Three out of four Australians believe a large-scale terror attack is likely on their shores and one in four believe it's inevitable, the latest Newspoll shows.
The poll, taken at the weekend for The Australian, also shows that two thirds of Australians believe the Muslim community is not doing enough to condemn terrorist acts.
But it's found people are divided on whether Australia should commit ground troops in Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic State group, which has claimed responsibility for the terror attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
The poll of 1573 people found 76% believe it is likely, very likely or inevitable that a large-scale terrorist attack will be carried out in Australia.
Just 1% believe it will never happen while 24% consider it inevitable.
On committing ground troops to fight IS, Newspoll found 42% in favour, 45% opposed and 13% uncommitted.
