The Australian government has raised the country’s terrorism threat level from “possible” to “probable”, reversing a change made nearly two years ago.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, made the announcement in Canberra on Monday.
Intelligence sources said the decision to raise the threat level was not triggered by any single issue or ideology, but noted an overall increase in polarisation in Australia and other western countries.
The sources said social cohesion was under strain and Covid-era grievances were being exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Yes, he gave up official ‘daily daft dingo’ status in '85 so he could own american television networks
I consider the colonial parts of AUS & NZ to be just as much “the West”. We’re all the same monoculture anglosphere besides minor surface differences.
“Minor” surface differences? Some of us call them parmas, and others parmis. That runs deep.
May these two vastly different peoples leave peacefully among each other.
