I hate to predict things but IMHO take a look

1. It's too low, much less easy to damage.
It's not going to happen.

2. I believe it has underground parking
and any damage to it would be a blow to the people of Australia.

4. Three well placed stinger missiles would bring the entire thing down

6. Lower than...

7. For those of us who don't know what that is...
...why don't you tell us? I'm not sure I know what it is. I'm guessing the famous Sydney Opera House.
