Canberra passing the buck again.
Australia has long had an ingrained neo-nazi problem.
Looking for someone else to blame won't change that.

Yes and no. Radical islamists and their leftist sympathizers are not "long ingrained", and neither do they need paid thugs or crypto currency. Ideological brainwashing is enough.

Why would the Police Anti Terror Squad be concerned with grafitti if it was not for the power of the Jewish Lobby.
Christiaan Churches, Mosques, Hindu Temples get graffitied....never heard the Anti Terror Squad being called in.
These are just normal police matters.
A photo of two alleged offenders showed them with PUSHBIKES !!!!!!
Can you get an idea of the level of "terror " if the offenders dont have cars because they are too young ?
Overreaction.

People might remember a right wing Politician ...still in the Senate, I believe , who ran on various racist platforms....ant Aborigine, anti Asian immigration, finally settling on anti Islam.
No mental colossus, her parties platform lead with "Adherence to the Australian Constitution " and a few lines down "no more Mosques to be built in Australia "
Well, the Australian Constitution prohibits any discrimination based on religious grounds.
No Anti Terror Squad called in , despite her leading COUNTLESS RALLIES opposing Muslim immigration.
In other parts of Australia, country Victoria for example, rallies were held with nasty banners saying "Muslims Out " and "No Muslim Immigration "
No anti Terror squad called.
Now today, some idiot kids photo graphed WITH PUSHBIKES spraying nasty grafitti on a Synagogue causes the Anti Terror Squad to be called in.
These offences are grafitti offences, not nice, but not of itself terrorising. These are local Police matters.
UNLESS the group you are targeting has political sway
Please mod...dont delete this but can readers see a difference in law enforcement and political approaches.
Dont Muslims matter as much as any other groups ?

Right wing politician was Pauline Hanson....her voice would crush concrete

Zhaphod....people get freaking annoyed at genocide being enabled in Gaza.
Hundreds of thousands marched in many countries in Europe, USA, Latin America, Australia and more.
In any group totaling a million or more there will be some who take measures others would not.
Focus on the cause....blowing the limbs of little kids with 2000 pound bombs dropped indiscriminately

@GuruMick has pretty much covered what needs saying on this topic from an Australian point of view.
Lets not get carried away playing the "antisemitic" card which is just worm out at this point.
The only instance that could have been classed as terrorism, is if the inept attempt by the kiddies on pushbikes to set fire to a synagogue had been successful. Thankfully it seems their parents never let them play with matches.
Stay alert but dont go overboard. Common sense required.

worm out
*Worn out.
Fighto!
Are you suggesting the likes of Mohammed Farhat - one of these 9 arrested - and his comrades, are part of a "neo-nazi problem"?
That's one hell of a stretch.
In the words of NSW Premier Minns - "Throw the book at these animals"
WoodyLee
Probably NO ONE,
My guess is Gaza Genocide is causing all of this.
WoodyLee
No different than the Settlers attacks on the Semitic citizens of Palestine

I doubt radical Muslims connect with the ideas of Hitler and the "purity of races " idea.
Keep it real folks.

“It’s only kids.”
Or
”It’s nothing compared to Gaza”
So which is it? Or do you have any other excuses?
Seriously. Look at what kind of Muslim extremism Europe has to deal with. Australia is no different
