This is what the Australian government is funding! This is what the Australian government has sanctioned!

Malcolm Turnbull says Australians should be 'very alert' after IS call for lone wolf attacks.
An Islamic State propaganda magazine has called for 'lone wolf'
attacks at locations in Sydney and Melbourne.
Should this be taken seriously? Or is it just another ploy by the government to legislate more restrictions on Australian citizens in the name of terrorism? Since when have the government been seriously concerned with public safety?
An assault on our right to self-protection.
In legal terms, Australians have a right of self-defence. While some
states rely on the common law and others have it enshrined in statute, the
right itself is never questioned. Moreover, juries consistently refuse to
convict those charged with serious offences whenever self-defence is made out.
What we don’t have is the practical ability to exercise that right.
Possessing any object specifically for the purpose of self-defence, lethal or
non-lethal, is a criminal offence. There are many women, raped and/or murdered,
who would have been liable to prosecution had they been carrying anything that
might have saved them.
