BTW, my kids were on Bourke Street when that idiot decided to drive down the footpath, and he ended up just outside my building, so don't think that it's that far-fetched, and it doesn't have to be ISIS.
I don't think the water filled barricades are compliant as traffic barriers anymore. Someone did a risk assessment that they could leak and therefore become ineffective, so their use was banned. If used empty they become lethal projectiles if hit with any speed. That is why the compliant barriers have steel cables running along them to tie them all together. Concrete barricades remove this risk.
