Senator GREIG (4:49 PM)
—by leave—I move Democrat amendments (3) and (5) on sheet 4212:
(3) Schedule 1, item 10, page 6 (after line 32), after subsection (4), insert:
(4A) Nothing in this section limits the right of persons to engage in lawful advocacy, protest or dissent and the exercise of that right shall not, by itself, be regarded as a risk to national security, and the power of the Attorney-General to issue a written direction under subsection (1) shall be construed accordingly.
(5) Schedule 1, item 27, page 15 (after line 22), after subsection (4), insert:
(4A) Nothing in this section limits the right of persons to engage in lawful advocacy, protest or dissent and the exercise of that right shall not, by itself, be regarded as a risk to national security, and the power of the Attorney-General to issue a written direction under subsection (3) shall be construed accordingly.
As I said in my speech on the second reading, we Democrats share the concerns raised during the Senate inquiry, particularly by the New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties, that the Attorney-General could exercise her or his powers in relation to political protests, industrial action and consumer boycotts. Democrat amendment (3) goes to the heart of that and seeks to ensure that the rights of persons to engage in lawful advocacy, protest or dissent shall not be regarded as a risk to national security.
