From the Australian Terror laws about "things":
101.4 Possessing things connected with terrorist acts
(3) A person commits an offence under subsection (1) or (2) even if:
(b) the thing is not connected with preparation for, the engagement of a person in, or
assistance in a specific terrorist act;
I had an argument with a friend who somehow missed all the "even if" clauses in the Terror Act.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems clear that no connection to terrorism is needed, because thats what "not connected" means. It sounds like a license to arrest and charge anyone for possessing any thing.
