I didn’t want to post this in my original message before I had time to make sure of the details but four Churches have been the victims of arson attacks in the Geelong area in recent months. So has one Mosque (but as that was a former Christian Church that had been converted but still looked like a Church, police suspect the arsonist may have thought it was a fifth Church).
I hope to God that this has nothing to do with terrorism, but it’s certainly something that comes into my mind.
I grew up in Geelong - went to school quite near where this happened - it’s a beautiful city, but vulnerable like any other.
Further checking - two of the burned Churches I just referred to were specifically in the suburb of Norlane where this bomb was found. Norlane only has a population of 8,000 people in two square miles. It’s not a big place.
