Unlike in 2014 when it was last raised to “probable” in response to ISIS, the new threat comes from various fringe elements of society, fuelled by anti-government conspiratorial thinking, frustration with the public health response to COVID-19, and exacerbated by tensions around the war in Gaza.

ASIO raises terrorism threat level due to emerging ‘twisted’ ideologies
The spy agency has raised the national threat level to “probable” after eight recent alleged terrorist incidents in Australia and difficult-to-define ideological threats.www.smh.com.au
The world is a virtual tinderbox right nowThey can't be serious on that covid-19 stuff surely. That issue is dead and buried I would have thought as a likely cause of violent outbreaks and the few cookers, mainly in Qld and Vic, still parading around as sovereign cits are focussed on other things.
The Middle East tensions and the likelihood of violent response from, in particular, Western Sydney hot spots are surely the main issue of concern now that have raised threat levels.
Who?David Speirs has "resigned" as SA Lib leader.
Who?
The SA Libs only ever win when they have a moderate for a leader. When they do, the conservative wing starts undermining them trying to get more power, that people don't want them to have. Lose power, waste 2 or 3 terms in-fighting, eventually get a leader to finally get them back in power, then rinse and repeat.The guy Vincent Tarzia has now replaced.
SA Libs are the strangest group of people ever.
It's like they get together and discuss How can we make a bad situation worse?
Every now and then they fluke a good decision for them and work like maniacs to undo it.
Or Labor stuff something up monumentally and you think they will be out in the wilderness for generations, then after one term, they're back.

SA has the reputation of living 30 - 50 years behind other states, but the SA lib right wing keeps confusing that with it's somehow like a deep Red US state. The cycle will continue, unless the right wing of the Libs accepts they won't ever get the whip hand and then win a subsequent election.
The Mali led govt has been an abject failure with respect to their election campaign which would be in large part to fix the health system and in particular, ramping.
However, he has also been a fresh voice and a leader that many have easily been able to get behind. He has tapped into the old "SA the Festival State" number plate slogan from the 90s bringing the Adelaide 500 back, winning the bid for Gather Round etc.
People will forgive the govt on health because they've got a lot of the other stuff right. And I'm not sure that the public will be receptive to a party spruiking health as the primary policy of any election campaign when they have been hammered from pillar to post with public messaging re covid.
Not making excuses for him, but is there a state in Australia where the health system isn't cactus?
It's buggered pretty much everywhere. But it's also the responsibility of the state as opposed to a federal issue, so can't be handballed to the feds like they can (and do) on a myriad of other issues.
There aren't any excuses to be had - especially when it's gotten worse to the point of record ramping levels etc.
The irony is the Ambos union will no doubt endorse Labor at the next state election despite the health system getting worse during their tenure in power to date.
I really enjoyed listening to Jules and Sonya in Paris. Was good value seen as ABC is the top rated breakfast show in Adelaide.
Couldn't care either way to be honest.I really enjoyed listening to Jules and Sonya in Paris. Was good value seen as ABC is the top rated breakfast show in Adelaide.
LOL - the same Channel Nine who, along with other commercial TV broadcasters, has convinced the Federal Government that they will go broke if a ban on TV gambling advertising is introduced?Channel Nine sent a team of over 100 employees to Paris for the games and set up its own studios in Paris, and the taxpayer paid nothing. Channel Nine paid for everything,
Nah that’s what the abc is for, broadcast things of interest without the Harvey Norman ads. Did channel 9 do a radio show did they? Either way channel 9’s broadcast was ****ing shit.That’s good, but not at the expense of the taxpayer. Channel Nine sent a team of over 100 employees to Paris for the games and set up its own studios in Paris, and the taxpayer paid nothing. Channel Nine paid for everything, unlike the ABC, which sent four people: these two dimbats (being the hosts), a producer, and another employee. The $135k was spent on flights, accommodation, hospitality, equipment, transport, and broadcasting costs. Gee wiz, we are breaking backs with work, uni, or doing both, and these muppets are drinking Moët, sleeping in 5-star hotels, and tanning themselves in the hot sun in France, while the rest of us back home can’t afford to do the simple things in life. Yeah, not a good look.
Man, that 135k has really set us back on the inflation fight.
The worst thing about the perpetual idiocy and incompetence of the SA Liberals is that it leaves the SA Labor Party unchecked to do what it wants without proper Parliamentary scrutiny. And in my view that is a the worst thing for our local democracy.The guy Vincent Tarzia has now replaced.
