00:00Australia's security intelligence organization has lifted the country's terror threat level
00:05amid heightened tensions over the war in Gaza.
00:09The agency says the chances of a violent extremist act are now more likely, with its director
00:14saying more Australians are being radicalized.
00:17ASIO says it has intervened in eight potential terror-related incidents in the last four
00:23months.
00:24Australia's Prime Minister Antony Albanese says officials will remain on alert while
00:29the threat level is raised.
00:31I want to reassure Australians, probable does not mean inevitable and it does not mean there
00:38is intelligence about an imminent threat or danger.
00:42But the advice that we've received is that more Australians are embracing a more diverse
00:47range of extreme ideologies and it is our responsibility to be vigilant.
