"blew up" were the words I heard.

No word yet on whether muslims were involved...

I cannot find anything in the Australian newspapers about an explosion.

I received a call from a friend who talked with Hodgdon. The Hodgdon factory in Australia that makes shotgun powder did indeed burn down. So we shotshell reloaders may have to get creative with what powder we have.

Red dot, green dot, blue dot. Hodgdon doesn't make them I think.

I still think this is BS ADI is a big company in Australia and if something had happened it would be all over the news and media outlets and as yet haven't heard a thing
I frequent a local gun shop and haven't heard anything through there
the link above is for the munitions side of the Thales groups that part owns ADI

As rumors go, this one is right up there with those reports than Daniel Perazzi had risen from the dead, only to be arrested in Colorado on anti-terrorism charges. Munitions plant explosions are high news value industrial accidents. The utter silence of the main stream media on this one is pretty good indicator that it didn't happen. Nor, if you want something to worry about, has Mr. Perazzi been reincarnated as jihadist.
