Photo / Greg BowkerA woman who had her passport cancelled because it was believed she planned to facilitate a terrorist act for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has had her application for a judicial review denied. Dunne informed the woman his decision was based on information provided by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service, most of which was classified. Specifically, that you maintain an intention to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The court heard there were a series of factual matters included in the classified security information which Dunne relied on in making his decision.
