I think a lot of Australians get complacent overseas, we live in a relatively safe country that we forget itโs not like that everywhere. This tragedy really makes you think twice about where to travel.
Maybe I'm naturally cautious but I always research any destination before I go somewhere.
That being said, it's becoming stabby central right here at home. We've had the bondi junction incident, the knife fight at highpoint, attempted knife attacks at Water gardens shopping center, and the knifing and murder of a surfer at coffs harbour.
I can see metal detectors being installed at shopping centers at this point.
