Australia terror threat

[PerkyOchrePeer]

I want to go on holiday to australia. I've been before but after what happened to bondi beach, my friend is saying Australia is a very dangerous country and listed as a high level risk of terrorism. I said I still want to go abd if it was that dangerous the FCO would ban people from going. I said I would ask the travel agent when I book. The travel agent said she would still go to Australia but would not go to Israel and said she wouldn't feel as safe in Israel. My friend said the travel agent is only saying this to get me to book the holiday abd spend money so of course she will say yes go.

What does anyone else think? Does what happened on bondi beach pit you off visiting Australia

I've booked my holiday now

@MrsTerryPratchett bit early for the sherry/glue

OP says she has been before.

And did you call the police ?

That's not "terrorism" though.
Happens everyday everywhere (sadly 🙁).

If you read the start of this thread I said I want to go to australia and said I had been before which was how I got to see the fight in perth

How sad.

If you've been before you must know a bit about the culture.
I believe the name "aboriginal" isn't used these days and is considered rude and offensive to use.

We are under a high terror threat, too. I imagine the risks are about the same.

I am interested in the history of the country and how everyone should be treated fairly

Don't use a name considered offensive then.

Oh Perky, another thread about a potential return visit to Australia? Remember how much you moaned about your experience last time?

@Needmorelego, 'Aboriginal' is fine (capitalised), but the noun is now seen as derogatory. So 'Aboriginal person' or 'Indigenous person'.

I thought this was a satirical post at first. It's full of bizarre FB cooker "facts".

So don’t be offensive towards them then

What? This post is starting to feel like a bit of a wind up.

Thanks. I googled to check. It said it's generally considered offensive these days or just a bit old fashioned really.
The way the OP used the name just felt....off if that makes sense.

Curious about this now

We say 'First Nations' now, actually.

Terrorism is literally in every country, just go on the holidays

But my point is you weren't afraid to despite the isolated terrorist attack that cost many lives, so why be afraid of Australia

Fair enough 😂 But they did at least stop those 7 men in NSW the other day! I took that to mean they were actually doing something, but I take it from your comment that it was very much a one off 🙈

I associate England with terrorism much more than Australia.

I think that is the first attack I've ever heardnof over there. I can name many in England.

I'm in Australia, noone I know is fearful at all. It was one hateful father and son duo and they are both regarded as pathetic scum by the whole country and everyone who stepped up on the day as heros so I doubt a repeat situation is very tempting to future hateful dickheads.

My thought too. It's been quite a while since we had an Australia-bashing thread so we're overdue.

As for @PerkyOchrePeer if you're that bothered, why aren't you signed up for travellers' advice? https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

I do not recognize the country described in her comment. I don't think anyone sane or informed would.

I mean, taking just one "fact", where are these places?

in every single city there are massive areas where even the army won’t go let alone the police as they are running it under sharia law
