‘Not enough’: Call for govt to do more than urge Australians against visiting Lebanon

The Coalition has called on the Albanese government to declare parts of Lebanon a terrorist no-go zone in an effort to stop Australian citizens from joining the terrorist group Hezbollah. Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson said the government travel advice for people not to go to Lebanon isn’t enough. “It’s not enough because clearly, people are still travelling to Lebanon,” he told Sky News host James Macpherson. “At least one Australian has been claimed by Hezbollah as a fighter and after he died had a full military funeral with all the Hezbollah honours. “So, it’s very clearly a problem and I am deeply concerned that there will be more Australians that will seek to go there.”
