That's the new trend though. Recruit and incite individuals to commit jihad. Kinda like Canada.
Not hard to do but extremely attention getting.
I could see it being an Australian who went to fight in Syria and somehow made it back into Australia despite the country's intense tracking and anti terrorist re-entry program.
Except, the flag (below) that this guy and what seems to be a cohort was carrying wasn't ISIS'. It's al-Nusra's. Al-Nusra wants Assad out; the organization doesn't have a history of focusing on western targets in its campaign like ISIS does.

That's why I think it's likely a couple of guys acting on their own rather than being backed or encouraged to strike in Australia by an organized group. But, I could be wrong. It's possible that al-Nusra is supporting these guys. Definitely not ISIS though -- the hostages wouldn't be alive now if it was ISIS and the ISIS terrorists would be proudly displaying their own flag.
