Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This short Act records the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly's formal request that the Commonwealth Parliament enact a terrorism law in, or substantially in, the terms of the text identified as the "referred Commonwealth Terrorism legislation" (the Schedule to the NSW Terrorism (Commonwealth Powers) Act 2002) (ss 2–3). The Act itself does not create offences or change existing Commonwealth law; whether anyone is affected, and who bears compliance costs, depends on whether and how the Commonwealth chooses to legislate (s 4).
