Don't you have to be a sober upstanding citizen to qualify? A donut for your thoughts.

Which is why the decision should be left to the legal system and not a dickhead minister from either party....Abbott was a real idiot!!!

The government can't afford to make holes in this law to allow individuals through because the holes will create opportunities for terrorist fighters to leap through. There will be no credible evidence that this guy was fighting against ISIS.

Actually IS in Syria etc is engaging in a guerrilla type war - not necessarily terrorism, although some of their tactics are terror, and outside that defined area they may engage in terrorist attacks.

This guy is being charged with engaging in a foreign war.... whether terrorist or otherwise...
