True story or convinient announcement given the government's wish to ram through anti-terror laws this week?
Personally, I think (and hope) this is the government playing a card to run through it's legistlation and not the real deal. Unlike America, Australia has been quiet conservitive in its use of the "terror alert" and announcements of this type - so I will almost gurantee that this will resonate pretty well with the public and we won't see much desent from Labor etc.
Attack being planned in Australia: PM

Australian intelligence authorities have received specific information about a terrorist threat in Australia, Prime Minister John Howard says.
Mr Howard refused to give details of the threat, saying the Australian public would never forgive him if he wrecked any police operation to stop it.
Australia's general terrorism threat level will remain unchanged, despite the information.
