    Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Director-General Mike Burgess last night said one of the attackers was known to his organisation before the shooting “but not in an immediate threat perspective”. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has since confirmed that Naveed Akram came to the attention of ASIO in October 2019

    Maybe start here instead? Restricting firearms would just mean the next attack is done with a bomb or a truck right?

    If ASIO can’t tell if someone is a threat or not then what good are they?
