Recommendation 3

3 Paragraph: 10

Clarify the Draft Bill's overall purpose and objectives for all captured premises.

Conclusion
The overall objective of the Draft Bill remains opaque. We agree with the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation that the overall purpose of the Bill must be made clear, especially to those venues/premises that will be captured by the duties in the Bill. The rhetoric around the Draft Bill appears to suggest that the Bill is more about prevention. However, our analysis of the Draft Bill suggests it is about the consequences of a terrorist attack.
