Young Australians are being targeted by Islamic State through an orchestrated campaign, says the MP appointed by Tony Abbott to help combat radicalisation.
Parliamentary secretary Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, who has responsibility for community engagement, believes that while some disenfranchised young people turn to drugs or crime, others are being radicalised.
"We are seeing a very carefully orchestrated program by Daesh (IS) and its supporters in Australia and online ... targeting young people who may be at the margins," she told ABC radio on Friday, stressing the importance of working with people closest to them.
