‘Bombshell interview’: ASIO chief’s damning antisemitism warning exposes government failure

News24 host Sharri Markson says ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess has revealed deep frustration that his urgent warnings about the deadly threat posed by antisemitism were underestimated before the Bondi massacre. “ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess, in a bombshell interview, you can hear how frustrated he is that his urgent warnings on antisemitism posing a deadly threat were underestimated by those in leadership positions before the Bondi massacre,” Ms Markson said. “He insists others in society should have listened to his public warnings about the urgency of the deadly threat posed by antisemitism. “This is precisely the reason that Albanese Government ministers should be called publicly to give evidence at the royal commission. “Terrorism and radical Islamic extremism are problems facing all of Australia, and they're problems we must confront rather than simply turn away from.”
