What Price Security?: Taking Stock of Australia's Anti-Terror Laws

Meer over het boek

Examining the intricacies of Australia's anti-terrorism laws, the authors delineate what constitutes terrorism, the powers of intelligence agencies, and the implications of control orders and preventative detention. They address the legal ramifications of sedition and the alterations to judicial processes for terrorism cases. Through their analysis, Lynch and Williams contend that the balance between security and civil rights has been compromised since September 11, urging for a cautious approach to avoid succumbing to fear in the fight against terrorism.
