(2) The hearing must be held within 28 days after a copy of the application is given to the offender under subsection 105A.5(4).
(3) The Court may appoint one or more relevant experts if the Court believes that the matters alleged in the application would, if proved, justify making a continuing detention order in relation to the offender.
(4) The relevant expert who is appointed must:
(a) conduct an assessment of the risk of the offender committing a serious Part 5.3 offence if the offender is released into the community; and
(b) provide a report of the expert’s assessment to the Court, the Attorney‑General and the offender.

105A.7 Making a continuing detention order
(1) A Supreme Court of a State or Territory may make a written order under this subsection if:
(a) an application is made in accordance with section 105A.5 for a continuing detention order in relation to a terrorist offender; and
(b) after having regard to matters in accordance with section 105A.8, the Court is satisfied to a high degree of probability, on the basis of admissible evidence, that the offender poses an unacceptable risk of committing a serious Part 5.3 offence if the offender is released into the community; and
(c) the Court is satisfied that there is no other less restrictive measure that would be effective in preventing the unacceptable risk.
Note: An example of a less restrictive measure is a control order.
(2) Otherwise, the Court must dismiss the application.
Onus of satisfying Court
(3) The Attorney‑General bears the onus of satisfying the Court of the matters referred to in paragraphs (1)(b) and (c).
Period of order
(4) The order must specify the period during which it is in force.
(5) The period must be a period of no more than 3 years that the Court is satisfied is reasonably necessary to prevent the unacceptable risk.
Court may make successive continuing detention orders
(6) To avoid doubt, subsection (5) does not prevent a Supreme Court of a State or Territory making a continuing detention order in relation to a terrorist offender that begins to be in force immediately after a previous continuing detention order in relation to the offender ceases to be in force.
105A.8 Matters a Court must have regard to in making a continuing detention order
In deciding whether the Court is satisfied as referred to in paragraph 105A.7(1)(b) in relation to a terrorist offender, a Supreme Court of a State or Territory must have regard to the following matters:
(a) the safety and protection of the community;
(b) any report received from a relevant expert under section 105A.6 in relation to the offender, and the level of the offender’s participation in the assessment by the expert;
(c) the results of any other assessment conducted by a relevant expert of the risk of the offender committing a serious Part 5.3 offence, and the level of the offender’s participation in any such assessment;
(d) any report, relating to the extent to which the offender can reasonably and practicably be managed in the community, that has been prepared by:
(i) the relevant State or Territory corrective services; or
(ii) any other person or body who is competent to assess that extent;
(e) any treatment or rehabilitation programs in which the offender has had an opportunity to participate, and the level of the offender’s participation in any such programs;
(f) the level of the offender’s compliance with any obligations to which he or she is or has been subject while:
(i) on release on parole for any offence; or
(ii) subject to a continuing detention order or interim detention order;
(g) the offender’s criminal history (including prior convictions and findings of guilt in respect of any other offences);
(h) the views of the sentencing court at the time the relevant sentence of imprisonment was imposed on the offender;
(i) any other information as to the risk of the offender committing a serious Part 5.3 offence;
(j) any other matter the Court considers relevant.
105A.9 Interim detention orders
(1) The Attorney‑General, or a legal representative of the Attorney‑General, may apply to a Supreme Court of a State or Territory for an interim detention order in relation to a terrorist offender if an application has been made to the Court for a continuing detention order in relation to the offender.
(2) The Court may make a written order under this subsection if:
(a) the Court is satisfied that either of the following periods will end before the application for the continuing detention order has been determined:
(i) the sentence of imprisonment referred to in subparagraph 105A.3(1)(b)(i) that the offender is serving;
(ii) the period for which a continuing detention order or an interim detention order is in force in relation to the offender; and
(b) the Court believes that the matters alleged in the application for the continuing detention order would, if proved, justify making a continuing detention order in relation to the offender.

Period of order
