Terrorism Act | Terrorism Law

'Terrorism' is an extremely complex and ever-expanding area of criminal law that requires the services of criminal lawyers who possess specialised knowledge and experience in the field.

To properly deal with 'terrorism' charges, the criminal lawyer must be familiar with the content and practice of a web of relevant legislation.

Terrorism Charge Legislation

Terrorism Legislation has a significant part of the Criminal Code Act (Cwth) is dedicated to 'terrorism' - with offences such as: 'committing a terrorism act' (imprisonment for life), 'preparing for or planning a terrorism act' (imprisonment for life), 'providing or receiving training connected with terrorism act (25 years), 'possessing things connected with terrorism act' (15 years), 'collecting or making documents connected with terrorism act' (15 years) and hundreds of other provisions.

There are over a dozen other pieces of legislation that affect the area, including the Anti Terrorism Act (Cwth) which also contains several hundred provisions.

These Acts are constantly expanding and it is vitally important for persons suspected of 'terrorism' to engage criminal lawyers that understand and can properly advise, represent and protect the person's rights according to legislation.

Unfortunately, the law prevents disclosure by lawyers (or anyone else) of specific 'terrorism' cases.

In fact, persons (including lawyers) can be imprisoned for up to 5 years for disclosing such information.

Equally, persons arrested on suspicion of 'terrorism' and later released can be prosecuted for speaking about their unfair arrest!
