The Federal Government is putting 18 million dollars into a program designed to provide safety and security for schools at risk of attacks stemming from racial or religious intolerance.
The Schools Security Program, extending a previous program, will fund C-C-T-V cameras, improved lighting, new fences and security guards at certain schools.
It comes amid parliament's expected passage of new data-retention laws and Prime Minister Tony Abbott's condemning of what he called "hate preachers" and "Islamist fanatics."
