The Government has also re-listed al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, which was first listed as a terrorist organisation in Australia in November 2010.
The listings follow advice from security agencies that these organisations are either directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting or fostering terrorist attacks.
