Firebugs are Terrorists

Thanks to @Jinjirrie for the heads up (a Retweet from @mparent77772) on this tabloid-inspired report in The Age last September:

Islam group urges forest fire jihad
[update - The Age has archived this article see follow up post ]

I'm not so much interested in whether this was a plausible threat or not - it really doesn't matter. What I did find interesting was this:
Attorney-General Robert McClelland said the Federal Government remained "vigilant against such threats", warning that anyone caught lighting a fire as a weapon of terror would feel the wrath of anti-terror laws.
Go on Mr McClelland ... someone has done it - now, what did you say you were going to do? And will it still apply if they are Caucasian and Christian?
