Australia acted against Iran after ASIO found Tehran orchestrated two antisemitic arson attacks on Australian soil – expelling Iran’s ambassador and moving to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

For Kylie Moore-Gilbert, it’s a long time coming.

She spent 804 days imprisoned under IRGC control after being arrested in Tehran on espionage charges.

Today, she explains who the IRGC is, why it would attack Australia, and what this listing would actually change.

As the country tries to understand how a Hanukkah gathering in Bondi ended with 15 people dead, more details about the alleged shooters have come to light.

Authorities say the attack was inspired by Islamic State. The two gunmen had recently travelled to the Philippines for military-style training. The surviving gunman, now in custody, had been known to ASIO since 2019.

And yet the attack still went ahead, raising fresh questions about the limits of Australia’s counter-terrorism systems – and how hard it is to detect and stop lone-actor violence before it happens.

Today, Chair in Global Islamic Politics at Deakin University, Professor Greg Barton, on how a mass attack like this can still happen in Australia, even when intelligence agencies are on high alert.

Donald Trump has promised to deport a million people in his first year back in office.

As a result, immigration officers are conducting widespread raids across the country – often targeting and locking up American citizens.

The Trump administration says nearly 70 percent of the people Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested are criminals. But ICE’s own data shows the overwhelming majority have no criminal conviction at all.

Today, reporter at ProPublica Nicole Foy, on how Trump’s immigration crackdown is changing America – and how ordinary civilians are fighting back.
