| A new federal government website designed to counter terrorism has been launched by federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland.
The Resilient Communities site is an online portal to a range of government resources designed to build what Mr McClelland has long described as "resilience" to radicalism and the possibility of a terrorist attack on home soil.
"We know that to effectively challenge violent extremism, community leadership is essential and needs to be driven by local knowledge and experience," he said in a statement on Friday. |
