Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security

9 November 2026

11:06 - 12:57
Speaker 1
Okay.  Well good afternoon everyone. 

I'd like to now declare open this public hearing of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security for its inquiry into the nature and drivers of radicalisation in Australia.  I want to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which we are all meeting today and pay my respect to their elders past, present, and emerging.  Now these public proceedings, although the sorry, these are public proceedings, and although the committee may agree to requests to have evidence heard in camera, or determine that evidence should be heard in camera, I do want to remind witnesses that in giving evidence to the committee they are protected by parliamentary privilege, unless you are giving evidence from outside of Australia.  It is unlawful for anyone to threaten or disadvantage a witness on account of evidence given to a committee.  And such action may be treated by the Parliament as contempt. 

It is also a contempt to give false or misleading evidence to a committee.  As chair, I'll ensure proceedings are conducted in an orderly, respectful and courteous way,  and I want to remind committee members of their obligations under the behaviour code for Australian parliamentarians  and the resolutions of both houses to treat witnesses with dignity, courtesy, fairness and respect.  Now, in accordance with the committee's resolutions of the 26th of August last year, this hearing will be broadcast on the Parliament's website, 

and official transcripts of proceedings will also be published on the website.  I like to now welcome Dr Josh Roose to give evidence at this public hearing today.  For the Hansard record, could I ask that you state your full name, the capacity in which you appear before today's hearing?
