The amendments to the terrorism financing offence framework update that framework to cover the changing nature of terrorism. The framework currently only criminalises providing financial support for terrorism. However, international experience has shown that terrorists have relied on a range of both financial and non-financial support to carry out their terrorist attacks. The bill criminalises material support provided to terrorist persons or groups, and the support that is criminalised includes things like offering advice, providing goods and services, and financial assistance. Currently, a person can be convicted of this offence if they intend for the support to be used to support or facilitate a terrorist act or if they know that it will be. The bill also introduces an alternative mental element of recklessness to the offence. Similar jurisdictions—including Australia and the United Kingdom, again—have also taken this approach. This means that a person who didn't explicitly know that the material support being provided would be used to support a terrorist act can now be convicted of this offence if they perceived the risk that the support may be used to support a terrorist act and provided it anyway.
