| How Does it End? Reflections on Completed Prosecutions under Australia’s Anti‑Terrorism Legislation (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Chapter 13 of "Fresh Perspectives on the ‘War on Terror’". Much has been written, both in this collection of essays and elsewhere, about the overbreadth of the terrorism offences contained in Part 5.3 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (‘Criminal Code’). Likewise, the unwieldy nature and conceptual complexity of the definition of ‘terrorist act’ upon which most of the terrorism offences depend has received significant criticism. Whilst academic commentary based on the text of both the offences and the definition has abounded, given the few actual prosecutions in this country, there has necessarily been less scrutiny of how those offences have been dealt with in specific cases. | |||||||||||||||
