      A Chinese dance group had a threatening letter sent **to them** which said that if their performance went ahead then that person would attack the PM

      Just to clarify before everyone starts circle jerking about a performing arts troupe

      This is an extremely poorly worded headline, I’d even say akin to misinformation. I’m sending a complaint to the ABC

      Edit: it’s been pointed out to me the article’s title has now been changed to be much more clear. Good job folks, keep auntie honest.

      >Large quantities of nitro-glycerine explosives have been placed around the Australian Prime Minister’s Lodge, located on Adelaide Avenue in the Deakin area of Canberra, Australia,” the message said.

      >”If you insist on proceeding with the performance, then the Prime Minister’s Lodge will be blown into ruins and blood will flow like a river.”

      Don’t think I’ve seen such a roundabout threat before.

      Calling them a Chinese dance group ridiculously disingenuous. 

      Shen Yung is directly operated by Falun Gong, a cult who have hid behind horrific actions of the Chinese government (some true some debatable) to shield them from all blame of their own. 

      Through their newspaper they are directly responsible for pushing Qanon, anti-vaccine misinformation and now one nation to an audience of mostly Chinese diaspora.

      I feel like teaching kids how to discern a trashbait headline from the factual content should be something taught in primary school

      Albo should summon the Chinese Ambassador for a please explain. Threats against Chinese Australians and the PM are unacceptable.

      Headlines like this aimed at throwing shit at China are misleading and propaganda.

      The Chinese dance troupe were the ones receiving the threat mentioning the pm.

      Jeez is this how my tax money is spent?

      They are publicly funded, they don’t run ads, they have no need to bait clicks, and the very bare minimum they need to do is just to report things straight. And they can’t even do it, out of a plethora of more appropriate headlines…

      Quite amazing to see this thread turn into a pile-on on both the dance troupe and the ABC, with almost zero mention of the bomb threat itself.

      One would almost think that poor headlines or being Sino-cookers is the greater sin.

      This thread is genuinely dangerous misinformation, people are leaving with the impression that Shen Yun itself made the bomb threat, when the bomb threat was made against the Australian government warning them to not allow Shen Yun to perform.

    22. Candescence on

      The headline is misleading. The bomb threat was towards said dance group itself, whoever sent it has a narc on regarding Falun Gong.

      It should be noted that Falun Gong is a cult *and* it was also on the receiving end of an incredibly brutal and horrifying fascist crackdown by the CCP (including, yes, organ harvesting, independent investigations have determined that the CCP is indeed in the business of murdering “enemies of the state” and harvesting their organs) because the then-premier was threatened by the cult’s rapidly growing popularity. Both things are true.

      Its just been updated to “Security threat prompting PM evacuation linked to threats aimed at Chinese dance group” buts its still the bullshit headline when you click on it, the updated one is arguably awful too.

      Incompetent.
