Well it happens in Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne. It does frustrate me a bit that these things get framed as Australian issues when they’re often not.
Look through the list of terrorist attacks (successful and prevented) in Australia, you’ll consistently see the same two cities coming up. It is hysterical and/or arrogant to immediately frame this as a national issue when it’s just simply not. Australia is not mono-cultural, we shouldn’t be extrapolating out from two cities and pretending the other ~60% of the population suddenly has something to fear.
Did you not read the page you linked?.Most of the incidents are in Sydney or Melbourne or their outer suburbs/districts. And yes, bigger cities tend to have higher reports of terrorism. That is entirely consistent with the point I am making here.
You literally claimed this can’t be a national problem because baawww two states.
Those two states hold the majority of the population of the nation. Hell, their individual capital cities alone hold about double the entirety of WA. Combined, they make up over half the country - as in nearly 60% of our entire population. What friggin’ metric do you need for something to be considered national?
Sydney + Melbourne is closer to 40% of the nation’s population. Not really sure why you’re talking about states, that’s a complete strawman on your part.
It’s bad enough shit like this happens overseas. It’s even worse that this can happen here, literally on the other side of the world.

Man you’re not even correct on your claims.
“The most populous states have the highest number of people doing shit” yeah it’s called statistical probability.
