Greens back terrorism bill

From The Panel, 4:45 pm on 25 October 2019

A bill that gives authorities greater powers over returning foreign fighters passed its first reading last night after a last minute deal with the Green Party.

The Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill proposes 'control orders' to boost government powers to deal with people trying to come here after fighting for or helping extremist groups overseas. Lawyer Graeme Edgeler joins the discussion.
