This document discusses the growing threat of ISIS and how it has become directly connected to threats in Australia. It notes that ISIS has been urging supporters around the world to attack enemies wherever they are through its online magazines. Australian intelligence agencies have intercepted communications showing the connection between foreign fighters traveling to Syria and Iraq and homegrown extremism in Australia. The raising of the terror threat level and recent counter-terrorism raids in Australia reflect this increased threat from both foreign fighters and lone actors being inspired by groups like ISIS. To address the threat, the document argues that military and police responses alone are not enough and that a broader community effort is needed.
