Quote:
It's alleged the pair were in possession of an Islamic State style flag, and were planning to carrying out a potentially "catastrophic" attack.

Police claim to have seized a machete and a hunting knife, along with a video purporting an 'imminent terror attack' was 'revenge for incidents overseas'.

Officers received a tip off about a plan to 'harm and possibly kill' a member of the public on Tuesday, in an attack 'consistent with IS messaging'.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that "regrettably there are people out there, some living in our midsts, who would do us harm".

But the government was "maintaining a ceaseless vigilance against" such people, he said.


Completely predictable given that his own backbench tried to roll him last weekend.

Look over there, a terrorist.

Our illustrious leader over here used the old worn out inappropriate phrase again in his statement on the news of aid worker Kayla Mueller's murder at the hands of IS, saying they will "be brought to justice." So tired of that civil authority spin on how to deal with IS. Extermination by absolute military force, that's the proper method of dealing with IS.

Couldn't they pin it down on more believable "terrorist"? I am surprised they did not mention that those two guys also had household chemicals and meat cleaver.

Are Aussies becoming stupid just like US population?

Not sure if people are seeing the unfolding events of how these independent extremists operate that I am seeing, but for the most part these guys are not funded...at all really. ISIS for the most part ill-equips their people (most of the larger groups are wearing sneakers) They join the cause independently or with a small cluster of other loner lunatic losers. They come up with a "plan" to walk into a store/school/venue filled with unsuspecting people and start making demands and killing them. They carry out their attacks with common household equipment or other stuff they can get their hands on. Any weapon against another who has no weapon will win, its like fish in a barrel. Its not like these vermin are using standard ISIS issued knives/guns equipment. It's usually their own/procured equipment.

Please tell us Vikas, how else are you supposed to fight against such vermin other than look for the signs of extremism and act on it? At least the OZ method...its something. How are the US doing in this regard exactly (Boston marathon bombing, other recent attacks by extremists) loads of wounded and casualties in comparison. You look for the signs and act on it.

It's one thing to have a beef with a organization/government, you take a bunch of similarly minded people and have the cahones to go up against that organization/government directly.

Anyone...anyone who has an inkling of causing harm to innocent people to make a statement is mentally broken and they have to be dealt with. If they are driven by ISIS agenda exponentially illustrates that broken-ness.

Those pondering joining ISIS should know:

If you have an ISIS flag in your possession = guilty and you will be put in the ground.

If you have been discovered having made a plan to attack innocents or communicating with ISIS = guilty and put in the ground.

If you have any connection or affiliation with ISIS = guilty and put in the ground.

The potential recruits should know that they will not make a difference in the mind of that society they are "protesting". They should know they will not be feared. They should be the ones to be afraid.

Until those fighting against ISIS are ready to deal with them effectively...everything they do will be ineffective.
