Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill Government Bill Explanatory note General policy statement This Bill introduces a civil regime of control orders to manage and monitor a small number of people who are returning to, or who have arrived in, New Zealand after having engaged in terrorism-related activities overseas.
The control order regime targets individuals who pose a risk of engaging in further terrorism-related activities and for whom a criminal prosecution for their past terror- ism-related activities overseas is not viable because of the significant difficulties asso- ciated with securing evidence from overseas jurisdictions (particularly in the context of an ongoing armed conflict).
Control orders would impose requirements on returnees to protect the public from ter- rorism, to prevent engagement in terrorism-related activities in a country (carrying out terrorism, or facilitating or supporting the carrying out of terrorism), and to sup- port the returnee’s reintegration into New Zealand and rehabilitation.
For example, an order could enable the electronic monitoring of a person’s movements, restrict their access to the Internet and other communication devices except on devices known to and monitored by the Police, prohibit associations with specific people or places, or require the person to report regularly to the Police.

Returnees’ reintegration into New Zealand and disengagement from radicalising influences are key to minimising future risks of terrorism.
The implementation of the order would also be designed to help mobilise the necessary services for returnees’ reintegration (for example, needs assessments, alcohol and drug treatment services, or support into employment).

Returnees would be encouraged to participate in pro- grammes that lessen their risk, and this, in turn, could lead to an easing of require- ments or discharge of their order.

Orders would be made by the High Court on application by the Commissioner of Police.
In making the order, the court must be satisfied that the person is a relevant person (a person who is 18 years old or older, is or may be coming to New Zealand or 183—1 2 Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill Explanatory note has arrived in New Zealand, and has engaged in terrorism-related activities in a for- eign country or meets other stated criteria).
The court must also be satisfied that the person poses a risk of engaging in further terrorism-related activities and that the requirements the order imposes are necessary and appropriate for stated main and incidental purposes.
Before imposing a requirement, the court must also consider how the condition would affect the returnee’s financial, health, or other personal, circum- stances, must consider any other matter the court thinks relevant (for example, whether requirements are justified limits on rights and freedoms in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990), and must comply with relevant limits specified in the Bill.
An interim order operates until a final order is made and served or it is clear that no final order has been applied for or made.

A final order can have a maximum duration of up to 2 years, and can be renewed by the court twice if there is evidence that the person still meets the criteria for the final order.

No extension of the order would be available past 6 years.

Breaches, without a reasonable excuse, of requirements of an order would be a criminal offence.
The offence would be punishable, on conviction, by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 1 year or a fine not exceeding $2,000.

It is expected that orders would be applied for in respect of only a very small number of returnees, with estimates of no more than 2 orders made per year.

(2) The application for the final control order must be— (a) made on notice to the relevant person; and (b) (c) set down for hearing, and heard, as soon as practicable; and determined as soon as practicable.

(3) Because the application for the final control order is made on notice to the rele- vant person, the documents to be served must exclude any information support- ing the application that is not disclosable supporting information.

5 18 Limit on requiring electronic monitoring The court must not impose a requirement of the kind stated in section 16(n) if the court considers that a less restrictive requirement or combination of requirements would be sufficient to achieve the main purposes stated in sec- tion 3(a) and (b) and (if applicable) 1 or both of the incidental purposes sta- ted in section 3(c).
Compare: 2000 No 38 s 30C 10 19 Limit on requiring relevant person to engage with specified rehabilitative services (1) No relevant person may be made, or may remain, subject to a requirement of 15 the kind stated in section 16(p) unless the relevant person— (a) has been fully advised, by a person who is qualified to prescribe or pro- vide the specified rehabilitative services, about their nature and their intended and likely effects and any known risks of engaging with them; and 20 (b) is competent to make an informed choice and give informed consent to engaging with them; and (c) gives, and has not withdrawn, informed consent to engaging with them.
(2) Informed consent of that kind can be given, withheld, or withdrawn by words or conduct.

25 (3) No particular conduct, or form of words, is required to give, withhold, or with- draw informed consent of that kind.

(3) The control order and its requirements expire if the control order is not served within that 12-month period, but its expiry does not prevent another control order being applied for and made in respect of the same relevant person based on engagement in 1 or both of the following: 5 (a) (b) the same terrorism-related activities in a foreign country: later and different terrorism-related activities in a foreign country.
21 Information to be served with interim control order made without notice 10 The Commissioner must prepare, and serve with an interim control order made without notice to, and served on, the relevant person, the following informa- tion: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) the name of the relevant person who is subject to the order; and that the relevant person is subject to an interim control order made by the High Court under this Act; and 15 a summary of the court’s reasons for making the order, and of the rea- sons why the court considered that the requirements of the order comply with section 11(2)(b) and (c); and a general explanation of the effect of the order and its requirements; and that the order and its requirements take effect when they are served on the relevant person; and the maximum duration of the order and its requirements (see sec- tion 24(1)); and any other information necessary to enable or help the relevant person to comply with all of the requirements of the order; and 20 25 a copy of the disclosable supporting information; and how the relevant person can challenge the order, its requirements, or both— (i) (ii) (iii) by applying to the High Court under this Act to vary or discharge the order, its requirements, or both: 30 by opposing an application made (no later than the date stated in or directed under section 15(1)(b)) by the Commissioner to the High Court for a final control order in respect of the relevant per- son and to replace the interim order: 35 by appealing under the Senior Courts Act 2016 to the Court of Appeal, or the Supreme Court, or both against the order, its requirements, or both (or, if the order is replaced by a final control 12 Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill Part 2 cl 24 order, against the final control order, its requirements, or both); and (j) (k) (l) an explanation of the relevant person’s related rights to legal advice and representation; and an explanation of the relevant person’s related rights to apply for legal aid; and 5 a general explanation of the effect of automatic suppression under this Act of the identity of the relevant person.
22 (1) Entry to premises to serve control order The court may issue a warrant authorising entry— 10 (a) to any premises where the Police believe on reasonable grounds that a relevant person is present; and (b) in order to enable service on the relevant person of a control order.
(2) The court may issue the warrant— (a) (b) only on an application for the purpose made by the Commissioner; and 15 only if satisfied that a person has refused or refuses to allow the Police to enter those or any other premises in order to prevent or avoid service on the relevant person of a control order.

Compare: 2015 No 112 s 21 20 25 Taking effect, duration, and renewal 23 Taking effect (1) A control order takes effect when it is served on the relevant person.
(2) 24 (1) This section does not alter the operation of any requirements expressed to take effect only at a later time or times.
Duration The duration of an interim control order made in respect of a relevant person is (subject to earlier variation, discharge, or expiry of the order or its require- ments, and see also section 12(4)) from when the order is served on the rele- vant person until the order expires when— (a) (b) (c) a final control order that replaces the order is made by the court and served on the relevant person; or 30 no application for a final control order that replaces the order is made within the applicable period (see section 15(1)(b)); or an application of that kind made within that period is withdrawn, or is finally determined by the court refusing a final control order.
35 13 Part 2 cl 25 Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Bill (2) (3) (4) The duration of a final control order must be not longer than the court con- siders necessary having regard to the purposes stated in section 3(a) to (c) (see also section 12(4)).

But that duration must also be not longer than 2 years after the final control order is served on the relevant person in respect of whom the order is made.
Those 2 years include, for a final control order that replaces an interim control order, the period the interim control order has effect.

(5) Those 2 years exclude, for a final control order, any period during which both the order and its requirements are wholly suspended under section 27.
(6) A final control order expires (subject to earlier variation, discharge, or expiry of the order or its requirements and to section 25(2)) at the end of its dura- tion, but its expiry does not prevent another control order being applied for and made in respect of the same relevant person but based on engagement in later and different terrorism-related activities in a foreign country.
25 (1) (2) Renewal The court may renew a final control order on an application for the purpose made by the Commissioner within its duration.

If an application for renewal of a final control order is made, the order has effect until the application is withdrawn or finally determined.

(3) No final control order can be renewed more than twice.

(4) No control order that has expired under section 28 (expiry if relevant person sentenced to long-term sentence) can be renewed.
(5) (6) In deciding the application, the court must apply the provisions of this Act about making, and the requirements of, a final control order.

In particular, because the application is made on notice, the documents to be served must exclude any information supporting the application that is not dis- closable supporting information.

5 10 15 20 25 (7) However, sections 13(1) to (3) and 15(1) do not apply to the application.
(8) A renewed final control order takes effect and expires, and is varied, suspen- ded, or discharged, in the same way as one that has not been renewed.

30 Variation or discharge, and suspension or expiry, of control order and requirements Variation or discharge The court may, on an application made for the purpose by the Commissioner or the relevant person, vary or discharge a control order or its requirements or both.
35 In deciding the application, the court must apply the provisions of this Act about making, and the requirements of, a final control order.

(4) However, sections 13(1) to (3) and 15(1) do not apply to the application.
(5) No variation of a control order can extend the duration of the control order 5 under section 24.

(6) A varied control order takes effect and expires, and is renewed, varied, suspen- ded, or discharged, in the same way as one that has not been varied.
27 (1) (2) 28 (1) (2) Suspension This section applies if, while a relevant person is subject to a control order, the relevant person is detained— 10 (a) (b) (c) (d) in a prison on remand; or in a prison while serving a short-term sentence; or in a hospital under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992; or 15 in a facility under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003.
The control order and its requirements, to the extent (if any) that they cannot be complied with during that detention, are suspended until the relevant person is no longer detained in the prison, hospital, or facility.

20 Compare: 2014 No 68 s 139 Expiry if relevant person sentenced to long-term sentence This section applies if, while a relevant person is subject to a control order, the relevant person is sentenced to a long-term sentence.
The control order and its requirements expire, and the control order cannot be replaced by a final control order or renewed, but its expiry does not prevent another control order being applied for and made in respect of the same rele- vant person but based on engagement in later and different terrorism-related activities in a foreign country.
29 General effect of appeals Appeals This Act does not affect any rules of court under which any appeal, application for leave to appeal, or giving of leave to appeal does not operate as a stay of any proceeding in which a decision was given to make, renew, vary, or dis- charge a control order imposing any requirement, or a stay of execution of that decision, unless the court appealed from or the appeal court orders, or grants any interim relief, to the contrary.

5 The question must be decided on the balance of probabilities.
Offence to breach requirements 30 (1) (2) 31 (1) A person commits an offence if the person— (a) is a relevant person in respect of whom the court has made a control order; and 10 (b) breaches, without reasonable excuse, a requirement of the control order.

(2) A person who commits an offence under this section is liable on conviction to— (a) (b) imprisonment for a term not exceeding 1 year; or a fine not exceeding $2,000.
15 Compare: 2002 No 10 s 71; 2015 No 112 s 31 32 (1) Automatic suppression of identity of relevant person This section applies to a person if— (a) (b) an application for, or for the renewal, variation, or discharge of, a control order in respect of the person has been made and has not been with- drawn or finally determined; or (as the case requires) 20 a control order has been made, renewed, varied, or discharged in respect of the person.
(2) The purpose of this section is to protect the person and to support the person’s reintegration into New Zealand or rehabilitation, or both.

25 (3) No person may publish, in any report or account of the proceeding in which the court considers and determines the application or (as the case requires) makes, renews, varies, or discharges the control order, the person’s name, address, or occupation, unless the court, by order, permits the publication.
(4) The court must make an order that permits the publication if— (a) (b) the person applies to the court for such an order; and the court is satisfied that the person understands the nature and effect of their decision to apply for the order.
(5) Nothing in this section applies to or prevents communication, by or on behalf of the Commissioner or another person performing official duties or functions, of information if the communication is necessary or desirable for the adminis- tration or enforcement of this Act.

Other publication (3) A person commits an offence if the person publishes any name, address, occu- (4) (5) pation, or other information in breach of section 32.
In a prosecution for an offence against subsection (3), it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that the defendant intended to commit an offence.

Subsection (3) does not apply to a person who hosts material on websites or other electronic retrieval systems that can be accessed by a user unless the spe- cific information has been placed or entered on the site or system by that per- son.
