Firstly, Australia was not at war with anyone at the time he was in Afghanistan. He certainly was "punished", but that was by not providing the rule of law, or Geneva convention rights. He never had a trial.
And I am defending our civil rights, many of which have been eroded since the 3 towers were demolished.
I am not against his being charged for treason, at least he would have had a trial! But to incarcerate someone for life, without a trial, well I certainly hope you never become someone with political or bureaucratic power.

Lory. You are factually incorrect.

Hicks was charged with Material Support for Terrorism and received a seven year sentence which was suspended for all but nine months.
