Families 'crucial' in stopping radicalisationUpdated: 1:53 pm, Sunday, 4 October 2015
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says families are key to helping prevent the radicalisation of youths after the fatal shooting of a police worker in Sydney.
'When a 15-year-old boy can be so radicalised that he can carry out a politically motivated killing or an act of terrorism, then it's a time for the whole nation to take stock,' she told ABC television on Sunday.
The minister believes families will be crucial in a defence strategy against radicalised youth.
She said a holistic approach must be taken to include families and Muslim community representatives.
Islamic leaders were part of a phone hook-up with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, NSW Premier Mike Baird, federal and NSW police on Saturday.
'It's the families that will be our frontline of defence against radicalised young people, so we will be working very closely with them,' Ms Bishop said.
'No one level of government or no one section of community can do it all alone.'
