Australia upgrades UK travel advisory
Three failed terrorist attacks in London and Scotland have prompted the Australian government to upgrade its travel warnings for the UK.
The country’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) increased the UK’s threat level to the third highest on the five-scale ranking system, warning visitors to maintain a “high degree of caution”.
This puts Britain on par with Iran, Guatemala, Jordan, Rwanda and Uzbekistan in terms of the potential threat posed to Australian travellers and higher than Fiji.
The New Zealand government’s travel advsiory has not been raised but is advising people to note Britain’s “critical” security alert level.
DFAT said British authorities had increased the country’s threat level to “critical”, meaning a terrorist attack is imminent.
The advisory said: “Levels of policing in London have been increased, and authorities are urging the public to remain alert at all times. UK authorities have reviewed security at Heathrow and other major airports and have introduced enhanced security measures.
“We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety because of the high risk of terrorist attack.”
