asked the Attorney-General, in writing, on 16 August 2011:

Are there any restrictions on Mr David Hicks as a free citizen of Australia; if so, can he indicate what these restrictions are, and specifically why each one is in place?

The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

Mr David Hicks is not subject to any restrictions as a 'free citizen of Australia'. Like all citizens, he is entitled to the same rights and freedoms, and is bound by the same obligations under Australian law.
