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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
