It would be nice if the Australian alert were added.
NZ does not need any kind of alert, it is just that kind of nation.

NAME
Acme::Terror::AU - Fetch the current AU terror alert level

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/LWP/ADAMK/Acme-Terror-AU-0.01.readme

SYNOPSIS
use Acme::Terror::AU;
my $t = Acme::Terror::AU->new(); # create new Acme::Terror::AU object

my $level = $t->fetch;
print "Current terror alert level is: $level\n";

DESCRIPTION
Gets the currrent terrorist threat level in Australia.

The levels are either...

CRITICAL - an attack is expected imminently
SEVERE - an attack is likely
SUBSTANTIAL - an attack is a strong possibility
MODERATE - an attack is possible but not likely
LOW - an attack is unlikely
UNKNOWN - cannot determine threat level

HOWEVER, as the government has repeatedly stated that they think
triggering various security events off a single level system would be
damage flexibiliy by oversimplifying the situation, and in any case, why
on earth should they let the terrorists

it would be funnier if we could use this:

as the images for the "terror" alerts.

i hope people understand that these "terror alert" and "threat advisory" systems are wholly inaccurate and not grounded in reality, they in-fact, are forms of psychological terrorism themselves. they do a whole lot more harm than good, if they do any good at all that is.

I like this widget.

Is there any chance of including Australia's threat level on this widget as well? Australia's threat level can be found at http://www.nationalsecurity.gov.au/
