On 11 August 2025, the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor (INSLM) Mr Jake Blight, initiated the inquiry to review the terrorist act definition in section 100.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). My submission outlines that linking terrorism to religion – particularly Islam – has resulted in significant social harm, further entrenching Islamophobia. It has undermined trust between communities and government and diverted valuable law enforcement resources away from emerging security threats in Australia.
