Control Order Safeguards

On 29 January 2016 the former INSLM, the Hon. Roger Gyles AO QC, completed Part 1 of a report on whether a system of special advocates should be implemented in relation to the control order regime. This was a matter referred to the INSLM by the then Prime Minister.

On 20 April 2016, Part 2 of the Control Order Safeguards Report was completed. Part 2 of the Report considered other additional safeguards recommended in the 2013 Council of Australian Government Review of Counter-Terrorism Legislation in relation to the control order regime.

A public hearing associated with the Review into the adequacy of control order safeguards was held in Canberra on 16 December 2015.
