Authorities have investigated eight incidents since April, but the prime minister says a terror incident is not inevitable.
The terror threat level in Australia has been raised to "probable" from "possible" with eight incidents investigated within Australia since April. The threat level was downgraded in 2022 but a rise of extremism across the political and ideological spectrum has forced the upgrade, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
" Burgess said while political differences and debates were an essential part of a healthy democracy: "Provocative inflammatory behaviours are being normalised" and "trust in institutions is eroding". Burgess said "this trend increased during COVID and gained momentum after the terrorist attacks on Israel and accelerated during Israel's military response".
