Australian Federal Police say 32 of the 37 youths prosecuted for counterterrorism offences since 2020 were charged in the past two years.

Two children were charged with terrorism-related offences in Darwin last week for plotting to carry out a mass casualty event.

Police are urging parents, educators, and local communities to watch for early signs of online radicalisation.

They think that a social media ban for young people will magically solve everything. It won't, it'll just make teens pissed off.

    No, they know it won’t.

    They’re just selling their policies. The current one is that the new laws, like the algorithm bill, will stop the current malevolence toward politicians.

    They’re avoiding the fix to the problems, which is working for the people.

    Almost like they have more time/frustration now or something.
