Member Update – 5 January 2026

Dear Members

This is a stressful time for everyone, and we understand (and share) your anxiety and frustration.

SSAA National and SSAA NSW worked quickly and tirelessly to engage with the NSW Government on the Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 that passed through the NSW Parliament earlier this week, here: Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025. The NSW Government was not prepared to consult with key stakeholders on the legislation, acting quickly to push the Bill through parliament.
