Reported at www.themandarin.com.au: The federal government has launched the ‘A safer Australia’ strategy, allocating $106.2 million over four years to combat violent extremism through preventive initiatives.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke emphasized a ‘whole of society’ approach to address the root causes of violent extremism and support the reintegration of radicalized individuals.

A new national support program called Step Together will provide assistance to families concerned about radicalisation.
