MELBOURNE, March 24 (Xinhua) — Australia will ramp up its police presence at two major potential terror targets - sporting venues and airports - in the wake of the Brussels terror attacks.

Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews announced the traditional Australian Football League (AFL) season opener at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, contested by Richmond and Carlton, would have twice as many police as last year's fixture.

Andrews said the increase in police on the beat would flow through to other public events happening over the Easter weekend.

"These additional resources are ... all about keeping Victoria safe," Andrews told reporters on Thursday.

"(They) are there and the determination is there to ... never let these evil murderers win out."

The Premier said the state had no evidence that the string of attacks carried out on the Belgium capital's airport and rail network on Tuesday, which killed 34 people and injured another 270, would be repeated on Australian soil.

However, Andrews said Victoria needed to be vigilant and ensure "longstanding (safety) protocols were put in place."

The precautions will also be replicated across Australia's major airports over the four-day Easter holiday break.

On Wednesday, Prime Minster (PM) Malcolm Turnbull spoke to officials from the Australia Federal Police (AFP), the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization (ASIO) and the Australian Border Force (ABF) as well as several high-ranking cabinet members to discuss the implications of the Brussels attack.

On orders from the PM, the AFP has reportedly decided to put on extra security for inbound flights arriving from Europe - among other measures - in a bid to reassure the Australian public.
