Let's agree to disagree... I suggest you get your hands on the relevant DEFGRAM. The CDF directive WRT overseas travel restrictions seems rather black and white to me.
Whilst not an authoritative reference:
"Last year CDF Gen Peter Cosgrove directed that ADF commanders do not approve leave for ADF personnel intending to travel to any global areas covered by foreign affairs advisories for non-essential travel."

I'm not trying to be a smart arse... I just don't like the idea of people booking and paying for overseas holidays and getting caught out at the last moment.
Forewarned is forearmed.
