PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has confirmed Australia would not increase the current terror alert level at home from "high" in the wake of the Paris massacre.
Speaking in Berlin yesterday, Mr Turnbull said the current advice from security agencies was that it would only be increased to "extreme" in the event agencies had information an attack on home soil was imminent or had occured. 
The current terror alert level indicates that "a terror attack is likely" in Australia and has been at that level since   September last year.
Declaring the horrific massacre, the "work of the devil", Mr Turnbull said Australia stood in solidarity with France.
"Yet again we have seen a shocking terrorist attack in Paris. France, the home of freedom, has been assaulted by terrorists determined to attack and suppress freedom not just in France but throughout the world," he said.
"This is an attack, as President Obama has said, on all humanity. On behalf of the Australian people, I extend our deep sympathy to the people of France." The Prime Minister confirmed he had held talks with spy agency ASIO, the Federal Police and the Foreign Minister, the Attorney-General and the Justice Minister.
"The advice I have from the Federal Police and from ASIO is that the alert level remains as it has been since   September last year. The security agencies do not believe that there is any evidence at the moment to justify any increase in that alert level. So we should be reassured by that," he said.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the "thoughts and prayers of all Queenslanders" went out to those affected.
She also moved to reassure Queenslanders there was no specific threat to the state at this time.
"I have been advised that the terror alert level in Queensland - particularly for our police - remains at high as it was previous to this harrowing news," she said.
"Detectives and intelligence officers are continuing to conduct threat assessments around the clock in conjunction with their interstate, federal and international counterparts." Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg expressed his shock over the attacks on Twitter.
"We feel at one with the people of France," he said.Brisbane's iconic Story Bridge and the City Hall were lit up in red, white and blue last night in a show of solidarity with France.
