Australia | Malcolm Roberts Calls Radical Islam an ‘Existential Threat’ to Australia

Senator Malcolm Roberts has delivered a fiery Senate speech attacking proposed changes to Australia's intelligence laws, arguing that “radical Islam” should be explicitly named as a threat in the ASIO legislation. Roberts said Islamic extremism represents a major terrorism threat and called for the deportation of what he described as 230 terrorists currently in Australia, while also attacking the government's approach to immigration and national security. He criticised the proposed ASIO powers as giving government agencies greater control over Australians and welcomed the restoration of a sunset provision in the legislation as a safeguard for civil liberties. Roberts also cited the Royal Commission's interim findings on the Bondi terrorist attack, arguing that the existing legal framework had not prevented authorities from taking action before the attack. His speech combined arguments about terrorism, immigration, intelligence powers, civil liberties and what he described as the need to protect Australian values and security. #MalcolmRoberts #ASIO #Australia #RadicalIslam #Terrorism #AustralianPolitics Subscribe to The Financial Express: https://bit.ly/2TN006o Welcome to The Financial Express, your trusted source for world affairs, geopolitics, business news, global economy updates, and market insights.
