The Terrorism (Police Powers) Amendment (Investigative Detention) Act 2016 (NSW) allows police to hold a suspect in detention for up to 14 days without charge - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 18 - 2021 - Paper 1

This can create an environment where individuals are treated as if they are guilty merely based on suspicion, rather than being presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
