Police Probe Melbourne Arson As Possible Far-left Terror

Australian authorities are investigating an arson attack on a Melbourne defence manufacturer as a potential act of far-left terrorism, marking the first time they have probed such a case.

The Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team, comprising Victoria Police, the Australian Federal Police, and ASIO, released new images of suspects in the July attack on Lovitt Industries, where three vehicles were set alight and a building was graffitied. A video claiming responsibility linked the incident to the Israel-Gaza conflict, threatening to "stop arming Israel or else" and alleging the company l said police were focused on identifying the alleged offenders. Detective Superintendent Anthony Hall said police were focused on identifying the alleged offenders.

ASIO Director General Mike Burgess noted a troubling rise in anarchist and revolutionary extremism since October 2023, including arson and vandalism against defence firms. The investigation follows a US summit hosted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio on countering far-left terror, though a government source said Australia's assessment was independent.
