A new decent law is called for.
The David Hicks matter has been resolved but it seems even now there is no law in place that says no Australian can fight for another country.
It must be made a condition of belonging to our wonderful nation that no citizen may fight in a battle in which Australia is not directly involved preferrably where Australia has made a declaration of war.
Such a law must be passed and strictly respected with no qualification that the war in which any seek to fight is just or otherwise.
Why is this law not being mooted given the recent events that saw such confusion over what should be a clear matter?
I do not think that is an unreasonable proposition and find it lamentable that the passing of such a law is not the first thing on the parliament floor raised for debate.
