The Albanese government's long-awaited response to its special envoy's report on Islamophobia has rejected calls for an overhaul of counter-terror laws, focusing instead on a new education taskforce and expanded community liaison teams for police.The government has committed to a package of new measures across education and awareness, protection and support, social cohesion, and accountability.The response includes a review of the education curriculum to strengthen racial and religious tolerance, new multicultural grant programs and additional mental health support, especially for Muslim women.The government's response comes 10 months after special envoy to combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, released his report with 54 recommendations.Releasing the government's response in Sydney on Saturday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defended his decision not to adopt all of the recommendations."We've said it's independent advice Others we'll give further consideration to."Mr Albanese also sought to explain why he rebuffed a push to water down the importance of religion and ideology in defining terrorism in federal laws over Mr Malik's concerns they could lead to discrimination."We operate our terror laws on the basis of appropriate advice from national security agencies," Mr Albanese said."But primarily, we sit in the National Security Committee of the government and we take advice from our security agencies
