The public has a matter of hours to have a say on new anti-terror laws being rushed through Parliament.

The law change includes video surveillance abilities for the SIS and new powers for cancelling passports for suspected foreign fighters.

It's set to be passed into law in a matter of days.

Submissions on the bill have just opened and they close tomorrow before four days of select committee hearings.

Government agencies, and experts in security and civil liberties, are expected to have a say before the law passes.

Submissions can be made online at: http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/legislation/bills/00DBHOH_BILL60721_1/countering-terrorist-fighters-legislation-bill
