Further evidence of Islamist influence on Australian intelligence and enforcement agencies

I have previously written how Australia's intelligence agencies have come to rely on research provided by universities with links to known terrorist financiers (see http://www.terrorfinance.org/the_terror_finance_blog/2007/03/islamist_influe.html)

A recent report titled “Counter-Terrorism Policing and Culturally Diverse Communities”
commissioned by the Police Commissioner, State of Victoria ,Ms Christine Nixon, adds to the issues raised in my previous article.
The report compiles research undertaken by terrorism experts at Australia's Monash University.
As mentioned in my earlier article the University has been linked with associates of the SDGT Yassin Al-Kadi. As well it has employed in the past a research fellow who had publicly supported Osama bin Laden and his mentor Abdullah Azzam.
Not surprising then that the report’s conclusions include the following:

"The Australian Government's approach to prevention of terrorism fits with the major policy approach being applied in the United States, and is at odds with the best available knowledge on the threat of terrorism and the way that threat is best countered.....The Federal Government's tough counter-terrorism legislation, including covert surveillance and secret intelligence gathering, threatens to undermine efforts by Victorian police to build links with culturally diverse communities....."
(http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/state-and-federal-police-rift-on-terror/2007/10/14/1192300601250.html)

The research was undertaken by Monash University’s Global Terrorism Research Project .
Dr Marika Vicziany , the Monash academic named in my earlier article works closely with the centre, having published a number of works in collaboration with the centre. ( see for example http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/collections/monash-authors/2005/1876924306.html)

Recently the centre employed as a lecturer one Waleed Aly, despite his falling short of the University’s own standards for the recruitment of lecturers.
Aly is a member of the committee, the Islamic Council of Victoria( see http://www.icv.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=26)
The activities of the Islamic Council of Victoria have been funded in part by the Muslim Community Co-Operative Australia , which is led by Dr Rahim Ghouse, whose dealings with the SDGT Sheik Yassin Al-Kadi have been documented on this website (see for example www.terrorfinance.org/the_terror_finance_blog/2006/08/yassin_alkadist.html) as well as at www.abc.net.au/rn/backgroundbriefing/stories/2006/1754286.htm
