Why rising terror threat levels could render the Bondi royal commission useless
The first report from the royal commission into antisemitism has landed at a volatile moment.
Australia’s terrorism threat level is already listed as probable, and the war in Iran is adding pressure to an already fragile security environment that risks fuelling grievances, inflaming extremism, and increasing the risk facing Jewish communities following the Bondi terror attack.
But the interim report leaves some of the hardest questions for later, including whether warnings before the attack were properly acted on and whether security agencies were on the same page when it came to identifying the threat.
Today, counter-terrorism expert Greg Barton discusses what the report reveals, and why the threat facing Australia may be growing faster than the systems built to stop it.
