The Home Invasion (Self-Defence and Defence of Property) Bill, 2025—commonly referred to as “stand your ground” legislation—was passed in the Senate on Friday night without amendments.
The Bill was approved in the House of Representatives on November 28 and now awaits assent from President Christine Kangaloo. Once enacted, anyone convicted of a home invasion will face up to 25 years in prison or a fine of $750,000.
After nearly ten hours of debate on Friday, the Senate passed the Bill following the committee stage, during which all proposed amendments were rejected by the Government.
