Australian Law Reform Commission review into sedition
On 2 March 2006, the former Attorney-General, the Hon Philip Ruddock MP, announced that the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) would review Schedule 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (No. 2) 2005 (ATA) which contains the revised sedition offence provisions. The review followed an undertaking to refer those provisions to the ALRC during the debate on the ATA in late 2005.
The ALRC Report was tabled on 13 September 2006.
