*shrug* The Bali bombing was aimed at and killed mostly Aussies.

Yeah but it hardly counts as home grown from Australia's perspective. Maybe the bill should mention Indonesia or The Philippines.

I'm slow tonight - all the countries listed are loyal allies in the War on Terror, and can therefore probably be counted on to not rock the boat. Duh.

Wasn't there some sort of violence in Sydney a couple years ago involving foreigners? Like racial riots or something? Maybe they are referring to that.

Yeah, but that was mostly a single race riot by white people angry about the behaviour of some Lebanese migrants. Nothing of the homegrown terrorist group this bill is supposedly about.
There are a few fairly extreme mosques in Australia, that are being watched.

Damn, I just got it. They should ask Australia for advice because Australia hasn't had a domestic terror attack. Obviously the Aussie system is the best in the world at domestic security! Oh wait ... APEC ... Chaser ... farce/fiasco ... I don't think the US is going to be asking Australia for security advice anytime soon. Thats another theory down.

*Returns UT's shrug*
