Opposition leader Bill Shorten has described reports of a planned attack at the Gallipoli peninsula as ‘deeply concerning’.
He says ‘this world should have no tolerance for violent extremism’ and ‘what we can’t let it do is discourage the marvelous tradition of Australians travelling to battlefields where Australians have fallen in previous conflicts’. Mr Shorten says Australians should 'be proud of our identity, proud of our history, and continue to learn about sacrifice' despite the world being 'a sometimes dangerous place'.
Could this bloke possibly be any less sincere
from the prick who if elected whats to double our Moslem refugee intake, every terror raid by Feds are on Moslem REFUGEES!
Deeply concerning. Seriously. Its the oldest form of warfare in history. Yet terrorism was worse in the 70s and 80s but now we have social media to instill fear and change laws.
The offender was a Syrian 'refugee' of course, of which Bill want's to at least double the intake of now that the caliphate has been defeated..
So Bill, does this still mean Labor stands shoulder to shoulder with the community you are deeply concerned about now? This, as well as other statements you have made since the start of your campaign are nothing but confusing. Good work, you're not believable, never will be.
It’s deeply concerning that it’s completely obvious Australians would be targeted at Gallipoli but the pathetically desperate Coalition government deliberately allowed Australians to be put in harms way as a political distraction from their corruption incompetence and failures
And you want to let more into the country? billshortenmp 😡

Turkish nationals banned from Anzac Day service in Gallipoli | Sky News AustraliaTurkish nationals have been banned from going anywhere near the Anzac Day Dawn Service in Gallipoli on Thursday due to heightened security fears across Turkey.\n\nTight security restrictions will be in place with only registered foreigners given access to the peninsula for the service.\n\nLast month, Turkish President Erdogan warned Australians and New Zealanders with anti-Muslim views about visiting the country, saying they would be returned home in coffins.\n\nMr Erdogan later backtracked, saying his comments were taken out of context. \n\n\n\n Seems a bit harsh, perhaps just no backpacks...🤔 That’s because Turkey knows what’s coming and simply seeks to protect its own nationals and keep them out of harms way! Remember the Turkish President’s comment!!! EmniyetGM MevlutCavusoglu TC_Disisleri TC_icisleri suleymansoylu hey security guys, your incompetent actions makes us disreputable. Why don’t you give a shit about it? People are coming thousands of km away to serve a memorial, yet you only know the word ‘ban’ 👏
