ASIO chief predicts terrorist attack in Australia within a year

today that while Islamic extremists were the major threat, right-wing fanatics presented a growing concern.

"However, given the growth in nationalist and racist violence we have seen, we anticipate there will be a terrorist attack in this country in the next 12 months."Mike Burgess, Director-General of ASIO, told Federal MPs that Australia should expect a terrorist attack in the next year. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen"It can come from either ideology and therefore for me doesn't really matter, because they're both capable of conducting acts of violence and that's where we focus.

How does asio come up with this, isn'titjust scare mongoring? añd doesn't It invite terriost groups to attack?

maximum fear mongering

Oooohhh I predict that in next years Federal Election this Liberal Government will fall and the Labour Government will win the next election. I also predict that Labour will reinstate all stupid deals with China and the DOGE will surpass Bitcoin by 2025!

The algorithms told me! 😞

It baffles me if one “anticipates” or “predicts” something is going to happen would that not mean THEY can DO something about it to stop it from occurring....and protect people of this nation...just saying it is after all their job no?

So if I'm reading this correctly i think it translates as 'we are going to brew an atmosphere of fear and hatred in the nation which is going to put the lives of minorities in dangers and which in turn will lead to someone get radicalised and does what we said is predicted'

Ha ha ha ha ha! What a fucken Joke! They will say anything for Votes!

Figured as much since there’s so much talk of weapons factories being built etc

I predict there will be a federal election before that.

That Prediction should keep Defence MP Peter Dutton busy. Abbott always sang a tune to Australia : 'they're coming after us' ... ha ha, he he, ho ho. However, it would be more believable if you were to say there will be a Terrorist attack in France, Ireland or US ?

Well since he predicts an attack in Australia, could he please predict how to neutralize it?

So all necessary measure must be taken .

Thanks for the heads-up. Where are you planning on doing it?

And Aus is helping them plan it

Can't wait for the headline 'Media eats itself'

oh shit more fear..when are the aliens coming

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩

Notifying general public with personal instinct... Too bad bro

ASIO 和CIA 比什么也不是。除了给 scomo 出个馊主意让澳吃苦头，没见干过什么好事。浪费纳税人的钱😍。

Well it wont be from overseas. Got me buggered how they will get in when tens of thousands of Australians cant even get home.

Wouldnt be the same without someone running a fear campaign in 2021. Headlines upcoming 'We taking XYZ away' or 'We watching XYZ.....'

Border security level expert

Is Greta popping into the country to give a climate change speech 🎤

There could be an asteroid attack too or maybe not

Fear mongering at its finest🤦‍♂️

9NewsSyd Richard_Hames thoughts on this one?

They’ve been saying this for 15 years..

They also said that far-right nationalism will be a likely perpetrator, one of only two things named specifically. Funny how both are the result of America and white people being terrible.

Always keeping Australians anxiety levels at a low

Running out of fear mongering tactics so lets bring back an old one!

Well-what can I say!

Well maybe we shouldn't be allied to a country that arms them abroad. 2012: CIA arms 'moderate rebels' in Syria 2014: Syrian rebels cross into Iraq & it turned out they're ISIS 🤦🏼‍♂️

Reverend Morrison's full sermon to the Australian Christian Convention.

Fear mongering again!

Must clear that threat!

What type of secret agenda is this? The most active terror groups currently are left-wing BLM and Antifa, they're actually still rioting, attacking, looting, committing arson and vandalism. Right-wing groups? Which ones then? ASIO is such a puppet of the deep state.

The right wing is becoming the biggest threat to democracy worldwide, demonstrated by the January insurrection.

9NewsSyd Poor ASIO being bored lol

9NewsSyd ScottMorrisonMP !!!

Hahaha we anticipate we will feed all the terrorist to our sharks before they attack

9NewsSyd Don't think so.

ASIO budget must be running low.....

The actual quote: 'Spy boss says ASIO anticipating terrorist attack in the next year from either RIGHT-WING or Islamic extremists' You are beyond reprehensible Your mate ScottyTheChosenOne must be in REAL trouble in the polls!

No doubt. Not rocket science to see why.

Alchew83

They say that every year

More fear mongering...LNP playbook

Still Flogging that dead horse
