Senate report on Anti-Terrorism Bill

The Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee Inquiry into the provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Bill (No. 2) 2005 has delivered its Report.

It has recommended that the Senate pass the Bill subject to 50 amendments listed in its Recommendations.

In particular the Committee recommended the deletion of Schedule 7 dealing with sedition. The recommendations also cover preventative detention and control orders.

Chapter 7 of the report deals with anti-money laundering and and terrorism financing. Whilst it noted concerns it only recommended a review in 5 years.

Recommendations 40-44 deal with the topic of "National Security Notices" discussed by me here.
