Police are closely investigating a deliberate fire at a defence company. Authorities describe it as a possible far-left terror attack, saying the incident may have been motivated by anarchist and revolutionary ideology.
This is the first such investigation of its kind in Australia. The incident raises security concerns across the defence sector, and officials continue to treat such politically motivated violence very seriously.
It remains unclear when investigators will announce their findings. No arrests have been made yet as the suspect search continues, and calls to boost security at similar facilities may follow soon.
