Anti-radicalisation fund in Vic budget

The Victorian budget will include money for dealing with increasing radicalisation, according to Premier Daniel Andrews.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has promised the upcoming state budget will include money for dealing with youth radicalisation.

The government will put a "substantial" sum aside in the May 5 state budget to get the state's youth to help them understand youth radicalisation, he says.

"I think we've got to re-engage with a much younger group of people who we can enlist to be positive role models," Mr Andrew told reporters on Saturday after the Anzac Day dawn service, where police tripled their presence in the wake of a foiled terror plot.
