have made impressive progress in constraining a resilient and pernicious terrorist threat.
For Indonesia — and Australia — the bomb attacks in Bali 20 years ago were transformative. In the wake of the bombings, successful forensic investigations by the Indonesian National Police, in partnership with the Australian Federal Police , profoundly reshaped the police forces of both nations.. This was an unprecedented attack that killed three and injured 11.
Their successful cooperation led to the arrest of members of a breakaway bombing cell of an Indonesian al-Qaeda affiliate, Jemaah Islamiyah. Formed in 1993 along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border by so-called mujahideen, or holy fighters, this group supported the resistance to Soviet occupation in Afghanistan.
Is that a rhetorical question?
The risk of terrorism will always exist while government control the narrative.
My favourite part about this article is that it answers its own question in the negative— IE: no, the threat is not over— but justifies the downgrading of terrorism risk level in only the following:
... or that it was never substantive in the first place?
as long as we keep listening and treating all with grace and dignity, we will be fine thats how successful societies are built GuyFieri
What has happened is that a deal has been struck between the worlds most aggressive terror nation, the US and we now have terrorist bases in Australia and are part of the terrorist threat to other nations. Oh we are also now a target for nuclear retaliation against this terror.
The only real terrorist threat in Australia is domestic White RW terrorists, like Brenton Tarrant. But we all know how they aren’t a threat to the ruling class, or their interests so they won’t be taken seriously
Whats changed? Could it just possibly be that Australia has no troops on the ground in the middle east? NAH too easy
Homegrown terrorism is our greatest risk!
The big threat is right wing dissidents whose opinions I don't like. At least that's what research funded by the Lowy Institute tells us.
Tell that to the cops families in Queensland.
. It means the transformation of Australian intelligence agencies from guardians against foreign actors to a domestic citizen surveillance system is complete. No further need for the 'terrorism' pretence. .
Is this man not the personification of the Devil? Australians should boycott travel to Indonesia in protest of his release from prison.
No, the threat is still there especially by Home Grown Right Wing terrorism which is seemingly very underestimated by authorities & the media!
An interesting piece by Greg Barton. Of course, the ABC couldn’t help themselves & started with a photo relating to the Christchurch lone gunman killing when an image relating to the Lindt Café, Bali or Manchester pop concert would have been more relevant to us.
What about all those anti -big pharma ant- vaxxer, freedom of movement, say no to war radical conspiracy theorists that watch Alex Jones all day long?
It's downgraded currently until some radicals get offended by Australia's actions against them
headline asks and answers own question
Wait until those weapons start arriving back from Ukraine along with their swasika-wearing owners.
no, we are still part of team America
I'm pretty sure that Jordan Shank's house getting burnt down was an act or terrorism? PS, any updates on that story or do you consider it un-newsworthy?
Difficult to get a technical like that through customs in this post-COVID world...
