How Big is Australia's Terrorism Threat?
Australia has been ramping up its anti-terror laws less than three months after the Sydney siege. Are these necessary measures or is the government talking up the fear factor?
We head to Australia, less than three months after the Sydney siege, which gripped the country and the rest of the world. The 大象传媒's Jon Donnison presents from a venue overlooking Sydney harbour. He is just a few minutes away from a caf茅 where 17 people were taken hostage by a lone gunman. Since then, Australia has been ramping up its anti-terror laws. Are these necessary measures or is it just the government talking up the fear factor? We hear from a group of Australians in Sydney.
