Thank you, Attorney. Nonetheless, I am inviting you to answer my question, which is: do you accept that changing the wording from 'is imminent' to 'could occur', notwithstanding the fact that 14 days remains as the time period, will allow preventive detention orders to be made in instances where no terrorist act has occurred and no terrorist act is imminent?
