Senator ELLISON (Minister for Justice and Customs) (8:59 PM) —I move government amendment (7) on sheet DT340:

(7) Schedule 1, item 3, page 7 (after line 29), after paragraph (2)(b), insert:

(ba) causes a person's death; or

This provision amends item 3 of schedule 1 to the bill as introduced to clarify that a terrorist act in proposed section 100.1 includes an act which causes a person's death. It would involve an insertion between subsection (2)(b), which involves serious damage to property, and subsection (2)(c)—`endangers a person's life, other than the life of the person taking the action'. Although the existing reference to actions involves, as I said, serious harm to a person, and other aspects, it was thought appropriate that we include reference to causing a person's death. It is really quite simple.

Question agreed to.
