Lawyers for an Adelaide woman slapped with a curfew after she was acquitted of terror offences have flagged a bid to disqualify the judge hearing her case.
Zainab Abdirahman-Khalif, 24, was found guilty of being a member of the Islamic State terror group but was freed from jail after her conviction was overturned last year.
The federal government successfully imposed an interim control order but Ms Abdirahman-Khalif's lawyers on Wednesday told the Federal Court a different judge may need to decide whether the order should be extended.
Their bid would hinge on legal issues that arose during the interim order decision, which was handed down in December.
Among those controls are that she report to police once a week, not leave Australia, live in an approved premises, and comply with a 10pm-6am curfew.
Before a decision about the interim order was made, the court heard Ms Abdirahman-Khalif had gained notoriety after her acquittal and could be contacted by other extremists.
Prosecutor Andrew Berger said an example of that was the letters she exchanged while behind bars with the sons of Rodney Clavell, who was found dead after a stand-off with police at an Adelaide brothel in 2014.
Mr Berger said Nathan Clavell wrote to her in August asking whether she would be interested in marrying Daniel Clavell.
He added that suggestions Ms Abdirahman-Khalif had renounced her extremist views could be treated as a "self-serving" bid to satisfy parole requirements.
The case will return to the Federal Court in June.
