A recent alleged Islamic terrorist plot in Melbourne has prompted fresh calls from Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to endorse the Assistance and Access Bill, proposed in August 2018, which may help government agencies access user data on computers and mobile devices.
Mr. Dutton believes that the planned attack involving Hanifi Halis, Ertunc Eriklioglu, and Samed Eriklioglu may have been successful if the alleged terrorists had solely used encrypted communications for planning. Mr. Dutton described the ease at which criminals and potential terrorists could communicate as an "unacceptable risk". According to police, counter-terrorism agents have foiled 15 attempted attacks since 2014, four of which have been described as "major".

You mean a lot of dangerous local plots.
In the region of Australia, moslem [straitstimes.com] Indonesia's military has been practcing for well over four decades invasions of Australia. A couple times the only thing holding the practice back from becoming a full-scale attack has been Australia's ties with the US and the strength and influence of the US. When the Republicans have weakened the standing and power of the US sufficiently then one of the next times won't be an exercise.
Strong US or not, Australia can be weakened enough by more moslem transmigration to the point where it is unable to either defend itself even long enough ask for international help.
