What is the point? That the police in Australia do not engage in extra
judicial killings, or that the police in Australia were justified in executing
this young man because of the allegation (reproduced by Alan Bradley 
from the Murdoch press) that this young man was a member of a right 
wing extremist group? Or are you saying that Australians'  indifference 
attitude towards this killing was justified by the same allegation? 

Actually, irrespective of Alan's post, the police forces in Australia and
Victoria and Queensland in particular, are well known for their propensity 
to kill unarmed persons, particularly when said unarmed persons happen 
to be Aboriginal or suffering from mental illness.
