Conclusion
Providing support or assistance to a person should not be grounds for arrest, or a prevention and investigation measure, where there is no link to supporting or assisting them in espionage activities or otherwise in the commission of an offence. Clause 26(1)(c) should be deleted from the Bill, or alternatively the support or assistance should be explicitly linked to espionage activity.
