Law making and law reform are inherently public processes. The Independent National Security Legislation Monitor (‘the Monitor’) makes as much of their work available to the public as possible, including through media engagement, hearings, roundtables and meetings with community groups. Details of the Monitor’s recent media engagements, speeches and other public activities are provided below. If you are a member of a media organisation or an academic or civil society group and would like to engage with the Monitor, please contact the INSLM office via inslm@inslm.gov.au.

How to use RSS feeds

RSS is a commonly used type of web feed that lets you know when a certain website or part of a website (such as media content) has been updated with new content.

To subscribe to feeds you will need to use feed reader software – sometimes referred to as aggregators or news readers. These can be either a website or a desktop application on your computer.

Setting up a feed differs from one reader to another, but generally involves copying the URL of the feed and pasting it into the application.

Please note: We are unable to assist with the installation of feed-reading software or provide support associated with its use.

Statement – Referral in Benbrika matter

The statutory functions of the INSLM relate to the review of counter-terrorism and national security legislation, not the conduct of individuals. An alternative mechanism has been identified to independently review the conduct of officials involved in the non-disclosure of material in the Benbrika matter.
