Tough new bail and parole laws for offenders convicted of terrorism or those with links to terror activities have been passed by the Queensland Parliament.
Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath says the Palaszczuk Government is sending a strong message that terrorism has no place in Queensland.
Mrs D’Ath says the legislation passed yesterday establishes a presumption that those involved in terrorism, those supporting terrorism, or those with links to terror activity will not be eligible for bail or parole.
She says Queenslanders have a right to live in safety and free from violence, and makes no apology for taking a strong stand on terror.
