Good to see the Australian security services focus increasing on the threat posed by white supremacists. They will be under intense scrutiny as they should be. Potential incitement to terror groups of all ilks need to be under constant scrutiny and our police and security services are to be applauded for ramping up scrutiny.

White supremacists living in Australia have been warned they are "on [the] radar" of authorities, and will face more scrutiny and pressure in the wake of the deadly Christchurch shootings.
Key points:
- Home Affairs boss warns white supremacists will face greater scrutiny
- White supremacy has been linked to the Christchurch mosque massacre
- Mike Pezzullo says the incident was a "horrific slaughter of Muslims at prayer"
Home Affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo made the comments while appearing before a parliamentary committee, one week after
a terrorist murdered 50 Muslims worshipping at mosques.
Mr Pezzullo said his department had "rededicated itself to standing resolutely against the extremist ideology of white supremacy and its adherence" in the wake of the attack.
