So what would more effective counter-extremism measures look like?

You mentioned that the report recommends a full-time counterterrorism coordinator.

What does that role do and what difference could that make?

One of the recommendations is a review into counterterrorism teams and how they integrate and share information.

How important is that and what do you think the review needs to cover?

Coming up, is the Royal Commission moving too slowly in a time of war?

If we pull out a bit, Greg, we're about to go into two weeks of hearings about anti-Semitism.

Is there a chance that Islamic State could exploit this Royal Commission?

Could it actually give it more material to try and recruit Australians to its cause?

Do you think, given the current political environment, that we're mature enough to have this conversation, Greg?

Commissioner Bell says key questions, including whether there was a failure to identify an act on intelligence before the attack and whether police resources for the Hunnicare event were adequate, will be dealt with later in hearings.

Is there a risk that those issues won't be dealt with quickly enough, though, if we're waiting until the end of the year for the Royal Commission report to be handed down?

And how much more complicated is the war in Iran making things in terms of responding to potential security threats here at home?

Greg, thanks so much for joining us again.

Thanks very much.

Also in the news...

Riots have erupted in Alice Springs after the arrest of accused child killer Jefferson Lewis.

Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the angry crowd of 400 protesters who gathered at Alice Springs Hospital where Lewis was being held, trying to get to him as they demanded payback.

Lewis was arrested last night for the alleged murder of a five-year-old girl whose family have asked to be referred to as Coming Jai Little Baby.

And Mark Latham has been ordered to pay fellow New South Wales MP Alex Greenidge $100,000 in compensation.
