THE federal government has updated its listing of terror groups and their financiers, renewing some and removing others.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said these listings implemented Australia's obligations under a resolution of the United Nations Security Council to suppress the financing of terrorism.
"The threat of terrorism to Australia is real and enduring. The Australian government remains determined to combat and prevent terrorism in all its forms," she said in a statement.
Ms Bishop recently considered whether to renew the listings of 87 of the 93 listed persons and organisations, set to expire soon.
The renewal extends their listing for another three years. Listed organisations include terror groups such as al-Shabab, Tamil Tigers and Real IRA.
Removed from the list were three defunct terror groups and Imad Mughniyah, a senior member of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah killed in a car bomb explosion in 2008.
