Anti-terrorism control orders unconstitutional, High Court hears

Recommended Posts

HEY, JOHN HOWARD :wave-finger:

===========================================

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200612/s1804402.htm

The High Court has been told the Commonwealth anti-terrorism laws have given the Federal Court an unprecedented power to direct all aspects of a person's life.

The High Court is considering a challenge to the interim control order imposed on Melbourne man Jack Thomas.

Counsel for Mr Thomas, Ron Merkel QC, has told the court the law gives an extraordinary ambit to the anti-terrorism regime because it allows an order to be imposed on a person not directly involved in planning a terrorist attack.

Mr Merkel also says the power given to the Federal Court to impose a control order is at odds with the Constitution.

Mr Thomas is still subject to the order which includes a curfew and strict reporting conditions.

He is not in Canberra for the hearing.

Oh. In case anyone is wondering why I posted this, it's a running commentary on my hopeful downfall of this CRAP.

just to put some fears at rest... i spoke out of place on something that wasnt my right to speak publically about... thus i have edited my posts.

I am however, sorry for any 'dramatic' overtones my editing of my original post may have carried.

I have emmitted the information in light of the possibility that my public discussion of my mums work situation may be used against her.

It's really appalling what is going on here... I believe Australia is being used as a testing ground for all these technologies and approaches...

Its not so easy to FUCK people up the arse in the U.S. or the UK for instance, actually, as people have rights there and actually stand up for them.

Here, the ptb, take advantage of the fact that we still feel like prisoners who can be fucked with anytime really and won't complain, because we expect that... and have a bit of a cynical, victimised attitude towards this sort of power.

If people don't stand up and say "fuck this shit", nothing is going to happen and it will get worse... I suggest your mother go to press and expose this scandalous abuse of terrorism laws which is a true invasion of personal privacy.

She's a lawyer, they aint going to want to fuck with her! And its not something that ANYONE should tolerate.

Julian.

Having arrived back in Australia yesterday morning, my mum promptly told me .......

Might as well give them something to watch, whenever your gonna be away from the computer for a while connect it to a streaming shemale scat porn video.

Heck that in itself might relieve their suspicion, would a ultraconservative muslim extremist watch 97 hours of shemale scat porn?
