Summary

Introduction

Australia provides an interesting case study of how a country with little direct experience with terrorism can get caught up in the 9/11 effect of dramatically increased counter-terrorism. Australia borrowed heavily from the British response to terrorism, even though there are significant differences in the threats of terrorism faced by the two countries. Australia's definition of terrorism and its many new terrorism offenses are largely derived from the United Kingdom's Terrorism Act, 2000. After the 2005 London bombings, Australia adopted British innovations such as control orders, preventive arrests, and laws against the advocacy of terrorism. Since the defeat of the Howard government, Australia has also borrowed some British review models by creating an independent and security-cleared monitor.
