Aussie Anti-Terrorism Website

The Australian government has launched a website to fight terrorism through community resilience to violent extremism. It's not clear how anti-terror resilience is supposed to work.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland announced funding of $1.7 million under the Building Community Resilience Grants Program.

The Resilient Communities website details the program.

Although the site was launched on Friday, it contains a blog from Prime Minister Julia Gillard written last month.

"The Resilient Communities website is an important tool in our country's quest to build a more inclusive and resilient Australia," Ms Gillard wrote.

Hardline Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir is outraged by the site and what it calls a "deeply flawed counter-terrorism policy".

I'd speculate the website is designed to function as a central clearinghouse for gathering and disseminating terrorism-related information and somehow community resilience is achieved.

However, since it's a government resilience effort (?) the effectiveness will likely need help.
