The 2013 COAG Review of Counter-Terrorism Legislation concluded that the control order regime should be retained but with additional safeguards and protections included. The INSLM then recommended that a number of the COAG recommendations be implemented. Despite this, and the fact that the recommended reviews of the control order regime (including the present review) are ongoing, that regime has been extended.

In 2013, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Review of Counter-Terrorism Legislation also recommended that the PDO regime be repealed, finding that the provisions were unlikely to be used, and that the purposes of the PDO regime could be achieved ‘by traditional methods of arrest, interrogation and charge.’ Despite these recommendations, in 2016, the threshold for applying for a PDO was reduced.
