Post-sentence terrorism legislation under review

Parliament of Australia < 1 min read

The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) will hold a public hearing for its Review of post-sentence terrorism orders: Division 105A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Criminal Code) this week.

Government and non-government representatives will discuss post-sentence terrorism orders, including continuing detention orders and extended supervision orders.

The PJCIS statutory review follows the publication of a Review into Division 105A (and related provisions) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) by the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor (INSLM), Mr Grant Donaldson, in March 2023.

Committee Chair, Mr Peter Khalil MP, said ‘The Committee has received mixed evidence regarding the operation and implications of post-sentence orders. We look forward to hearing about the effectiveness of post-sentence orders – and whether they are necessary, proportionate and operating as intended.’

Further information on the inquiry can be obtained from the Committee’s website.

The Committee’s website has a full program for the hearing, and the hearing will be broadcast live at aph.gov.au/live.
