directly or indirectly encouraging, glorifying, promoting or condoning a terrorist act; or
seeking support for, or justifying, the carrying out of a terrorist act; or
material that a reasonable person would suspect has been produced or distributed by a terrorist organisation (within the meaning of Division 102 of the Criminal Code of the Commonwealth).
For the purposes of subsection (1)(a)(i) and (ii), it does not matter whether a particular terrorist act is or can be identified in or from the material.
