Security threats focus of Australian foreign minister's visitCameron Spencer/Getty Images Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop - the foreign fighter threat was among issues she discussed with John Key and Murray McCully in Auckland this weekend. Bishop told Stuff Australia had stepped up its support for police and the intelligence and security agencies in response to the threat. Former Australian army chief Peter Leahy told the Sydney Morning Herald security agencies would be on "high alert' now as IS crumbles. So our security agencies are going to have to be on high alert," Leahy said. Our security intelligence and law enforcement agencies work exceedingly closely together to ensure we know [who is] coming into our countries."
