Australia on Monday raised its terror threat level to “probable” from “possible,” citing an increase in extremist views in the country leading to a more than 50% chance of the planning of an onshore attack in the next 12 months.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he had raised the country’s threat level following advice from security services, but said there was no imminent threat of an attack.
“The advice that we have received is that more Australians are embracing a more diverse range of extreme ideologies and it is our responsibility to be vigilant,” he told a news conference.
It’s a solid shmaybe
From ‘Alert, but not alarmed’ to ‘maybe a bit alarmed, still alert though’.
They’re gonna need another $15M fridge magnet campaign
“Sir! Sir! We’ve got to be prepared, we’ve carefully crunched the numbers and the results are bad! We’ve gone from I don’t know, maybe? to a coin toss!!”
more Australians are embracing a more diverse range of extreme ideologies and it is our responsibility to be vigilant,
This has a high “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” vibe to it.
All costs are rising, wages are stagnant and the new government still likes to spread money on big business. Yeah, it makes people a tad miffed and open to perhaps less ideal views on society.
