I want to reassure Australians probable does not mean inevitable
and it does not mean there is intelligence about an
imminent threat or danger. But the advice that we've
received is that more Australians are embracing a more diverse
range of extreme ideologies. And it is our responsibility
to be vigilant to be clear, this is the
same threat level that was in place in Australia for
more than eight years before it was lowered in November
of 2022. Since then, we've seen a global
rise in politically motivated violence and extremism. Many democracies
are working to address this, including our friends in
the United States and in the United Kingdom. There
are many things driving this global trend towards violence.
Governments around the world are concerned about youth radicalization,
online radicalization and the rise of new mixed ideologies.
