Counter-terror expert Greg Barton says “when the director-general of ASIO specifically identifies right wing extremism as a threat, we have got to recognise that there is a lot of careful analysis and thought behind that”. In a rare speech, ASIO boss Mike Burgess sounded the alarm over the rise of right-wing extremism in Australia. Mr Barton told Sky News ASIO was “dealing with twice the level of terror cases as they were a year ago” and “part of that is probably right-wing extremism”. “They were paying attention to this years before” the Christchurch massacre which involved an Australian terrorist, but the attack “really brought home the immediate nature of the threat” he said. “We need to get ahead of the problem and work upstream and try to prevent the recruitment process. “We need to be there in the lives of mainly young people who are being targeted by recruiters.” Image: Getty
