(AAP) A South Australian woman jailed for taking steps to join the terror group Islamic State has not fully acknowledged her offending and remains a “vulnerable person, susceptible to adverse and destructive influences,” a court has ruled.
In December, the Federal Court confirmed a control order on Zainab Abdirahman-Khalif which limits her movements and activities.
It will remain in place until at least May.
Publishing reasons for his decision on Wednesday, Justice Anthony Besanko said the ongoing order was justified in the circumstances.
“Even if the respondent is not herself likely to carry out a terrorist attack, there is … not an insubstantial risk that absent the controls, she will support or facilitate the commission of a terrorist act,” he said.
