National terrorism threat “probable”

The report reflects that the national terrorism threat remains to be “probable”. Australia faces regular threats inspired by individuals. The report said that “the principal source of the terrorist threat remains Sunni Islamist extremism and emanates primarily from small groups and individuals inspired, directed or encouraged by extremist groups overseas”. The report says that in order to execute successful attacks, the target groups remain to be crowded and public places. It also said that “Any future extreme rightwing-inspired attack in Australia would most likely be low capability and conducted by a lone actor or small group, although a sophisticated weapons attack is possible.”
