Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does:

These regulations officially list Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT)—a militant group based in Pakistan—as a terrorist organisation under Australian law.

What this means in practice: Once listed, it becomes a serious criminal offense under the Criminal Code to:

Be a member of LeT
Directly or indirectly provide money, assets, or services to them
Receive training from them, or recruit others to join them

The names covered: The regulation recognises that the group operates under different names. The ban also applies to anyone using these aliases:

Lashkar-e-Toiba
Lashkar-e-Taiba
Army of the Pure and Righteous
Paasban-e-Kashmir
Paasban-i-Ahle-Hadith
Jamaat-ud-Dawa

Technical tidy-up: The instrument also removes some outdated regulatory provisions (subregulations 4(7) and 4(8), and Schedule 1A, Part 3) that are no longer needed.
