Australia's spy agency will call for more help from technology companies in investigating 'vile propaganda' on their messaging apps.

Australia's domestic spy agency says it is investigating a number of nationalists and "racist extremists" who are discussing how to provoke a "race war" and sharing tips for making homemade weapons on encrypted messaging apps.

" ASIO would expend significant resources to monitor those Australians involved, Burgess will say. "Having lawful and targeted access to extremist communications would be much more effective and efficient. It would give us real time visibility of their activities." Burgess said technology should not be above the law, and companies should help authorities uphold existing laws.
