Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for that revelation! But I ask him if he is not concerned with this finding of ACMA:

The mere promotion of the beliefs or opinions of a terrorist organisation—done in the instance cited above through an historical analysis of Hezbollah’s war with Israel in 2006—does not in itself constitute a breach of the Anti-terrorism Standard …

Isn’t the minister concerned about that finding? And can the minister inform the Senate whether or not al-Manar is in fact banned in the United States and several European countries?
