A terror attack in Australia is likely within a year and the threat from “savvy” right-wing extremists is rapidly growing, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) secretary Mike Burgess warns.

on Thursday that the threat from right-wing terrorists had exploded over the past three years.

“Young Australians are being ensnared in racist supremacist and misogynistic ideologies in a way that is deeply concerning … It’s the extent of what we’re seeing that’s the difference: more people interested in it, more activity,” he said. “These violent extremists are acutely security conscious and adapt their security posture to avoid attention.

The Australian Federal Police warned the internet enabled lone wolf actors to connect to international terror groups. That posed problems for counter-terror operations, but Mr Burgess was “confident” the intelligence apparatus was adapting.Four were linked to “ideologically motivated” nationalist and racist extremism, while 22 were linked to “religiously motivated” Sunni extremist groups.

Actually the ASIO chief said that defining groups as left or right aligned was problematic and much activity occurred from people with a mix of political beliefs. But don't let that stop you stoking division.

If it’s likely, was there an assessment of its chances of success and impact

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Terror attack likely 4 hours ago. This post

very well done. Keep spreading the fear. How much are you getting for these lies?

Am I weird? Aren't these the sort of potential threats that are investigated by security forces quietly? Why are these numbnuts encouraging anxiety & distress

I other words, the government is planning a false fist attack anytime soon...

Please do not raise the issue about the extreme right to simmer and or appease the violent left.

In before some Wingnut declares Nazis left wing

There's something wrong with that guy

The government is predictable, if nothing else.

Funny how we've had more ISLAMIC EXTREMIST attacks, particularly in Melbourne

And you wonder why after joining US's illegal wars in Iraq and Afganistan. Reap what you sow?

Sounds like a federal election is coming..

Are the LNP considered a terrorist organisation? They should be, their constant fear mongering is very concerning.

Onya Murdoch. Grab a shovel.

Oh look an upcoming election

It’s already happening. It’s called

The ol' Johnny Howard distraction technique

Must be an election coming up soon as LNP war, terrorism and defence rhetoric has escalated at a rapid rate

Election year scare campaign. Seriously, you're far more likely to die from a blood clot, and if you're a woman being killed by a partner or ex., or if you're indigenous by dying in custody.

Blind Freddy could predict that. Also with covid getting better, people will be out & about more than ever before! And the terrorists have been in Lockdown with nothing better to do than plan. Dangerous combinations

Way to try and scare the population and cause more racial issues.. Isio seem to keep on top of these things in Australia, let’s just hope the stay ahead of these issues!

The 'tolerant crowd' aren't going to like this. On a plus side, the deflections of whataboutism in their denial will be comical to read.

ASIO warns of religiously motivated terror attack within next year | Sky News AustraliaAustralia’s top intelligence agency has warned it is likely the nation will see an ideologically or religiously motivated terrorist attack within the next 12 months.\n\nAppearing before Parliament’s intelligence and security committee the ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess said there is reason to believe lone actors and groups have both the capability and intent to carry out a terror attack.\n\n“The terrorism threat level remains probable … If you look at our current case load, we still think that Sunni based violent extremism is the major concern,” he said. \n\nExtremist messages resonating with Australians are largely race based according to the ASIO boss who noted white supremacism was a racist narrative which was supported by some. \n\nAsked whether he has seen evidence of “extreme misogyny” purported by Labor Senator Kristina Keneally, the ASIO boss responded in the affirmative and noted it went hand in hand with “nationalist and racist violent extremist” narratives.\n And nobody to blame but government predictive programming? plausible deniability? So we should all be scared, and ensure everyone votes LNP in the soon to be announced election, as only the LNP can protect us right?
