DAVID Hicks should not apologise for his actions because he has done nothing wrong, his father Terry said yesterday.
Amid national controversy over David's apparent lack of remorse following his release from Yatala prison on Saturday, Mr Hicks backed the decision not to apologise.
"What has he got to apologise for?" he said.
"He has done nothing wrong; he was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Mr Hicks, who just days ago indicated his son would say sorry to the Australian public, said David wrote a number of drafts of the statement read out by his lawyer David McLeod following his release.
"He prepared three or four statements before he got to the last one, which I hadn't seen," he said.
The RSL, Australian terror bombing survivors and the federal and state oppositions have condemned Hicks' refusal to apologise.
