What would happen if Australia had a suicide bombing with people killed and injured, including police officers? Picture the outrage if a guy with a beard wore an explosive vest into a hospital! What if maps were found potentially identifying Central Station as a bombing target? Or if a huge stockpile of over 50kgs of explosives was found, including liquid explosives and also the type that was used in the London bombings? Imagine there were car bomb attacks happening too. Wait, that’s all happened before. Yes, all of that has happened here in Australia. In Pullenvale, Brisbane earlier this year the stockpile was found. Central Station was mapped out as a possible target. The same person had previously used explosives to blow up a car in Newcastle and may have been targeting a Newcastle train station too. In Derrinalum, Victoria earlier this year Glenn Sanders appears to have detonated an explosives vest that killed him and injured police officers. He flattened the property he was on and had other explosives on site too. The explosion could be felt from kilometres away and it took three weeks to clear the site in an “unprecedented” operation. He used to wear an explosives vest into a hospital too! Don’t worry though, these werent national security concerns. There was no need to pass new laws or raise the terror threat level. No community was targeted because of these cases and no hysterical atmosphere of tension was carefully cultivated. But a Muslim can become a terrorist threat if he has a book, a sim card or even just an opinion.
