Comment on Breaking: NSW Police responding to reports of shooter at Bondi Beach

  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.

      Did you not read the page you linked?.Most of the incidents are in Sydney or Melbourne or their outer suburbs/districts. And yes, bigger cities tend to have more social problems.

        You literally claimed this can’t be a national problem because baawww two states.

        Those two states hold the majority of the population of the nation. Hell, their individual capital cities alone hold about double the entirety of WA. Combined, they make up over half the country - as in nearly 60% of our entire population. What friggin’ metric do you need for something to be considered national?
