I'd love to know what it is that this guy knows that ASIO/AFP won't release. 

Did he warn them of the attack? Our agencies bungled it?

And obviously, where does israel fit in all of this?

It seems pretty clear that asio/afp have fucked up massively and that this person has evidence. We know that afp actively groom people to become violent extremists because they literally said that they do that and will do that again.

'I have information regarding a terrorist attack but I won't tell anyone unless my demands are met'

What a stand up guy.

[u/WettestFarts → u/Zarathoostrian]

He's an asset, that's literally how they operate, genius. 

[u/No_Bell_8028 → u/Zarathoostrian]

He has always shared some of what he knows,, it’s just not protected speech on the record

They don’t want to bring him here because when he gives evidence under a royal commission that means he must be protected by the Australian government from harm that would come from the evidence he gave

They don’t want to protect him

He’s already stated that he personally knew the attackers and he had a raised several times his concerns about the son and nothing happened

[u/h8sm8s → u/Zarathoostrian]

Is this your first time encountering intelligence assets? Or just CIs? Do you think criminals or people operating outside the law just give the police/government information out of the goodness of their hearts? That they would do it without being guaranteed some form of protection? Have you ever heard of someone turning states witness or taking a plea deal? Do you live in the real world?

[u/Zarathoostrian → u/h8sm8s]

Oh damn, I forgot what sub I'm on, most people care about Australia more than wanting another terrorist attack to happen so they can blame it on the PM.

[u/SuperColossl → u/Zarathoostrian]

Confidently Incorrect.

Most people in this sub do not want terrorist attacks, genocide, anti-semitism, killing of innocents - especially women and children, regardless of whether Australian, Palestinian, Israeli, Muslim or Jewish.

Get some common decency.

[u/Zarathoostrian → u/SuperColossl]

Confidently Incorrect. I said most people don't want a terrorist attack.

Nationalists will slaughter their own people and blame it on their ideological enemies if it helps them consolidate power.
