Brandis fronts Muslim community over raids

Written By Unknown on Senin, 03 November 2014 | 22.24

ATTORNEY-GENERAL George Brandis has revealed 71 young Australians have fought in northern Iraq and Syria while 73 people have had their passports cancelled to prevent them from joining the conflict.

THE attorney-general fronted ABC TV's Q&A program on Monday where he took questions from the Muslim community and others concerned about recent terror laws and raids and the implication for civil liberties.

Mr Brandis told an audience in Bankstown more than 15 Australians had been killed in the conflict in northern Iraq and Syria where the Islamic State have been waging war.Australian Federal Police assistant commissioner and national manager for counter terrorism Neil Gaughan also joined the audience and became the subject of questions regarding the Sydney terror raids in September.He denied media reports a sword seized from a home during the raids was plastic and warned more raids would come."It was a legitimate sword that was seized...it was a weapon," he said.The AFP officer said he refused to apologise for the raids because law enforcement groups had information to suggest a terrorist attack was imminent."What we'll see now is more raids like we saw in Sydney because the environment has changed," he said.He refused to comment on whether there were current preparations for raids.The officer also rejected claims the raids were "overkill", saying future operations could yield similar results with only one or two arrests.He denied the terror laws were used only for Muslims, saying a Caucasian Christian had been prosecuted in Brisbane for trying to fight in West Papua, Indonesia.Audience members included prominent Muslim community leader Imam Mohamad Abdalla and Lydia Shelley of the Muslim Legal Network.
