In short:

ASIO has foiled plots by hostile foreign nations to assassinate or harm critics in Australia.

The spy agency's boss also expressed fears in his annual threat assessment that antisemitic attacks had not yet "plateaued".

What's next?

Diplomatic offices are being warned not to meddle in the coming federal election.

For the first time, the ASIO boss has also declassified parts of his organisation's most recent "futures assessment" that outlines threats out to 2030, and that he describes as "an uncomfortable assessment".
