"There are a number of things we need to do to deal with this," she told Sky News. "(One) is taking more action and tougher action on those people who do use the internet, who are putting terrorist material, extremist material on the internet.

"In the future we'll be making it an offence to stream or browse that material and we're going to be increasing the sentence so that it could last to a sentence of up to 15 years."
