Control orders are court-imposed civil orders, and that places requirements—for example, for monitoring and restrictions on association—on individuals who continue to pose a real and public safety risk. Currently, the control order regime is only available for individuals who have engaged in terrorist activities overseas. This bill extends the control orders regime to apply to individuals who have completed a prison sentence for a terrorism-related offence here in New Zealand. The bill also contains amendments that improve the workability of the Terrorism Suppression Act. Although these minor amendments do not make a substantive change to existing law, they will provide clarity and improve coherence and consistency with the Terrorism Suppression Act.
