Mr McCartney said Islamic-inspired terrorism continued to be the biggest threat, with Sydney and Melbourne the centres of that activity.
“What we see with right-wing extremism, particularly with the effect and the power of the internet in terms of those sites, it's apparent that it is more spread throughout Australia,” he said.Opinions divided on whether Australia could effectively ban extremist far-right organisations ASIO director general Mike Burgess later told the Senate estimates committee his agency has diverted additional resources towards dealing with the evolving threat, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"They see the pandemic as proof of the failure of globalisation, multiculturalism and democracy and confirmation that societal collapse and a race-war are inevitable." Threats from far-right extremists have skyrocketed in Australia, with ASIO comparing tactics to IS
I would of thought it was left wing extremism, with their constant climate change protests, blm protests and going out to peoples farm and stealing animals and leaving pens and gates open.
What a joke! The ultimate in disinformation campaigns from the fake news SBS. The threat is not from the right, the threat has always been from the intolerant left. The marxists, the greens, the BLM and the fascist antifa movement. Give us a break.
The AFP is just as corrupt as the FBI. Anyone with dignity left years ago.
In other words... the AFP has detected a rise in right wing discussion on the Internet unlike left wing Antifa action.
'Right-wing Extremism' = Questioning endless mass immigration and thinking about the long term effects upon our society.
Diversion !
Saying immigration drives down wages and increases property prices is paramount to fascism so I'm not surprised
Well stop turning the country into a leftist socialist authoritarian enclave
Anyone see the “make Victoria great again” or cops throwing WP hand signs? (Whispers) it’s coming from inside the house
Why do people want to pretend this isn’t an issue or get super defensive when it’s brought up?
Right wing ‘extremist’, 2020: Avoid drugs and alcohol Avoid porn Read Care for animals Stay in shape physically and mentally Be monogamous, have a family Don’t hate yourself for your ethnic background Love your country, history, culture Horrible stuff, right?
Hey can you point me to the articles you've done calling out left wing terror perpetrated by antifa? You know, the real stuff as opposed to the make up nonsense you are peddling now?
Now do left wing extremism.
Must be the Hillsong group they are very extreme 🤣
So they are right wing because they don't agree with the left wing crap being fed to them by media organisations like SBS and ABC
There is a commitment to multi cultural values but not to Australian values?
ABertwhistle Send them a Postcard, calling them by their Facebook ID, to their home address. Fixed.
SBS means the right faction of the Left wing. Like Adolf Hitler was of the right faction of the left wing socialist party.
It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with our utterly corrupt government or the fact they continue to deny the biggest threat humanity ever faced while ensuring they live as slaves while they wait to die.
could be they are just fed up with politicians and the agenda to make us all cave in to their wims
What utter BS. Look at antifa, BLM. Do they resonate from the right?
You can thank Murdoch for that!
So for years everyone has ignored this in the left wing, but now it is a problem?
That'll be the boys. Name the gender please don't include females when they are hardly relevant, if at all.
So your only picture is of the real fascists. Antifa. Fitting.
ChinookJo Trump’s World ! Dictators that Want to Win! Don’t LET THEM!
SBS If u were anymore extreme left you fall off the stage
LOL. As a Jew I have found it the other way around. Let's not have any facts get in the way of a good leftists story though
They are being 'radicalised' by reality. Being called an 'extremist' for being tired of anti-whiteness from the media and politics isn't going to change anyones minds on the matter.
From the photo, I assume this is referring to the cops
There was millions allocated in the RW extremist budget $0 spent so far If they dont find some soon it wont be renewed
Hail victory.
Horseshit!!
You will be labelled extreme right wing if you refuse to surrender your freedoms.
Aggressively radicalised? All one has to do is bear witness to the the cascading absurdities of liberalism to move right. No intervention is terribly necessary
I'd love to see some examples of this right-wing extremism or even some examples of the alleged online radicalisation. The entire story is predicated on hearsay.
As soon as right wing people hear that some of them are extremists, they prefer to instantly back them up instead of asking themselves what world war II was about
You must be kidding! The biggest threat to society today, by far, is extreme toxic leftist ideology.
Australia is going to become Aus-Mohammad-lia.
Extreme right and extreme left. Let's remember both of these groups resort to the same tactics and behaviours.
It doesn't get more 'far-right' than the religion of peace.
Highly dubious. Anyone who expects normal oversight of civic institutions in Victoria is now regarded as right wing extremism. That's a large group. The best health care reformers I know are mostly infirm and want dignity. They want oversight. Are they extremists now too?
Don’t forget the same is happening with left extremists too. And here’s SBS throwing fuel on the fire just to get our attention while growing their business
Seriously, when has there EVER been right-wing extremism in Australia? I'd wager that, just like the FBI in America, the AFP themselves are creating these 'groups' and encouraging /radicalizing youth themselves. Just look at the attempting kidnapping of that governor, all FBI.
Young people are becoming informed and openly discussing the issues rather than swallowing the MSM BS.. Strange that no mention is made of ANTIFA and the left wing violent groups who are now having to pull their heads in
Straight from the US text book on boogie man paranoia.... devised to maintain a state of fear
A sad indictment of what Australia is becoming.
Alarming as this trend is it's unfortunately not surprising. If the culturally dominate left insist on making everything about identity the right will too. If the left wish to regain political dominance (& make actual progress) we'd do well to refocus on socio-economic concerns.
Blame the Morrison government
Isn’t the immediate threat from the left wing extremists ?
There are barely any fascists in Australia or in many western countries at all for that fact. What we have are people who dont have jobs or a future cause of neo-liberal policies decimating our economies and then turning citizens internally as a distraction.
Why? It is bec the Australian Govt is taking the lead in extremism, as minion to the damned fucking US Govt!
That's Hillsong for you!
LOL ASIO is quite clear that the main terror threat is Sunni Islamic extremism. Don’t lie
Don't forget to add left_wing also.
Might be in response to the aggressive online radicalisation from the left wing extremists at the SBS and ABC
Might be a RW
It's almost like SBS is blind ?.
the other end of the extreme is as bad, was told by a Frankston resident, the areas are taken over by refugees from Africa, crime rates up, street crimes much worse in this sea side town. DanielAndrewsMP Melbourne Victoria
LOL ASIO is quite clear that the main terror threat is Sunni Islamic extremism. Don’t lie
The CIA agent’s family got executed in China due to the list of Chinese CIA agents sent from JoeBiden BarackObama to Chinese Communist Party. Her name was 彤宝国. For CIA to verify, for TheJusticeDept POTUS DHSgov to hold CCP accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Yeah but do they freak out and want to kill when they see a cartoon of a certain so called prophet?
Sorry, but our biggest threat to our way of life is left wing extremism. But you are not allowed to call it out. And obviously SBS or ABC would never!
Offending a right-wing extremist in France will result in your head being cut off.
The AFP just has to set up a fake account on Facebook promising free gun range membership, all the Red Bulls you can drink, unlimited hamburger Sunday shooting and a discount on Japanese blow up dolls and then monitor everyone who signs up.
Using a pic of the swastika for the shock effect even though it clearly has a 'fascist-free zone' sticker on it 🤦♂️ When was the last time there was a right wing extremist incident in Australia? The leftist media circle jerk is so complete, they are now just jerking themselves 🤣
Waits for “whaddabout antifa” comments.
AU has it's own racist history
Define please! Low taxes? Liberty?
'aggressively radicalised' ie being introduced to the idea of Patriotism: love of and pride in, your own country and its history and achievements. Radical indeed...
Yes yes so true , the right wingers are a threat to our safety in this community especially Muslims who are targeted all the time . Need more hate speech laws to stop criticism of Islam . 👍🏾
Pushing that old barrow of divisiveness.. But if you want to report objectively about radicalized extremism.. Start talking about real world problems & truths.. Like this incident in France 🇫🇷 That happened only days ago.
SBS News is radicalising the radical left wingers, but they never do news stories about them.
Oh yer because all those security checks at airports and all those bollards around the city are to stop those pesky right wingers . Seriously .
Pauline Hansen and her friends need to leave Australia
‘Mr McCartney said Islamic-inspired terrorism continued to be the biggest threat, with Sydney and Melbourne the centres of that activity.’ The biggest threat is a footnote at SBS.
Thanks LiberalAus for removing the cross-media laws and giving MurdochTabloidTrash a monopoly Thanks newscorpaus and FoxNews for spreading radical right wing 💩
I really don't believe the AFP is that clever.
Send them to USA
Kkkk Eu quero é novidade ...
Talk to Murdoch about that and sign for a royal commission.
Ze germans they coming
