And the government complies. So what if he "took orders from bin Laden" and deemed the latter "lovely"?
"Gov't lifts restrictions on Aussie linked to al-Qaeda," from USA Today, November 20:
Australia announced today that it's lifting the restrictions that were imposed on David Hicks after he was released from Guantanamo Bay and returned to his home country.Hicks trained with al-Qaeda and was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan after 9/11. Before the United States released him from the detention facility in Cuba, Hicks confessed to supporting terrorism.
Since his release from prison in Australia, Hicks has been subject to a "control order" that allows authorities to monitor his activities.
On Dec 21 "the current control order in respect of Mr. David Hicks expires," the Australian Federal Police says in a statement. "Following extensive consultation with a number of agencies, the AFP has decided it will not be seeking a further control order in respect of Mr. Hicks. The AFP has today advised the Attorney-General and Mr. Hicks’ legal representative of its position. The AFP will not be making any further comment in relation to this control order process."
The statement was released after activists posted a video clip in which Hicks asked the government to "let me get on with my life," ABC Radio reports.

It's just a shame that the victims of 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Bali, those school children in Russia etc, etc, don't have the option of getting on with their lives you little weasel.

I wish he'd get on with his life in an Islamic paradise -- any of them --- just get the hell out of the Great Southern land of the Holy Spirit.

In Australia, there are citizens' groups that make it their business to keep an eye on the whereabouts and activities of known pedophiles who are not actually in jail (e.g. who have served sentences and been released).
Seems to me that similar groups may have to be created to keep an eye on the likes of Mr Hicks.

Give no quarter, take no quarter.
If we take them prisioner, they will live. If they take a prisioner, surely that person will feel the cold chop of islam.

"...and so let me get on with my life so I can keep spouting hatred against the infidels and attack them whenever I find them..."
Not a good way to get on with your life "David".

When I originally read about this loser he was a high school dropout who had practised self mutilation, never accomplished much on anything {unless you count abandoning his children - undoubtedly a positive thing for them}. After a series of dead end jobs he decided to go overseas to murder people he had never met; far less having any reality based issue with them. He has taken part in armed combat. And even now the "person" that fathered him continues to bleat that he {hicks} has "done nothing wrong".
Maybe there's a genetic component to all this!
