Title
Description
- The majority supported passing the [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/s982) in the Senate (in parliamentary jargon, they voted to give the bill a [third reading](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html)). The bill will now go to the House of Representatives to see if the [members of parliament](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_parliament#Australia) (MPs) agree with the senators and also want to pass the bill. If they do, the bill will become law.
- ### Background to the bill
- This [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/s982) is the third that has been introduced since mid-2014. A number of incidents have happened before and during the course of the introduction of these bills.
- There was [one of the biggest counter-terrorism operations](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-18/authorities-thwart-beheading-plot-in-australias-biggest-raid/5754276) in Australian history. The Prime Minister [Tony Abbott](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/warringah/tony_abbott) also confirmed that Australia would be [sending the military to Iraq](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-15/special-forces-could-move-into-iraq-within-days-abbott/5815534) to fight the [Islamic State](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant) (IS) (also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)).
The scope of this bill is narrower than the earlier two but, as mentioned above, some of its measures are "significant and warrant close scrutiny" (see [bills digest](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1415a/15bd050)). In particular, the proposed expansion of the [control order](http://www.ag.gov.au/NationalSecurity/Counterterrorismlaw/Pages/Controlorders.aspx) regime and measures that would allow the heads of [Australian Secret Intelligence Service](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Secret_Intelligence_Service) (ASIS), [Australian Signals Directorate](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Signals_Directorate) (ASD) and [Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Geospatial-Intelligence_Organisation) (AGO) to authorise activities in place of ministers in emergency circumstances.- The scope of this bill is narrower than the earlier two but some of its measures are "significant and warrant close scrutiny" (see [bills digest](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1415a/15bd050)).
