    In that submission made they had a few other request as well.

    The submission also criticised the national laws designed to impose control orders on terrorism suspects as young as 14, The Herald Sun reports.

    Instead, the council wants taxpayers to fund counselling for Muslim parents and children affected by the orders.

    “(The laws) can have a dampening effect on the freedom of religion for Muslim Victorians,” the submission to the inquiry reads.
    “This will acknowledge the risks to mental health, employment, rental housing, poverty and education as a result of any unforeseen consequences of legislation which disproportionately affects Muslim youth.”

    According to The Herald Sun, since 2001 the council has received millions of dollars in funding for its programs.  Funds reportedly include a $850,000 youth officer grant over four years and a $550,000 for an empower youth program.
