One Term Tony Abbott is a Morally Bankrupt Politician

One Term Tony Abbott's terrorism security concerns are for the Australian fighters for ISIS. 
"These death cults are the biggest threat to Australian's way of life," says One Term Tony Abbott. "They are the biggest threat we face."
Really? Where is the evidence to back this up? 

There have been 113 Australian victims of terrorism worldwide since the 1978 Hilton Hotel bombing in Sydney. That's 113 victims in 37 years. The number of  deaths on Australian soil at the very most is 4, if you are alarmist and want to maximise the number,  which would count Sydney's Martin Place siege, which realistically was not a terrorist act, so that makes the number 3.

We're talking about between 3 and 113 people.

Does anyone other than Abbott think this is important? 
Would anybody be concerned by this if Abbott wasn't continually stirring the embers of fear? It is an irrational fear stirred up by an manipulative government who knows that fear and insecurity serve their political ambitions.

Why are we spending tens of millions on this? 


Domestic violence has killed 44 women this year in Australia, 80 last year, yet we are cutting the funding for this issue. 

Around 1000 people have been killed by shark attacks. 

There have been 8500 victims of car accidents in the last ten years, yet One Term Tony's (irrational) key infrastructure policy is to build more roads. 

There have been 66 deaths in custody of indigenous aboriginals in the last 10 years, but we are spending money, and police effort in closing their settlements and forcing them into cities where being in custody will be an increasing statistic. 

We are financially pursuing agendas which will inevitably result in more Australian deaths and yet the smallest threat in the country is receiving tens of millions in funding!

Lightning, has killed 10 Australians in the period 2003-12 which is more than all the Australians who have died on Australian soil by terrorism in the last 100 years! So why?

This is a policy developed by politicians who are morally bankrupt in appealing to the populations most base fears to retain power. It is governing by stupidity and yet the Australian public seem to be falling for it, I don't know why?

Why are we seriously worried about terrorism? What One Term Tony Abbott is really saying is the biggest threat to his political career is not getting involved in this issues.

Terrorism is not a threat to Australia, in fact, One Term Tony Abbott getting involved in this Middle East problem is a bigger threat to our way of life.
