Counterterrorism

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the Attorney now drafted recommended changes to the Bail Act, requiring a bail authority to take into account an accused person's links with terrorist organisations or violent extremism when considering an application, particularly when he was asked this question on 2 December 2015 and he said he would need to check, quote, 'I will rapidly get an answer.'

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:53): Well, 'rapid' is a relative term—relative to the speed of the passage of the planning bill, for example, through another place, I am still on the rapid side of that question, but I will pursue it again.
