successful model from Indonesia and is designed to undermine
extremist ideology and support mainstream Islamic voices.

across a spectrum of activities. Other supporting activities
include continued discussions for the provision of Australian
counter-insurgency advisors, and enhanced defense cooperation
through broad-based training in Australia for the Pakistani
