Terrorism Preventative Detention & Prohibited Contact Orders: Australia | Law Library of Congress
The Library of Congress > Law Library > Research & Reports > Legal Reports >Terrorism Laws on Preventative Detention & Prohibited Contact Orders: Australia
Preventative Detention Orders and Prohibited Contact Orders are two mechanisms available under the Australian criminal law for addressing terrorism concerns. A Preventative Detention Order permits detention of a person for a short period of time (up to forty-eight hours), while a Prohibited Contact Order prohibits the detained person from contacting individuals named in the order. Both may be sought by the Australian Federal Police, subject to certain procedural rights of the person detained or prohibited from making contact. (PDF, 44KB)
