  Well it happens in Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne. It does frustrate me a bit that these things get framed as Australian issues when they’re often not.

      Look through the list of terrorist attacks (successful and prevented) in Australia, you’ll consistently see the same two cities coming up. It is hysterical and/or arrogant to immediately frame this as a national issue when it’s just simply not. Australia is not mono-cultural, we shouldn’t be extrapolating out from two cities and pretending the other ~60% of the population suddenly has something to fear.

        Man you’re not even correct on your claims.

        “The most populous states have the highest number of people doing shit” yeah it’s called statistical probability.
