The Australian government has raised the country’s terrorism threat level from “possible” to “probable”, reversing a change made nearly two years ago.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, made the announcement in Canberra on Monday.
Intelligence sources said the decision to raise the threat level was not triggered by any single issue or ideology, but noted an overall increase in polarisation in Australia and other western countries.
The sources said social cohesion was under strain and Covid-era grievances were being exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas conflict.

And who is responsible for this polarisation? Western media!
Honestly? A handful of rich Americans are largely to blame.

and Rupert Murdoch.
Where else do people in western countries get their information from?
and Rupert Murdoch.
How is that any different to what they already said?
He’s from Australia.
He’s American, literally. Doesn’t matter where he’s from, old mates comment stands.

In 1981, Murdoch bought The Times, his first British broadsheet, and, in 1985, became a naturalized US citizen, giving up his Australian citizenship, to satisfy the legal requirement for US television network ownership.
I consider the colonial parts of AUS & NZ to be just as much “the West”. We’re all the same monoculture anglosphere besides minor surface differences.
“Minor” surface differences? Some of us call them parmas, and others parmis. That runs deep.
May these two vastly different peoples leave peacefully among each other.

But he’s also American isn’t he?
Yes, he gave up official ‘daily daft dingo’ status in '85 so he could own american television networks
You know there are good public funded broadcasters in most of “western media” too, right?
I mean…Rupert is an Aussie, so it’s a…joint venture…🙄

Takes me back to the Bush days of “threat level Orange.” Hopefully this is as meaningless as that was.
