Right-wing extremists a 'primary focus' for NSW anti-terror squads

NSW police are looking local right-wing extremistsSpeaking this morning following revelations accused shooter

, Commissioner Michael Fuller said the threat of lone-wolf actors was"an emerging risk", and an area police were looking at closely."We have arrested right-wing extremists in this state. We have criminal orders against right-wing extremists. We take it seriously. "We know that in some western countries it is an emerging risk and we're certainly looking at it closely, but we are also taking action against those in NSW and we will continue [to do so], and if I need to continue to build our capability in the right-wing extremist area, we will do that."

The Commissioner said the national terrorist rating had not changed and there were"no active threats" on the radar in NSW following"The national terrorist rating stands at probable," Commissioner Fuller said. "[And] I want to reassure the people of NSW there are no active threats in NSW linked to what we saw, the terrible crime that we saw in Christchurch."

Fraser Anning will be hiring the next hitman.

I would hope the focus on returning ISIS fighters would be high too.

After the event? CSG whistelblowers are prime targets for Qld Police fixated persons unit.

'NSW Police said... we will be conducting a two-pronged investigation..., and the second is to make sure that he hasn't slipped through the cracks...' Really Commissioner Fuller? The perpetrator did exactly that - slip through the cracks!

Ummm, your ‘extremists’ are closer than you think.

Oh come on. What the hell have they been doing til now?

Does this mean an all points bulletin for TonyAbbottMHR and crew?

Except for, the chap who committed the shooting yesterday was a left wing extremist by his own admission, a fascist who supports communist China. He hates everthing the right stands for.

colinelvy11 Mr Anning knows the runs of Parliament now, inside and out.

GladysB Attention All. I wish to announce that I have entered the ranks of terriorism. Gladie, I am advising you of this, as it is your comments of late that has radicalised me. I am very aware this may result in police action, bring it on, I will protect myself.

Seriously? Since today? From support to investigation haha

It is about time that all form of extremism (religious, racial, political, etc) should be under the police microscope

A Communist, right wing..is this a new thing?

PCKJ3627 Now, you mean?

Now they are!

He was as Right Wing as Malcolm Turnbull.

Except that this guy is a self described eco fascist. Keep looking in the wrong place and you won’t find anything. The fundamental cause is the identity politics of division and hate. auspol

Hopefully most muslims will realise our nation is not islamophobic. We simply have our share of racists as does the rest of the world. Religion has very little to do with it. Radicalisation is a world-wide multi-faith multi-cultural problem. Let's see it that way.

Hang on realDonaldTrump says no rise in white supremacists.

Can we just call ‘em extremists? I mean, what does it matter from WHAT side of politics they are?

u_hardy Wow, Aus is beating us....they had one mass shooting and they're gna ban assault rifles.. Going to make right-wing extremists primary focus. We've had how many mass shootings? Trump says there is only a small group of white nationalists!!!

Don't let Fraser Anning into NSW!

About time!

TheBigShip Subordination to Islam.

Tony Abbott: 'Well, Islamophobia hasn't killed anyone. Islamicist terrorism has now killed tens of thousands of people, that's why its absolutely critical that there be the strongest possible response at every level.' AFR 5 Jun 2017

Just when the world is finally getting on top of one extremist group, ISIS, a new extremist group emerges, RWNJ 😪

'All right-wing extremist violence started in hate speech' billshortenmp See any links ? They radicalise and breed terrorism. If we don't change the laws to address this we're wasting our time.

Glamorous Gladys leading by example again!

Excuse me, the guy in New Zealand is from the left, an Eco warrior and communist. A bit of balance would be nice

Right wing extremism is a reaction to Islamic extremism

Lyn_Col Better late than never

Caroleina2 We are surrounded by Right-wing, racist, haters. They hide in plain sight.

primary focus should be SSRI drug addiction+how it seems to be linked to many mass shooting events/also should be considered th 2de armed man who saved many by being armed at the 2de site/also needing investiagation is war/murder\\violent games+the guy looking retarded+distracted

Are these the same people who won’t call an attack by Muslim Extremists -Islamic terror ? They keep Islam out of it as much as possible claiming mental problems but wow doesn’t the media jump if the criminal is white and right wing

What is a right wing extremist? The Right and Left is not a straight line, it's a circle where extreme left and extreme right meet...the NZ shooter was a White Supremist, anti Conservative, with communist sympathies. He was right where the circle meets.

Well why are tgry not concentrating on One Nation, Liberals, Nationals, Shooters, Christian groups like Lysle & his mates? When are the police and the DPP going to stop bashing GLBTI? It's hard for a Right Wing extremist group to police other Right Wing Extremists

A bit late.

Start with F. ANNING!!

They should be targeted for sure but are they a bigger threat than Islamic extremists we are constantly told not to worry about ? What were we told part and parcel of living in city’s wasn’t it - maybe we could compare attacks over the last ten years

Woulda thought ALL extremists!!!!

Tougher gun laws now premier.. A limit of say 3 guns per household and a good reason to hold them.

Is this a vote-getting, post-terror event, politicization?

You just assume they were extremists. Perhaps they were people who took matters into their own hands because Governments won't act in their country's best interests.

Yeah. So how did this happen !!! Dammit.

When will they raid the offices of the LNP? Do they have jurisdiction to raid the house of the minister for home affairs?

there's a couple right there.

Broaden that to any extremist which is counter to a democratic pluralist society is a major concern & needs to be closely monitored.

Just what ISIS wanted got ya

The ultimate goal of importing a culture that hate western values is this: When inevitable terror acts ensue, GOVT's get the permission they crave to increase their security apparatus until they utterly control the people they once served.

Qldaah The Liberal Party, National Party, One Nation, etc are right wing extremists, the NSW anti-terror squad are looking in the wrong place. auspol nswpol

It always seems to be 'after' and event

These two would be good place to start...

A very slippery path to zero personal freedom, speech, opinion and liberty! All in the name of 'making us safe', or is it all about making us 'scared and fearful?' So what was the aaBill all about auspol nswpol

bit late.

Qldaah I believe it when I see action being taken. But then again are they talking about doing something because the NSW election is coming up even those they had years to do something? nswpol

And here we go, Midnight knocks on the door.

He also said that they are focusing on extremists of all persuasions all over the state. I suppose this was a better headline.🙄

Qldaah They should start with .fraser_anning

So, now all political opponents will be labelled 'right-wing extremists'.

Probably why he wasn't caught..he was not right wing.. maybe focus on all nutters not media branded one's.

This muppet should be top of the list:

Left wing extremists, radical Islamists and so-on are off the hook I guess then.

But what took them soo long.

How about “Extremists a primary focus”, wether shot or beheaded, an innocent victim is just as dead!

So left wing extremists are OK apparently !👨‍🌾

Gun control becomes NSW election issue as firearm ownership reaches milestoneJust a fortnight from the election, fresh data shows NSW has 1 million registered guns, igniting a battle between the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party and the Greens to secure votes. Under no pretext should the working class surrender their arms or ammunition. We’ve been here before - given how replicas, laser tag & paintball companies need to be licensed as firearms, I don’t find word of individuals with “more than 100 guns” to be anything like the problem you make it out to be!
