Statement given to witnesses concerning the giving of evidence to the Review of Division 3 Part III of the ASIO Act 1979 Summary Division 3 of Part III of the ASIO Act enables ASIO to obtain a warrant from an 'issuing authority' for a person to appear before a 'prescribed authority' for questioning in order to obtain intelligence that is important in relation to a terrorism offence. A warrant may also provide for a person to be detained for questioning if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person may alert someone involved in a terrorism offence, may not appear before the prescribed authority, or may destroy or damage evidence. The report recommends a range of additional measures if Division 3 of Part III of the ASIO Act is to continue to have effect beyond 23 July 2006. -- foreword Analysis Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2003 Civil liberties Complaints Counter terrorist measures Effectiveness Imprisonment Interviews Key item Legislative amendments Muslim Australians Police interrogation Social impact Sunset legislation Notes "November 2005"--T.p At head of title: The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Chair: David Jull Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Also available in an electronic version on the Internet.
