Greens seek to scrap 'no go zones' from Foreign Fighters Bill
The Abbott Government's unnecessary 'no go zone' laws undermine the presumption of innocence and criminalise legitimate travel, says Australian Greens Legal Affairs spokesperson Senator Penny Wright.
Senator Wright said the Greens would move amendments to strike out clauses that make it a criminal offence to travel to an area black-listed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
"We do not support these blanket bans and we will be trying to get rid of them when the legislation comes to parliament," Senator Wright said.
