There were two incidents of pedestrians being deliberately killed in Melbourne back in 2017 but neither were terrorist (both mental health and drug issues)

Probably the Dec 2017 one who was an Afghan refugee. 1 dead and 17 injured.

and the fella who did the December one wasn't visiting on a visa like numbnuts is suggesting, he had lived here for 13 years at the time and had Aussie citizenship.

See, if Australia didn’t give anyone citizenship, but instead was a hermit kingdom like North Korea, this wouldn’t have happened.

At least, no other countries would know that it had happened.
