If You See Something ... Terror Alert Melbourne

Today, a major multi-agency operation by Victoria Police, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) foiled an alleged plot that was targeting Melbourne on Christmas Day.

As indicated in the media - this was not an act of faith it was an act of evil.  

As many security leaders already understand - the same perpetrator profile arises much to our disappointment.  PM, Malcolm Turnbull repeats again - Australia has a great history of multiculturalism but there remains a very small number of radicalised and ill-informed individuals who target the very society that has provided them with a safe and accepting community.

Again it is important the community and its security services work together - if you see something say something!

The National Security Hotline 1800 123 400 is a vital component of Australia's national counter-terrorism effort.
