Australia Raises Terror Threat Level to Probable Amid Warning of Extremist Ideologies

The Australian government has raised its terror threat level from "possible" to "probable" based on advice from security services, which has noted an increase in extremist views across the country. Intelligence Chief and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that there is no indication of an imminent attack, but acknowledged that the security environment is becoming more volatile and unpredictable. The decision to raise the threat level was not triggered by a single issue or ideology, but rather a general increase in extremist views.
