Spy boss says 'fair go for all' can help lower security temperature | ABC NEWS

Australia's domestic spy chief, Mike Burgess, has defended the agency's resourcing decisions in the years leading up to the Bondi terror attack, arguing his agency is grappling with an "unprecedented" volume of threats.

In his annual threat assessment, Mr Burgess reveals the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) has foiled 31 major terrorism plots since 2014.

And he says 14 "significant terror-related cases" have been resolved since the Bondi terror attack.

ASIO is facing an "unprecedented" level of threats, Mr Burgess says, and Australia's terror threat level of "probable" does not capture the risks being faced.
