Rather than a sad day, in my view it is a day we should be thankful for.
Really, this should be most days

We should firstly be grateful that these thuggish interlopers, brought amongst us by people who do not wish this country well, have not been able to accomplish what was in their evil minds.
That's what the intelligence services and police are for.

Secondly we should be grateful that many more Australians will be roused from their apathy to see the threat that is around them, a threat that can only grow year after year. And that they will hopefully see the dangers posed by the apologists in the Greens and some sections of the Labor party.
No. It's nonsense. Another plot was prevented, the threat remains similar to what is was in the past. Due to the current conflict we are stupidly involving ourselves in the threat might be increased, but it remains negligible, and it certainly will have zero effect on how i live my life. It's just another criminal act.

Thirdly, we should be grateful that we have a government that has the vision to see the dangers and to enact increased security laws to do what we can to protect ourselves.
Hell no. The laws are clearly sufficient. They worked, didn't they? At some point an attack will succeed and short of becoming a police state nothing will prevent it.
