(2) To avoid doubt, paragraph (1)(f) does not permit the Administrative Review Tribunal to review an adverse security assessment or a qualified security assessment other than in accordance with the provisions of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 and the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024.

> adverse security assessment and qualified security assessment have the same meanings as in the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979.
> Note: Section 266 of the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 requires the decision‑maker to notify persons whose interests are affected by the decision of the making of the decision and their right to have the decision reviewed. In so notifying, the decision‑maker must have regard to the matters (if any) prescribed by rules made under that Act.
