Summary A recent government review of Australia's counterterrorism machinery found that our terrorism-related metrics, including numbers of known foreign fighters, sympathisers, supporters and serious investigations, are worsening. Our (usually classified) terrorism threat level and (public) alert level were both raised to 'high' in September 2014. This was the first time that the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) made the threat level public and raised it to high: we'd been on medium level for 13 years. There was some confusion about how the public was supposed to react to the raised alert level, and about the role that terrorism advisories play in our counterterrorism machinery
