PM's blunt warning on Jama: don't fight

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has issued yet another blunt warning to Australian foreign fighters following the reported death of Sharky Jama.

"You are a danger to others, you are a danger to yourself. Don't do it," he told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.

The prime minister said the government was tackling violent extremism in a range of ways but it was happy to work with the Somali community to ensure others weren't lured to the Islamic State "death cult".
