Federal politics with Michelle Grattan: David Hicks

He was a symbol of John Howard's tough stance on national security. But after five years in Guantanamo Bay and many months living under a control order, David Hicks will be released from any formal surveillance by the end of the year. The Australian Federal Police announced late yesterday that it would not renew its control order on the convicted terrorist. The order imposed a midnight to 5am curfew, which required him to report to police twice a week and placed restrictions on his internet access and mobile phone use.
