Be alert, but not alarmed. Steve Liebmann will look after us.
Of course we have a heightened risk of a terror attack.Something could happen. We have no idea what it is. It probably won't happen. What ever it is.
What are we being distracted from?

Tony did ask ask us to give him and his government more credit the other day.

It will just draw attention away from the budget and other domestic issues the government is despised over.
Classic tactic from the coalition playbook. Shame is the Labor Senator that called it for what it is got reprimanded for it.
As we are at the centenary of the start of WW1, maybe a serious reflection of the geopolitical climate of the last 100 years and all the actions that lead it to where it is today. I don't hold much faith in Team Australia being able to see past the self righteous bull shit for a true analysis of the past decisions made by the west.
National security is generally dealt with behind closed doors but it is very convenient for the government to keep this churning in the public realm.
TEAM AUSTRALIA is classic wedge politics.
Dunno, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't on this one.
We get 1% of the information available and presume to make judgements on the other 99%
So if something happens, and they hadn't done something, they look like idiots, and if nothing happens, it is "classic wedge politics"
On this "TEAM AUSTRALIA" stuff, whatever anyone says now on immigrants embracing "Australian Values" gets laughed at by the latte set. First we get a shallow philosophical analysis highlighting every negative Aus stereotype with a supercilious, superior sneers, with the rest getting laughed at as simplistic. But in reality it isn't a too bad ideal.
But he can't say what it really is "welcome, don't be a c*nt and leave your baggage behind you (it is why you moved isn't it?)"
Was just wondering why you think Team Straya is not such a bad idea? My problem with slogans like these is they get stolen or corrupted so easily. In the governments case they can use it to avoid accountability, in the oppositions case they can belittle the government for the stupid slogan without offering a credible alternative.
Best stay away from empty ill defined slogans that have no firm cultural basis I always think.
Slogans suck, but the premise isn't a bad idea, but it is very difficulty to elucidate in a 10 sec TV sound bite
Now the premise of a team? Working towards a set of goals together, every part of the team doing their part.
I don't see that as essentially a bad thing
I just want people to want to say that they are "Australian Syrians" or "Australian Italians", not "Syrian Australians" or "Italian Australians" I respect and actually really enjoy the different heritages of all my friends, until I start hearing about some hatred that goes back 100s of year, meh, move on, leave this shit at the door and get on with their lives, oh and come to realise that your religions are all just bullocks
