Former Labor minister Mike Kelly argues that the government’s reasoning for not having a Royal Commission demonstrates they don’t understand the basic principles of terrorism.
“Comments like that really show that there is a lack of understanding,” Mr Kelly said.
“That to me signals a misunderstanding of how terrorism operates these days and the disaggregated nature of terrorism. How people are groomed, how people are recruited, how they’re given the ability to acquire weapons, how they’re empowered and able to develop improvised explosive devices.”
