Summary

Part of a package of four bills, the bill amends the:

Criminal Code Act 1995
to: give effect to the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings; and insert offences in relation to international terrorist activities using explosive or lethal devices; and
Extradition Act 1988
to ensure that the offences shall not be regarded, for the purposes of extradition, as political offences.
