With respect, Senator Lambie, I absolutely do not; in fact, I say the very opposite. I say that the power to declare an organisation to be a terrorist organisation is classically an exercise of executive power, not an exercise of judicial power—for the reason I just explained in answer to your last question. It is not the kind of decision which courts make. It is not an exercise of judicial power; it is classically an exercise of executive power.
