Hi Foxy

Authorities are required, by laws, to declare a Terrorist act if the evidence warrants it. The judiciary are also part of the processes.

The stabbings by Cauchi the christian may well have been followed by sectarian/religious Copycat
stabbings (at the Wakeley Assyrian Eastern Orthodox Church) yesterday by a 15 year old.

Authorities are now MOST PROBABLY trying to avert Revenge attacks against mosques and other muslim institutions or individuals in Sydney or in towns/cities where others might wish to retaliate.

Burning down institutions at night has been a sectarian violence tactic worldwide.

Also rightwing extremism is probably being kept an eye on - opportunist acts wise.

Here is a constantly updated website on the Wakely Stabbings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Wakeley_stabbing

See the ABC News" 4min 30sec Video uploaded about 8am, 16/4/24 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR8Aww3N0pA

Some of the text below the video:

"Extremism expert [Dr] Josh Roose says by [the NSW Police Commissioner] declaring the incident a TERRORIST ACT immediately [at 1.35am 16/4/24] police allow themselves the [wider legal powers and manpower] resources "to really explore this thoroughly".

[Dr Josh Roose] "says a [TERRORIST ACT declaration] will activate "an array of wider powers", and to look into the extent to which the individual was acting alone."

Hi Foxy

Unfortunately your link http://theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2024/apr/16/australia-news-live-stabbing-sydney-wakeley-church-bishop-nsw-police-chris-minns-bondi-bruce-lehrmann-brittany-higgins?filterKeyEvents=false didn't work - could be a platform problem with the end code "?filterKeyEvents=false" not helping.

"X and Meta issued takedown notices over Wakeley church stabbing content" of about 12noon Today 16/4/24
at http://www.cyberdaily.au/government/10433-x-and-meta-issued-takedown-notices-over-wakeley-church-stabbing-content

Which states in part:

"The Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has issued notices to social media giants Meta and X to take down “extreme and gratuitous violent material” regarding a violent incident that occurred at a Sydney church overnight...the companies have 24 hours to remove the material or be issued with a fine."

“While the majority of mainstream social media platforms have engaged with us, I am not satisfied enough is being done to protect Australians from this most extreme and gratuitous violent material circulating online,” Inman Grant said during a press conference.

“That is why I am exercising my powers under the Online Safety Act to formally compel them to remove it. I have issued a notice to X requiring them to remove this content. A legal notice will also be sent to Meta this afternoon, and further notices are likely to follow. I will not hesitate to use further graduated powers at my disposal if there is non-compliance.” WHOOAA!
