The French government will move to introduce new powers that mirror Australia's heavily-debated terrorism control orders and dual citizenship legislation in the wake of the Paris attacks. 
President Francois Hollande convened a rare joint session of both houses of parliament on Monday to debate the urgent need to introduce new measures in response to Friday's deadly attacks.
Among the changes he said he would pursue are laws to make it easier to deport and strip dual nationals of their French citizenship if they are convicted of a terrorist offence.
He also flagged tighter monitoring of people on terror watch lists and an increase of 5000 police officers.
The parliament will vote on Wednesday on a bill to extend the current state of emergency in France to three months, a move that would require changing France's constitution.
A state of emergency, or etat d'urgence, is declared by decree by the cabinet for a maximum of 12 days, after which it requires the passage of a law to extend it.
The state of emergency gives the government the power to prohibit the movement of people and vehicles, set curfews and forbid mass assemblies, establish "secure zones" where people can be monitored, close public spaces and control press broadcasts.
Roger Wilkins, former secretary of the Australian Attorney-General's Department, said it was inevitable for Europe to move towards adopting strict control orders, similar to those available to Australian authorities, in the wake of the Paris attacks.
Ben Saul, professor of international law at the University of Sydney, warned against using the Paris attacks to introduce new laws, saying initial evidence pointed to French officials failing to pick up vital intelligence using existing laws rather than the failure of the laws themselves.
