ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says mix of ideologies promoting violence behind rise in terror threat level – ABC News

The head of ASIO says the targeting of Australia’s youth and the rise of a violent mix of ideologies that defy logic are among the major reasons Australia’s terror threat has been raised.

ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says Australia’s terror-level threat has been raised to “probable” due to a rising mix of ideologies where more people think “violence is permissible”.

Mr Albanese earlier said the raised level had been driven by increases in youth radicalisation, online radicalisation and the rise of “new mixed ideologies”.
