Rally calls for terror laws to be repealed

Rally calls for terror laws to be repealed¹

Dr Di Natale of the Australian Greens Senate candidate, said….

“But all of the things that have happened have been allowable under the current legislation and that’s the real worrying thing.

“The Migration Act compromises someone’s ability to get a fair trial. By branding someone a bad character, immediately you’re undermining the presumption of innocence.

“Of course, then the terror laws allow a whole range of things that allow in this case for really shonky evidence to deprive this person of his liberty.”

Dr Di Natale said Australia’s terror laws should be scrapped, adding the Greens were “a real chance to hold the balance of power in the Senate” in the upcoming federal election.
