Australia’s National Terrorism Threat Level has been raised to PROBABLE.More Australians are being radicalised, and radicalised quickly. They are embracing a more diverse range of extreme ideologies. Anti-authority beliefs are growing; trust in institutions is eroding; provocative and inflammatory behaviours are being normalised.While you should be more vigilant, you should also have confidence to go about your life – for most of us the change in threat level will have no practical impact.Australia’s law enforcement and security agencies are among the best in the world and continue to do everything within their powers to keep the community safe.You can continue to provide valuable information to assist security and law enforcement agencies identify potential threats and prevent them from developing. If it doesn’t add up, speak up, by calling the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. For more information on the threat level, visit https://lnkd.in/enfwe9X

To write its report, the Multicultural Framework Review Panel travelled the length and breadth of the country. It listened to Australian voices in schools, sports and service clubs, places of worship, the arts, culture and business.To reach as many people as possible, the Panel published messages about the Multicultural Framework Review in 35 community languages and received 126 submissions – nearly a sixth of the total received – in languages other than English.Among many important insights, the Review notes the vital role of education, English language learning and effective translation services to support all Australians to enjoy the benefits of this country.Now, a summary of the Multicultural Framework Review report is also available in 33 languages, in addition to English.This is just one way the Australian Government is already taking action to improve inclusion and invest in multicultural communities, informed by the Review.
