The committee also recommended changes related to new offences of planning or preparation for a terrorist attack, and the committee recommended a change to clarify that it is not an offence to attempt to plan a terrorist act or to conspire or incite another person to do so. The committee also recommended removing the clarification that planning to plan a terrorist act is not an offence, and this was intended to clarify the scope of the offence, but submitters also found it confusing. Its removal will not lead to over-criminalisation by the new planning and preparation offence within the bill.
