Anti terrorist teams should be in place by now with the Counter Terror teams on the way.
How wrong I was!

After an embarrassingly long period of time Australia's Federal Government announces changes to legislation and practice regarding internal-domestic terrorism response.

One wonders why we spent vast sums of money over the last 3+ decades training military to deal with terrorism only to let the State revenue raising guys police run the show?

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/australian-army-to-be-deployed-on-domestic-soil-during-future-terrorist-attacks-20170716-gxc7gu.html

"The military will be given sweeping powers to deploy forces and even take charge during terrorist attacks under changes to Australia's national security laws.

The new system, which has been approved by cabinet and the national security committee, will be announced by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Defence Minister Marise Payne during a visit to Sydney's Holsworthy Barracks on Monday....

"We cannot afford to take a 'set and forget' mentality on national security," Mr Turnbull said. "We must constantly review and update our responses to the threat of terrorism."...



After rereading the legislation am not really sure what amendments are required to rectify the situation.

Maybe a new amendment "[insert clause] "ignore NSW Police Association's pathetic turf protection"

Would say "lol" except this is just not funny. Decades of watching various Minister masturbate in public about how protected we are (like during the Olympics) and we are still at this stage!

Here is appropriate part of legislation for anyone interested:


"51B Order about utilising Defence Force to protect State against
domestic violence
Conditions for making of order
(1) Subsection (2) applies if a State Government applies to the Commonwealth Government to protect the State against domestic violence that is occurring or is likely to occur in the State and the authorising Ministers are satisfied that:

(a) the State is not, or is unlikely to be, able to protect itself
against the domestic violence; and
(b) the Defence Force should be called out and the Chief of the
Defence Force should be directed to utilise the Defence
Force to protect the State against the domestic violence; and
(c) one or more of Divisions 2, 2A, 3 and 3B, and Division 4,
should apply in relation to the order.
Power of Governor-General to make order
(2) If this subsection applies, the Governor-General may, by written
order, call out the Defence Force and direct the Chief of the
Defence Force to utilise the Defence Force to protect the State
against the domestic violence.
Provided always that the Emergency Forces or the Reserve Forces
shall not be called out or utilized in connexion with an industrial
dispute.
Content of the order
(3) The order:
(a) must state that it is made under this section; and
(b) must specify the State and the domestic violence; and
(c) must state that one or more of Divisions 2, 2A, 3 and 3B, and
Division 4, apply in relation to the order; and
(d) must state that the order comes into force when it is made
and that, unless it is revoked earlier, it ceases to be in force
after a specified period (which must not be more than 20
days).
When order is in force
(4) The order is in force as stated in accordance with paragraph (3)(d).
Revocation of order
(5) If:
(a) the State Government withdraws its application to the
Commonwealth Government; or
(b) the authorising Ministers cease to be satisfied as mentioned
in subsection (1);
the Governor-General must revoke the order...."
Etc.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.
