A Muslim extremist who is set to be released from prison within months will be free to roam Australia without being monitored.

The prisoner, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was declined parole earlier this year, but now the government is facing increased pressure to pass tougher laws to keep tabs on terrorists.

Under Division 104 of the Criminal Code Act 1995, Australian Federal Police are able to apply for a control order from the court, which allows restrictions to be imposed on a person for the purpose of protecting the public from a terrorist threat.

But as the law stands, they are unable to apply for a court-sanctioned supervision order to monitor convicted terrorists.

Police can instead can apply for extended detention orders which keep criminals in jail for longer than the term of a sentence.

The extended detention order can only be applied if authorities believe the offender continues to pose a serious threat to the community.

Attorney-General Christian Porter told The Australian the government was working towards introducing legislation for Extended Supervision Orders (ESO) as soon as possible.

'The Attorney-General and Minister for Home Affairs have been working on this issue and consider it a significant priority,' he said.

'This is a complex area that requires detailed consideration and close collaboration between the commonwealth, operational agencies and state and territory jurisdictions.

'Consultation and drafting is taking slightly longer than expected, but it is hoped the effort will produce a result that can be more swiftly passed through the parliament.'

The paper reported that there are currently 36 people jailed under commonwealth terror laws, of which 33 would be eligible for extended detention orders or supervision orders once the amendments are in place.

The AFP and ASIO are worried that any future attacks will come from the nation's prison system.

Some of these prisoners include Tamim Khaja, 20, is currently serving 14 years behind bars for planning an attack in Sydney when he was 18.

Khaja was sentenced to a maximum of 19 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 14 years and three months.

Abdul Nacer Benbrika, over 18 months plotted attacks against the 2005 AFL grand final, Melbourne’s Crown casino during Grand Prix weekend in 2006 and Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, The Australian reported.

He was arrested in 2005 and was sentenced to 15 years’ jail, or 12 years with parole.
