Starbucks are attempting to re-enter the Australian market
http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/starbucks-coffee-is-quietly-expanding-in-australia-after-humiliating-retreat-eight-years-ago/news-story/b7f136c4d78f24aaa600a3822b1e31b4Racking up losses of $143 million on its Australian operations, in 2008 Starbucks sacked 700 staff and closed 66 branches leaving a rump of cafes in the CBDs of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane mostly serving tourists familiar with the brand.
I wonder how well they'll do this time 'round. It sounds like they've actually looked at what the local market wants.

What, why can't I sue a foreign country for not trying to stop terrorism...

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a training issue. Evaluation, yes. If you are needing to train cops to just obey the law and not assault people, you just have a general "who is a cop / who is a criminal" identification problem.

Even if it was a hoax we still have that identification problem.
