police state swoops on 'troublemakers'
obviously planning to behead prime minister Tony 'knighthoods are for retiring governor generals' Abbott who was hiding in an indigenous comunity in the northern territory while it all went down.

I wouldn't say hiding - more like being a patronising racist git.
This is a distraction by a s++% government, trying to seem tough, anything to divert attention from the fact that they are inept, racist, sexist, homophobic pigs doing thier best to bring the worst aspects of the US to Australia.
The US comments aside, I am not familiar with Australian politics and just my cursory view of the news of this event, seems like a large police action which at least currently leads to reports that it was a successful mission which stopped some terrorist actions.
I noticed there seems some discrepancy between the reports you have and what I have seem at CNN. Which leads me to believe it is perhaps because those were earlier reports? I am wondering why you feel this was just a show of force as opposed to an actual threat that was averted?
8th Dwarf just an aside: The worst aspects of the US ? Or perhaps the worst aspects of humanity? I don't think the US corners the market on those sort of actions, seems like they are pretty prevalent in all of humanity itself.

They intercepted a phone call which was was planning a random killing, kinda like the man who was butchered on the street by extremists in UK.
In that case then it was decisive action that saved lives.
But 1 charged out of 15 arrested? How many of those arrested had nothing to do with it?
Did they have any evidence on these people, or were they targeted because of their friends of friends?
Alligations of racial targeting have been made, but we'll have to wait for the media hyperbole to die down before that claim can be assessed.
This doesn't sit well with me, but my anti government bias may be getting in the way.

government officials under threat...
single suspect charged for plan to kill someone
High visibility police campaign amounts to little more than a police state intimidating the populace. I vote yes to the deportation of the entire government under charge of treason.
