Review of post-sentence terrorism orders, provided for in Division 105A of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Criminal Code).

This is a joint submission with NSW Council for Civil Liberties.

Liberty Victoria and NSW Council for Civil Liberties acknowledge the importance of protecting the community from acts of terrorism. Terrorism and the threat of terrorism violate the rights to life and security of innocent people. Terrorism is regarded as a crime apart from others as it threatens the very fabric of liberal democracy by utilising violence and fear to further, often fundamentally illiberal, political, religious or ideological goals.
