The federal government has called on Muslim groups to help develop counter-terrorism programs for disengaged youth, warning it cannot act alone to prevent violent extremism in Australia.
Flagging the need to reset the agenda on community efforts to target radicalisation, Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs Concetta Fierravanti-Wells has also called for Muslim Australia to "own the solutions" for preventing young people turning to terrorism. 
The warning came as she said a six-month consultation process with community groups would not lead to any recommended changes to a proposed law to strip dual-national terrorists of their Australian citizenship.
"We have to work with the communities; we cannot be in the homes, we cannot be in the schools, government cannot do this alone. They have to do this in partnership with those communities," she said.
"But those communities need to be willing partners in not just talking about the problem, but also in actively engaging in terms of developing programs and processes where they can assist." The warning came after police in Sydney's west arrested a student from Arthur Phillip High School - the school attended by the teenager who killed a police officer on Friday.
Asked if government should take a harder line on Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, linked to Friday's shooting, the senator said laws banning the incitement of terrorism existed. "That is a matter for the appropriate authorities to consider their actions in light of existing provisions in the foreign fighters legislation," she said.
"It is important in a society like ours that we do have free speech, but advocating terrorism should not be part of free speech." She said marginalised youth were being lured to Islamic State by guns, drugs and women. However, there were "no excuses" for disenfranchised youth joining the movement.
"They do want to go over and rape, plunder and pillage - that is why they are going," she said.
"They are being induced to go over â€¦ with promises of AK-49s, drugs and women. I have heard that directly from people who have had dialogue with these young people."Following consultations with ethnic groups on citizenship changes, the senator said that a report to government would not recommend any changes beyond those last month of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security.
