Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has asked his top counter-terrorism adviser to investigate what drives lone wolves, warning an attack is probable.


Malcolm Turnbull says authorities will have to rethink the design of places where large numbers of Australians gather in light of the Nice terror attack.

The Prime Minister has asked his top counter-terrorism adviser for ideas on how to prevent lone wolf attacks.

He wants Greg Moriarty to examine the recent attack in Nice and the background of the Sydney Lindt cafe siege to see if there are lessons for Australia to learn.

Mr Turnbull believes the inquiry should include looking at situations when people congregate, as happened when a Tunisian man drove a truck through a Bastille Day crowd in the French Riviera city, killing more than 80 people.

Agencies will be asked to take a fresh look at their terrorist investigation watchlists to see if there are connections with mental health concerns or a history of crime.
