ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says foreign interference is at levels greater than during the Cold WarHe warned right-wing extremism had come into"sharp, terrible focus" since the Christchurch massacre
While delivering ASIO's annual threat assessment, the director-general warned a terrorist attack on Australia was still"probable" and it was"truly disturbing" to see extremists trying to recruit children as young as 13 or 14."The number of terrorism leads we are investigating right now has doubled since this time last year," Mr Burgess told an audience of diplomats and intelligence officers.
Far right-wing groups are now more organised and security conscious than they were in previous years according to the ASIO boss, who has revealed Australian extremists are seeking to connect with like-minded individuals in other parts of the world. "While these are small in number at this time in comparison to what we saw with foreign fighters heading to the Middle East, any development like this is very concerning," Mr Burgess observed.

You misspelt “he said 'violent Islamic extremism', embodied by Islamic State and al'Qaida, remained ASIO's top concern.”
Why are you showing a photo with a swastika on fire from the United States? You are leftist socialist fakenews Deliberately misleading in your propaganda auspol
ScottyfromMarketing’s government continually make comments that stir up the right-wing extremists. This government makes it easy for ASIO to track these right-wing extremists as the right-wing extremists of the LNP r running this country.
Well, this story sure has triggered a lot of crypto-Nazis and sympathisers to make a whole bunch of deflective look-over-there comments. ASIO thanks youse for your contribution to their investigations.
Keep in mind that Tony Abbott and John Howard have been called nazis by the left.
What a headline. Listen to ASIO director general Mike Burgess' briefing and you quickly realise that any rightwing threat ranks a distant third behind Chinese interference and Islamic terrorism.

losers! what does skin colour or religion matter?
Of course this thread would be full of apologists, anonymous cowards and deniers screeching nothing to see. Hello ASIO have a look.
Just because somebody identifies as a National Socialist doesn't mean they're a NAZI! The extreme left Greens don't necessarily want to emulate PolPot by murdering innocents. Although Mr Brandt is a worry.🤣
ASIO I am an Artist/Law Student, originally from India. Realistically speaking, how safe am I from right wing extremism in Australia? i.e - White supremacy - Indian/Hindu supremacy - Christian Supremacy - Aboriginal Supremacy
What rubbish! Islamic terrorism is by far a greater security threat.
Bloke shot in Brissie on the weekend = totally not a terrorist Lets run a story on the far right
Australians neo nazis?
Of course they would. I'm more worried about lefty terrorists then neo nazis
So not Muslim Terrorism, African Gangs, Asian drug importation rings or Middle Eastern Organized crime?
All neo Nazis should be deported to Sweden.
Maybe Peter Dutton could focus on neo-nazis and domestic violence perpetrators instead of the bull shit terror threat.
. Absolute B S More lies from 'our' intel. Don't tell me, they need more powers to spy on Aussies without a court warrant from a judge. Time to wake up, Aus. The terrorist group to be scared of are embedding themselves in our public service. Office of Home of Fears.
Oh Really And not Islamist Extremists What a crock of Bull
If find them deport after giving a flogging. We don't need this crap in the country.
What? 3 dimwitted ratbags from WA? How many Muslims have been gaoled for terror activities in Australia? How many neo-Nazis?
Just like that lad in Brisbane the other day
conservatives in the thread struggling to come to terms with what their politics produces
It’s all about how it’s framed. The statement “amongst” holds true if, say, the leading security threat to Australia, let’s call it “factor C”, poses a threat level of a standardised 100; the second, “factor R”, at 60; the distant third, “neo-Nazis”, with an impact of 10.
More bullshit from the ABC.
Trouble is they are Dutton's support network, and his inspiration as well. LNP will never want them investigated, same reason Trump ignores KKK issues!
Yer all those diversity bollards cluttering up our major cites are there because of the threat of Nazis 😂😂
And most of them are in the Young Nationals/ Liberals
Burgess wants to make Muslims (& Antifa, the Greens' military wing) feel better. So he makes up an imaginary bogeyman from the right. The Left laps it up, but based on terrorist 'incidents' it's shown to be bullshit.
What did we think was going to happen if the population is allowed to sink into an indolent re-enactment of history? Let's not pretend there isn't a massive movement to undermine 'white' interests in Australia, feeding on the traumatic and psychotic past of European civilization.
Meanwhile someone on a terror watch-list just stabbed a tourist in the Brisbane CBD. But sure.... right wing. Sure.
The socialists are the neo Nazis.
Nonsense.
The have some way to catch up with the jihadists some 40,000 terror attacks since 9/11
Wow. This has to be complete bs. Someone needs to be sacked at the abc.
Because most of them are cops
'... ASIO advice led to an Australian being blocked from leaving the country to 'fight with an extreme right-wing group on a foreign battlefield.' ' Which group & what battlefield?
traceywithhope This is the result of dog whistling, started again in ernest in 2013 auspol
ASIO needs to justify their budget i guess
What absolute garbage
I am yet to see any of their actions.. any of their 'threats' becoming reality. (antipodean (spelling) group in Aus has roughly 3000 members - from roughtly 24 million that works out to 0.01% of the population. They're morons and losers all, not a one is much of a real 'threat'
Infiltrating the Young Nationals, the police and military.
The misspelled One Nation Supporters.
Not surprising considering our government is the far right.
There would be more Turkish drug dealers in Sydney doing actual harm than all of the neos in the whole country who probably never leave the computer at home, stop with this nonsense
So ScottyFromMarketing is in the shit 💩 and what happens 🤔 They roll out the old 'terrorist' cart distraction, for another scare campaign, it's old give it a rest LNP 🤷 FMD 🤦
Should this article be true, and one very much doubts it, it is completely understandable given the unfettered immigration that has taken place in Australia in the last 20 years. No intelligent person would knowingly import such folk who seek to destroy Australia`s way of life.
They're everywhere - everybody I don't like is a Nazi!
They are amongst us.....
Hmmm..... auspol
Same old story in every Western nation.
Compare number of murders by neo nazis v number of domestic violence murders and ask which is the biggest threat
Silver Lining: At least they won’t have guns.
What an absolute crock
They are already running the country
Lies...
Nobody is surprised.
A decade of News Corp/ Coalition rule will do this.
😳

Travel warning to Japan upgraded over coronavirus fearsThe Australian Government has warned travellers there is now a heightened risk of travelling to Japan. Countries are upgrading their quarantene levels to maximum meanwhile Australia lets Chinese students come on over and pays for private jets so that confirmed carriers transported here. Yeah, thanks guys Yet the Government & Universities want Chinese students to hop on a plane and pay their fees. The hypocrisy is astonishing. what about tourists from Japan/Korea/Italy coming here, are we going to stop them, are they being checked for coronavirus before entering this country?
