"Attorney-General Philip Ruddock has again defended the government's decision to follow in the footsteps of London and Washington with a major revamp of counter-terrorism laws.
With today marking the fourth anniversary of the bombings which destroyed the World Trade Centre in New York, Mr Ruddock said Australia remained a terrorist target and the government should vary its response accordingly.
'Clearly we are on the horizon and we remain on the horizon,' Mr Ruddock told ABC television.
'We look at what has happened abroad and we look at where they might want to attack interests, western interests, as they see it.
'Our major cities are obviously, I think, targets which have not been reached before but where you could well contemplate that (they) might.
'And how you deal with those issues, of course, are the very basis for the additional measures that we've announced in this week.'"
