澳大利亚One Nation党领导人保琳·汉森提出一项反恐法案，旨在赋予政府权力取消或暂停因恐怖主义罪行被指控或定罪者的护照 [1]。根据该提案，"安排恐怖主义战士无权入境者"最高可面临10年监禁 [1]。汉森曾致函反对党领导人安格斯·泰勒寻求支持，但表示至今未获回复 [1]。
为推进该议案，汉森转向跨党派议员寻求支持，试图以此议题对联盟党施加压力 [1]。该提案若要成为法律，必须获得工党在众议院的支持，而这似乎前景渺茫 [1]。澳大利亚政府已表示不协助任何与伊斯兰国相关的人返回家园，但在法律上无法阻止公民获得护照 [1]。
Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia's One Nation party, is advancing a counter-terrorism proposal designed to put pressure on the Coalition over national security policy [1]. The bill would grant the government authority to deny, cancel, or suspend passports of individuals accused of or convicted of terrorism offences [1].
Under Hanson's proposal, those who arrange for terror fighters to enter Australia could face up to 10 years in prison [1]. Hanson previously sought support for the measure by writing to opposition leader Angus Taylor but reported receiving no response [1]. She has now turned to cross-party parliamentarians in hopes of building broader backing [1].
The Australian government has stated it will not assist anyone with alleged Islamic State affiliations to return home, yet it lacks the legal authority to prevent citizens from obtaining passports [1]. For Hanson's proposal to become law, it would require support from the Labor Party in the House of Representatives, an outcome that appears unlikely [1].
