HAPPY NEW YEAR, UNHAPPY CENTENARY.

      New Year's Day, 100 yrs. ago, marks Australia's first terrorist attack by Muslims, as mentioned in my book, The Sable Provenance. Two Indian nationals attacked a train out of Broken Hill, killing 4 and injuring 7. They were shot dead by police. Islamic terrorists?? Yes, notes were found in their pockets attributing their actions to the glory of Allah. This was very close to the murder of my grandmother by Muslim radical students from the dental school in Banda Aceh [the town almost wiped out by the 2004 tsunami]. Lets pray for a peace-filled year ahead on our streets, in our homes and on the roads.
