There’s a greater than 50 per cent chance that there will be a terrorist attack – or a planned attack – in Australia in the next year.That’s the reality behind the head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation’s recent decision to upgrade the nation’s terror threat level to “probable”.So the need for all states and territories to be working on a united strategy with the federal government to prevent terrorist attacks is greater than ever.But that’s not what’s happening. The states and territories have taken the unprecedented step of abandoning the Albanese government’s planned counter-terrorism strategy, in favour of figuring it out themselves.Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis, on why the national strategy on counterterrorism has collapsed – and what it means for our safety.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason KoutsoukisSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
