THE Federal Government’s anti-terror bill is expected to pass Parliament next week — but one civil libertarian senator fears Australians don’t understand the full extent of the impact of the new laws.

The so-called Foreign Fighter’s bill was introduced to Parliament last month. It came after Australia’s terror threat level was raised to high and the largest anti-terror raids in Australian history were conducted by the Australian Federal Police on September 18.

A bipartisan parliamentary committee last week recommended the bill be passed — but made 36 recommendations last week to water it down.

Liberal Democrat Senator David Leyonhjelm believes it will be hard for people to keep up with the proposed new laws.
