      I can’t find news that one is dead. Can you let me know what source you used please?

      Edit: found it. Yahoo news is reporting that one of the gunmen is dead, one in custody with ten others dead. ABC is reporting three dead, ten wounded, both gunmen in custody as at 8:23 pm Sydney time

      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.

              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 higher reports of terrorism. That is entirely consistent with the point I am making here.

                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?

                  Sydney + Melbourne is closer to 40% of the nation’s population. Not really sure why you’re talking about states, that’s a complete strawman on your part.

    Horrific. This is horrible, I hope the ambulance are able to help all the wounded. It’s important that we do what we can, as a community, to help support those affected.

    The heroic response from those around, including citizens and the police, probably saved many lives, and it’s important that we recognise their courage.

        They’re not wrong, though. Banning things doesn’t stop people from obtaining them. See: abortions and cannabis.

          Coincidentally, they are wrong (the guns were legally owned), but it doesn’t even matter. They’re coming into a grieving community to sarcastically troll about US gun legislation using some ridiculous strawman argument.

      One of the perpetrators had 6 registered firearms. A frankly ridiculous amount for one person to have. Further proof that access to deadly weapons is… oh, I don’t know, maybe just possibly a bad thing that should be tightly regulated.

        To be fair to legitrimate shooters, if you’re a farmer or game shooter you’ll need different firearms. It’s a bit like owning six different sized spanners. The number of guns isn’t the issue, it’s the use.

        LOLOLOLOL. You are the one bringing islam to the discussion and projecting what you think about it but without the guts to say it.

        being hailed a hero for disarming one of the terrorists is Muslim.

      Also if they weren’t being fed antisemitic propaganda by the Israeli government and its supporters, conflating the nation-state currently committing genocide with an ethnoreligious group, in a deliberate attempt to cause exactly this sort of thing to happen.

    This attack occurred as our Jewish community came together at the Chanukah by the Sea celebration. This was a celebration of peace and hope for the future, severed by hate.

    This will surely help everyone to discontinue support for Israel and the violence in palestine will stop immediately.

              Well the comment you replied to spoke about Aussies enjoying holidays on beaches. Your reply didn’t address that at all. Therefore the obvious inference is that you may be against Aussies enjoying holidays on the beaches. I thought it was a very fair question.
