‘It’s chilling’: ASIO issues probable terror threat level
Deakin University Global Islamic Politics Chair Professor Greg Barton says ASIO is dealing with a “strange cocktail” of terror threats. “Unfortunately, the most common elements are justification of violence and targeting, in particular, the Jewish communities,” Mr Barton told Sky News Australia. “We are told that a number of attacks on synagogues in Australia were through the IRGC,” he said. “That’s chilling. “We are at a threat level of probable, which means there’s more than a 50 per cent chance over the next 12 months that somebody will try something.”

‘We need to smash these groups up’: Minns warns of horrifying online radicalisation risk in NSW
NSW Premier Chris Minns addressed concerns about the glorification of terror attacks after Director-General of Security Mike Burgess warned that individuals can be radicalised online and in isolation within a matter of days. “I obviously worry about that more than anything else,” Mr Minns told Sky News Australia. “To see people radicalised in Australia as a result of this malevolent evil force, this radical Islamic terrorist ideology, is horrifying. “It's a horrifying prospect to think that we would go through that again. “It is obviously confronting for people in New South Wales to hear that there's a level higher than probable when it comes to terrorism events, but that's the grim reality that we are in. “We need to smash these groups up, we need to confront them in every aspect of life.”
