Indonesian terrorism funding from Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

New reports state money thought to be financing terrorism is flowing into Indonesia from Australia<\/a>. The deputy head of Indonesia\u2019s Financial Transactions and Analysis Centre (PPTAK), Agus Santoso, stated that the funds were being directed to a variety of organisations, and that Indonesia was working closely with Austrac to trace the funds.<\/p>\n

Austrac has been working with partners to counter this issue, citing the serious threat it poses to Australian at home and abroad. This 2014 report<\/a> outlines Austrac\u2019s counterterrorism financing framework and activities, both domestically and overseas.<\/p>\n

New report on \u2018ice\u2019 use<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the hit TV show Breaking Bad<\/em> has shaped popular views of methamphetamine production, a new report by the Australian Crime Commission<\/a> provides a clear insight into the Australian market for this drug. They note changes in the market since 2010, especially in increases \u00a0in the volume of the drug and its precursors that are imported from overseas.<\/p>\n

The ACC also identifies that Australians are willing to pay far more for this drug than others. For instance, a gram of ice in China costs US$80, but it fetches US$500 here. They also detail some of the ways serious crime gangs are \u2018marketing\u2019 their drug to find new users. Justice Minister Michael Keenan has supported the ACC\u2019s findings, describing ice as the biggest drug problem facing Australian police<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cybercrime to cost US$400 billion per year<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new report claims cybercrime is set to cost the global economy upwards of US$400 billion<\/a> per year, with only 16% of IT professionals in the financial sector feeling adequately prepared to fend off intrusions.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the report\u2019s authors describe people\u2014 not technology\u2014as the weakest link in safeguarding against cybercrime. For all the resources and technology poured into defending information from cyberattacks, it only takes one instance of human error to compromise protection. The report also refers to the increasing relationship between cybercrime and organised crime, an issue we\u2019ve discussed previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Witness in Alexander Litvinenko poisoning inquiry<\/strong><\/p>\n

In our recent update<\/a> on the inquiry into Russian KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko\u2019s poisoning, we mentioned that Russia had refused to extradite the two suspect in the case to London. However lawyers have now told the hearing that Dmitri Kovtun is \u2018willing to participate\u2019<\/a> in the proceedings. Both Scotland Yard and the inquiry chairman have expressed concerns over what this unexpected development may mean. The inquiry will resume on 30 March.<\/p>\n

Offbeat<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its recent report on extremism amongst young Muslims in Sydney, the Daily Telegraph<\/em> let a pun\u2014which may have seemed amusing in the drafting process\u2014make it to print<\/a>. It\u2019s certainly not the first time the Australian print media have let seemingly obvious errors reach the printers<\/a>. Still, it\u2019s important we recognise and respect youth workers working with at-risk young people as they are often on the front line of dealing with radicalised individuals.

Coming up<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Senate this week began debating contentions metadata laws<\/a>, with the government yet to reveal the costs of mandatory metadata retention. Debate is set to continue today before going to a vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
