Mr Fraser acknowledged the comments would be viewed as controversial, but said he is voicing the view of many in the community. “But we have to recognise that the… security agencies spend their days ensuring that these attacks do not occur, and of course, most of the attacks, they succeed in thwarting”.
So far no Australians have been reported killed or injured in the attacks, though a large number, likely several thousand were in Paris at the time. “This threat is posed by those motivated by the current conflict in Iraq and Syria”.
Emma Parkinson, the Tasmanian teenager who was injured in the Paris terror attacks, has undergone surgery in Paris overnight after being shot in the hip.

He says any potential attack could be similar to the murder of Curtis Cheng outside the Parramatta police station, “one person working with one or two others, inspired by the Paris experience but not directed as closely by IS as the Paris action obviously was”.
“Every parent can sympathise with the thought that their child has been injured in an incident like this, and I have to say, she’s a fearless girl and in all the circumstances, in good spirits”.
