New legislation giving judges the power to strip terrorists of their citizenship is being rushed into federal parliament this week, as the government tries to shore up its anti-terror regime in the wake of two recent High Court rulings.

but what’s the limitations on who gets classified as a terrorist.

Exactly my issue with this. I don't trust the corrupt Australian government to objectively apply this law. This country is sleepsprinting into authoritarianism one small cut at a time. I may be in my very early-30's, but I'm making active plans to get out of here before things get worse. Australia has never felt more suffocating and restrictive.
