The briefing comes after a terror attack at the Parson Green Tube station in London in September, where a partially-detonated bomb injured 30 people. 

The United Kingdom’s Metropolitan police said research showed young people thought filming the incident would provide evidence.

Australian authorities confirmed they were considering the information provided by the UK, which comes just days after the worst mass shooting in the United States as 59 people died in Las Vegas.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will meet with state premiers on Thursday to introduce common laws on dealing with terrorism suspects.
