining and questioning 17 men. Tony Abbott was briefed on Wednesday evening.

In the pre-dawn light yesterday they swooped. With helicopters hovering overhead, dozens of police raided homes across Sydney and Brisbane.Operation Appleby had broken open the single largest cell of Islamic State sympathisers in Australia and had almost certainly thwarted a terrorist attack.

So, with helicopters hovering overhead 870 police officers (presumably in riot gear and with guns drawn, forced their way into the homes of 27 sleeping families, detained 17 men eventually charged just one and probably seriously alienated hundreds.

don't forget the press were also invited to come along and watch all this She-ele

I think now that the whole thing was just an expensive scam

the one person who was charged, do we actually know what he was charged with yet??

Goulburn Jail: Allah is the cry in the worst riot for ten years

PRISON officers in riot gear have used tear gas to control maximum security inmates who tore apart Goulburn Jail in a racially fuelled riot described as the biggest in 10 years.

With shouts of “Allah Akbar”, prisoners armed with homemade weapons threatened guards and smashed through an internal fence at the state’s toughest jail, which was in lockdown yesterday.

Police investigations are continuing today.

Tensions have been running high in the prison system as federal and NSW police step up their surveillance of suspected terrorists and any of their associates inside and outside prisons after the country’s terror alert was raised to high.

A source has revealed how the violence began in the maximum wing of the Goulburn facility about 3pm on Saturday when a number of ringleaders refused to line up for afternoon muster.

The source said the unrest had begun as a result of some privileges being requested — and denied — for a handful of inmates, but the situation quickly turned into a full-scale riot along religious lines.

They’d been knocked back something ...,” the source said. “The issue wasn’t a Muslim-related issue, but it was the Muslim guys who got into it, yelling out to Allah.

“They were refusing to go into their cells. They refused to line up, then it went from there and exploded.”

The prison officers had “geared-up” as soon as they sensed trouble.

The riot did not involve convicted terrorists held in Goulburn’s Supermax, who remain under constant surveillance.
