    diligent,

    Are you sure that you are prepared to pay $100 to support the "Taliban" by sending over another recruit?

    Such a payment could very easily be construed as supporting a terrorist organization under the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002.

    "When a court has determined, or by regulation it is determined, that an organisation is a 'terrorist organisation', it is an offence to:

    direct the activities of the organisation;
    recruit persons to the organisation;
    receive training from or provide training to the organisation;
    receive funds from or make available funds to the organisation;
    provide support or resources to the organisation."

    Unless it goes by another name, I can't see the Taliban mentioned but since this group is believed to have killed five of our finest, offering financial support and encouraging others to do the same could be seen as unpatriotic at best.

    Perhaps you think I am being a little harsh but I have a very personal interest. One of my children is a member of the ADF.
