On 9 August 2017 the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security commenced a Review of the re-listing of Boko Haram and Islamic State as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code.
Section 102.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 provides that the Committee may review a regulation which lists an organisation as a terrorist organisation and report its comments and recommendations to each House of the Parliament before the end of the applicable disallowance period for the House. The disallowance period is 15 sitting days from the day the regulation is tabled.
