Saying he believed in jihad, but not that much, local terrorist Sam Hughes* has decided to call time on his terrorism career after the Government revealed his $240 weekly Centrelink payment would be cut.

“I’d go a long way for my cause – I’d die for it. But I’ve always said you’ve got to draw the line somewhere,” Mr Hughes said.

Hughes will return to regular society next week.
