If what you are saying is right, and it may well be, you don't think the media and police are doing the right thing?
Best not to plaster all over the news that it's terrorism so as not to influence anyone else into copycat mode, the only reports of terrorism we are getting are the successful operations stopping any would be terrorists .
I'm in agreement with the reporting we don't need to be emboldening anymore nutjobs, regardless of religious belief.
It’s 100% correct and factual.
They are going to attack us regardless, they already have several times in this country. It’s just been played down.
We are at war with these people with this Islamic sham religion ideology.
It’s time every westerner woke up and realised we are in a clash of civilisations.
Our corrupt politicians are bringing this clash to our cities and suburbs.
It had earlier been revealed that Noori mentioned the mistreatment of Muslims as a factor behind his horrific attack, during the hospital discussion with police.

Yeh, nah we aren’t at war lmfao. Is this guy serious?
What do you think the ADF is doing overseas?
Who do you think they are bombing in Iraq?
Who do you think they are helping the Philippines fight against?
God damn it there are some really dense people around in this countr.
Do you know how the enemy fights? With terrorist attacks.
That is their method of fighting us. Our methods is sending soldiers, and cruise missiles from ships and bombs from planes.
Do you understand the enemy doesn’t just want to kill you, they want to take over and convert by force what’s left?

The Australian newspaper is reporting it as the act of a mentally ill drug addict.
Australian Twitter
A vehicle attack on a busy pedestrian crossing in Melbourne’s Flinders Street which left 14 people in hospital was the work of a mentally ill drug addict, police believe. The Australian understands the attack, which occurred at 4.42pm in the heart of downtown Melbourne, is not being treated as terrorism. Rather, the driver is thought to be a mentally ill man with a history of addiction to the drug ice. It is understood he has no known links to extremism and is not known to counter-terrorism authorities. A second man pictured arrested at the scene was unconnected to the attack, The Australian has been told. Police have said publicly the attack was deliberate but that the driver’s motive remained unknown.
I believe the article itself is paywalled though, so I found this online.
Hopefully this is resolved quickly.
Thoughts are with the victims.
Bullsh**.
It was terrorism.
There were three people involved, two in the car, one outside filming them.
They were armed with knives in back packs.
They were stopped before they could carry out the next part of their attack, stabbing people, because they got pulled out of the car by by standers including an off duty police officer.
The incident response team from Victoria Police also responded very quickly.
At the moment there is teams of heavily armed police who are patrolling Melbourne ready to respond to incidents like this. That's not a very well known fact despite it being in the public domain. It's not your regular beat cop either, it's like the SOG or CIRT guys.
Let me say it again, this was terrorism.
They are not going to admit it though because 1) it creates panic during the holiday/christmas period, and 2) it's an admission that their migration policies, which basically amounts to handing out visas left right and center to every riffraff scumbag in the third world and flooding Australia with these people, is a complete and utter failure.
There have been several incidents of terrorism in Melbourne and Sydney in recent years, and things are getting more violent and dangerous, slowly but surely.
The perpertrators were Afghan Muslims.
They are using the drug and mental illness excuse because they have the precedent already from the Australian guy some time ago. He was mentally unstable, came from a broken home, parents were junkies, he was a junkie, his brother was a junkie, there was a history of family violence, and he was on an ice binge at the time. He thought the illuminati was out to get him and all that stuff. The guy literally was crazy. And you could go to his various facebook accounts most of which were public and not private, and see his rantings about the illuminati and god.
What's happened yesterday in Melbourne is pure terrorism, the likes of which we see overseas.
Luckily for us though it was stopped half way through the attack and so far people are only injured and not dead. Had they been able to go on with the rest of their attack, by stabbing random people, there'd be a death toll right now.
Enough is enough. Time to start kicking these people out of Australia.
They do not integrate, they do not assimilate. We do not want these sorts of types here, nor do we need them.
They do not add anything positive to Australian society and culture.
A close friend said Gargasoulas' rantings were driven by heavy use of the drug ice, and that he had recently converted to Islam
DIMITRIOUS Gargasoulas, the man accused of murdering six people in the Bourke Street mall massacre, has faced court for the first time — and declared his allegiance to Islam and the Koran.

My husband was there in the crowd. It appears to be a deliberate act with at least 17 injured.
A bystander was also arrested because he made threats to kill the driver
Stay safe this Christmas

If a person is willing to that to random members of the public he doesn't deserve a trial, that is worthy of an instant decapitation. Justice wild west style.

I to actually address what you said I have to disagree, our gun laws are not draconian.

Nor are they effective since Australia still has gun crimes.

You made a claim that there are places in Sydney the police are afraid to go?
So where are they, can you back up your claim ? I don't think you can, so here is your opportunity....
Ah focusing on that one little thing are ya? Can't argue with the rest of what I said so focus on something I haven't given much attention to? LMFAO, you're beaten, give up and go away, find another topic to post in.
I never even what you claim I said, that police are too scared to go into certain areas LMFAO. You can't even debate properly, instead resort to twisting what people say because you lack any real counter arguments, how pathetic.
We all know about the Lebanese problem and other similar groups that existed in Sydney and still does. There’s areas that are unsafe even for law enforcement. That’s why there’s heavily armed special police units now who look nothing short of special forces in blue, who deal with these bastards. Especially in Sydney.
Unless you are prepared to educate your self don't talk to me anymore, because it's just going to get more embarrassing for you lol.

This is idiotic, SUV's clearly were not designed to hurt people, unlike Guns, the only reason Guns even exist is to hurt and kill.
Deny ignorance indeed....
This is idiotic since the reason something is created is irrelevant to the intention of the individual using it. Two-liter bottles were intended to contain liquids for sale--I might use a two-liter bottle to create a fish trap while camping. You know, I purchased two .75" oak dowels at Home Depot, cut them down to 26"-long sections, and use them for practicing my Eskrima martial arts. Did you know that my wife uses freezer paper in order to cut out stencils and use them to create shirts (when you iron it onto the shirt, the wax holds it tight to the surface so you can apply the paint/dye). Sometimes I use my wheelbarrow as a roller-coaster car for my 4-year-old daughter.
Point being, intended use during manufacturing means nothing when the individual uses it for a different purpose.
What do you tell the manufacturer of competition pistols that are designed for competition use only and not defensive weapons or "to hurt and kill"...does that make them not real guns, or mean that they cannot be used to kill or hurt?
Deny ignorance, indeed....
