Being charged with a terrorism offence can turn your life upside down. Terrorism charges are likely to attract the attention of the media and are more likely to damage your image at your workplace and with family and friends.Before, September 11 attacks in the United States 2001, Terrorism charges were dealt with under common criminal law provisions. However, after that, a number of provisions were made to the Criminal Code, listing a number of Terrorist Offences.

2002 amendments to Division 101 of the Criminal Code Act 1995- external site (the Criminal Code) lists the terrorist act offences under Australian law as following.It is an offence to:

  • Commit a terrorist act
  • Plan or even prepare for a terrorist act
  • Finance terrorism or perhaps a terrorist
  • Supply or get training linked to terrorist acts
  • Possess things associated with terrorist acts
  • Collect or make docs likely to assist in terrorist acts.

A person may be convicted of an offence if they intended to commit one of these offences
or were careless as to whether their actions would add up to one of these offences. The 2002 amendments also gave the federal governmentpower to charge an organisation with an act of terrorism.

Terrorism offences are usually seen as probably the most severe criminal charges under Australian law, with many of these offences carrying an optimum penalty of life imprisonment.Being charged with a terrorist offence can have severe consequences, so it’s crucial to ensure that you get the top lawyers on your side to fight for your rights.

Your entitlements

Even if you were at fault in the accident, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical expenses and care
  • Weekly payments for loss of income
  • Lump sum impairment benefits
  • Other expenses such as rehabilitation equipment and medical aids, and home and vehicle modifications

In a road or transport accident case, a common law claim involves taking action against a negligent party. So, if another person was at fault for your accident and you have a serious injury, you may be entitled to claim damages through a common law claim.

For example, if the driver of the other car ran a stop sign, causing the accident, then you may be entitled to common law compensation. This can compensate you for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and past and future financial loss which is in addition to your other Transport Accident Commission (TAC) entitlements.
