It also appears that in raising the threat and pushing the legislation that they may have blown the operation to get the nasties.
Is that a bad thing? as far as im concerned, anything that prevents a terror attack on Aussie soil is a good thing, even if that means the suspects will no longer carry out their threat and the feds have a blown operation? im sure the the cell under survelence will continue to be watched, and if they plan another attack later in the future, then im sure the feds will than have a case against them and take action
