Australians urged to be vigilant to Christmas terrorism threat

You can't blame Australians for wanting to party hard this holiday season, to get back to the beach, get back to the shops, to gather in groups and not have to worry too much about social-distancing.
But there's a timely warning that as we return to some kind of normal, we should not forget the threat of terrorism, which remains as dangerous as ever.
The deputy chair of the federal parliamentary intelligence committee, Anthony Byrne, says those who want to do us harm are likely to take advantage of any complacency over Christmas to inflict maximum damage to the morale of society as we come out of the pandemic.
"They have looked at places of mass congregation and thought how can they cause mass casualties," he told 9News.
But, he has warned, it's not just Islamic extremists who present a risk.
Mr Byrne says ASIO is facing an alarming spike in the number of cases involving extreme right-wing terrorism threats, similar to that involving the Christchurch attack in March last year.
"Two years ago it was 15 per cent of the caseload related to right-wing extremism, it's now 30 to 40 per cent," he said.
