In short:

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson has told the ABC seven men arrested in Liverpool yesterday have "extremist Islamic ideology".

The men travelled to Sydney from Victoria, with police swarming on them over fears "a violent act was possibly being planned".

What's next?

Police have detained the men under national security legislation and they will likely face charges.

Zero evidence provided. Arrested them as a "precaution". Creepy slippery slope rhetoric. You are witnessing the rise of xenophobia/fascism becoming more popular and appealing to more people in Australia. Mark my words.
