For some wider context on government measures to address so called 
radicalisation, we have our own here in Australia. 

Meet KAREN, the potential extremist who listens to alternative music and is 
passionate about environmental politics. I know it sounds like a joke but read 
on….

This was launched as a Radicalisation Awareness Kit in schools here.

It is so laughable and out of touch (like the crusty conservative politicians 
that concocted it) that the media actually had a field day sending it up, but 
it at least highlights how some in government would like to use the current 
political situation around terrorism to shut down debate about their own 
agendas.

Interesting too that KAREN implicitly locates radicalisation and violence in a 
female environmentalist.

je suis KAREN
