Not Proceeding Protecting Australians from Foreign Terrorist Fighters The bill would let the Federal Court stop a person from entering Australia for up to two years. Before applying, the Home Affairs Minister would need an existing temporary exclusion order or foreign terrorist fighter exclusion order covering the person, but the person would not need to have applied for a return permit. The court would need to find that the person voluntarily served, participated in or materially supported a listed terrorist organisation overseas, would pose an unacceptable safety risk, and could not be managed by a less restrictive option such as a return permit with conditions. Coercion, duress and trafficking would not count as voluntary conduct.
