"People should be able to travel to terrorism hot-spots for
legitimate reasons such as studying, learning languages or visiting relatives,

where terrorists are active.
People convicted of preparing for or participating in a foreign conflict face life

president Gillian Triggs called for more leeway to allow "innocent" activity in those
zones." AAP 10:59:50
