Australia recently raised its 'terrorist attack threat' from 'possible' to 'probable'. Interestingly, the stated reason for the elevation was not the growing influence of China, or the war in Palestine, but a perceived threat of domestic unrest.

Aus National Security: ASIO is observing the emergence of domestic actors increasingly driven to action by socio-political issues, intersecting with personal grievances. There is an increase in extremism, fuelled by conspiracy theories and anti-authority ideologies. Some actors hold a blend of ideologies, including those that justify acts of violence to influence change.

The rise of individual grievance narratives and how they are expressed, are impacting society’s ability to find common ground. Increasingly it is leading to a normalisation of provocative and inflammatory behaviours contrary to community standards and liberal democratic values.

The release & cover-up of Covid, which involved prominent Aus scientists (Holmes, Field, Dwyer, Wang) was a provocative & inflammatory action that was contrary to community standards & liberal democratic values - but somehow i don't think they're talking about that. In fact they're talking about the 'conspiracy theorists' who dared to expose it & feel aggrieved by this socio-political issue.

Instead we're meant to find common ground - which means 'shut-up' & fall into line with the greatest fraud the world has ever known.

Mike Burgess, Aus's ASIO chief, now identifies domestic unrest as Australia's "principal security concern", above espionage and foreign interference. So forget about a cyber-attack from China, the Covid cover-up, or the insidious infiltration of CCP actors into every branch of Aus power, including ASIO, the real threat is the discontent that might arise from that.

Burgess: This includes violent protest, riot, or an attack on a politician or our democratic institutions.
