Terror Threat announcement

The Prime Minister’s terror threat announcement the other day, used to fast-track controversial new powers into effectiveness, is now causing divisions between the government, ASIO, and police.
It’s reported here at NEWS.com.au.
Essentially the same story appears at The Australian, but the two differ slightly.
NEWS.com.au makes reference to Ruddock in the last three pars, specifically his refusal to comment that specific infrastructure sites in Sydney and Melbourne may be known targets. The Australian story does not include that.
That should be good. And probably the best way to protest, rather than emotionally charged street activism that could lead to angry outbursts of violence and clashes with police.
This is why the arts need to be treasured, and why so many dictatorships before have sought to stifle them and the issues they can more subtly bring to our attention.
