Summary

Revises Australia’s counter-terrorism framework by amending the:

Criminal Code Act 1995
to insert a new offence relating to association with a terrorist organisation;
Transfer of Prisoners Act 1983
to provide for the transfer of prisoners between State and Territory prisons for security reasons; and
Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977
to make decisions of the Attorney-General made on security grounds exempt from the application of the Act. Also contains an application provision.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
