Counterterrorism

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the government drafted legislation requiring a bail authority to take into account an accused person's links with terrorist organisations or violent extremism when considering a bail application as per the review referred to?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:32): I will have to actually check where we are up to. There are a number of matters pertinent to the question of terrorism and these things are moving at a fairly rapid pace.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for the second and the final time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: People may not be surprised, I hope, to realise that since the outrage that occurred in Paris not so long ago there has been quite a bit of activity in this space around the country and there have been various moves made both at a national level and elsewhere. As to whether the particular matter that is referred to in the question is the subject of an existing draft, I will need to check.
