Debate
Terrorism (Protection of Premises) BillContribution
At the heart of this amendment is the recognition that high-risk premises, whether they are large public venues, critical infrastructure sites or other locations that attract heightened threats, require specialised risk assessments and security services. Accredited private security providers are uniquely positioned to offer these services, drawing on years of experience, cutting-edge technology and specialised training that may not always be available within the public sector. By enabling a contractual relationship between the responsible persons for qualifying premises and these private providers, the amendment offers a practical solution to address complex and evolving security challenges.
