An examination, explanation and conversation with Bret Walker SC and Professor George Williams 

The national conversation over the last few months has focused on terrorism, foreign fighters, control orders, ASIO powers, SIO's, warrants, phone tapping and journalists going to jail. The conversation has now translated to the first tranche of legislation. Another tranche is under review by a parliamentary committee. A third tranche is proposed and is yet to be introduced to parliament.

The laws are complex and significant. The pace with which they have been passed has meant minimal debate and little scrutiny.
