Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Why is the government so weak and lacking in compassion in standing up for the rights of Australians? Why can’t David Hicks be returned to Australia immediately and, if he is assessed to be posing a risk to the community, control orders could be used to monitor his movements? Isn’t this a fairer process than keeping him locked forever without trial in Guantanamo Bay?
