Yes, indeed I can, Senator Lindgren. It was very important to us that there not merely be the expression of worthy sentiments, but that there should be tangible outcomes—and there were. Ahead of the UN General Assembly's meeting in September of this year, the summit resolved on certain practical measures, including developing a regional network of civil society groups to foster partnerships; better use of national and regional leaders to reach target audiences; a regional guide for government and civil society on effective engagement with the private sector; a regional best practice guide to develop responses to inhibit the dissemination of terrorist propaganda; a compendium of regional counter-narratives to amplify effective messages to counter the terrorist narrative; and enhancement of our respective communities' capacities to challenge terrorist propaganda. This is a partnership among the nations in the region, which Australia is leading.
