  • ⚖️A warm welcome at the Opening of Law Term 2020 service at the new Punchbowl Mosque tonight.

    This writer has not been the only person to warn of the Muslim Legal Network's work, but perhaps its better understood reading the post below from MichaelSmithNews.

    Speakman is the senior minister who has responsibility for law and order and counter-terrorism, but the minister in charge of the counter-terrorism portfolio is Anthony Roberts. 

    As First Law Officer he is sworn to uphold the law. By his repeated and open support of the Muslim Legal Network, despite it publicly subverting the work of ASIO and the police he is clearly endorsing subversion of the law, and the work of his Minister for Counter Terrorism Anthony Roberts.

    Speakman is considered a future premier of  NSW and it does look as if his political ambition is (again) confusing him in the execution of his duties.

    Australian Muslim legal guide - "never talk to police or ASIO" (without lawyer) & clear phone/SIM storage to evade scrutiny

    Tuesday, 30 May 2017
    News Limited today reports on this publication, a 197 page guide to evading detection and prosecution for the Muslim community, the people Prime Minister Turnbull refers to as "our greatest allies in the fight against terrorism".

    So how, Mr Turnbull, does that great ally pass on information?
    The publication advises Muslims (these are direct quotes)
    never talk to Police unless your lawyer is present except to confirm your name and address.
    never voluntarily speak with ASIO until you have spoken to a lawyer and received legal advice.
    You do not have to follow any ASIO directions if they do not have a warrant.
    Know what is stored on your electronic devices, including your laptop, mobile telephones and SIM cards;
    (before travelling) Clear out your telephone storage, including WhatsApp and Facebook threads, and delete any photos or videos that could be misinterpreted 
    Log out of any email, Facebook or other accounts on your laptop or electronic device before travelling;
    Keep a record of the names of the Border Force officers you deal with in the event you experience ill-treatment and you wish to make a complaint at a later time.
    it is an offence to plan to explode a bomb, regardless of whether you have yet decided where or when you intend to explode that bomb.
    if you communicate in group conversations or ‘chats’ which may distribute suspect materials, delete the material and leave the ‘chat’. You can be charged with possessing the potentially illegal material (even if on your phone/tablet).
    The Foreign Minister may list an organisation or individual if they are satisfied that the person or organisation commits terrorist acts. Under this listing law, a ‘terrorist act’ is not defined. There are currently over 3,000 individuals and organisations on the Consolidated List.

    EXTRACTS END
    This publication is not at all concerned with keeping Australians safe - it's focus is on stymying assistance to the police and ASIO and on keeping offenders safe from prosecution.
    Read it and weep.

    by Ganesh Sahathevan        NSW AG Mark Speakman defending his Cronulla seat In 2013 the then NSW Minister for Finance Greg Pearce was sacked by the then  NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell for not disclosing a conflict of interest when he appointed the former  Sydney University General Counsel Richard Fisher to the board of Sydney Water.  Fairfax Media reported the details:  Fairfax Media has been told the lawyer Richard Fisher ''picked up the tab'' for the party to celebrate Mr Pearce's marriage to Shauna Jarrett, which was held a year before the Coalition took power in NSW and Mr Pearce became minister for finance and services. It has emerged that Ms Jarrett reports to Mr Fisher at the University of Sydney, where he is the general counsel. This was not disclosed to cabinet before it endorsed Mr Fisher's appointment in what Mr O'Farrell described as a ''clear breach'' of the ministerial code of conduct. Mr O'Farrell said he dismissed Mr Pe...

    Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

    Image
     by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

    Government funding for the College Of Law PLT where students are assessed on the quality of their reflection on their work experience , not the quality of their work experience

    Image
     by Ganesh Sahathevan  The above has been extracted from the latest College Of Law Ltd's annual report.  The substantial government funding is provided via the Commonwealth's FEE HELP facility.  The Practical Legal Training (PLT)  which the College runs, and which is a prerequisite for admission to practise  in NSW, has the imprimatur  of the Chief Justice NSW, Tom Bathurst, in his capacity as Chairman of the the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board.  College Academic Director Lewis Patrick has said that in assessing the work experience component of the PLT  "  the College is not assessing the quality of (the student's) work experience, but rather the quality of (the student's)  reflections  on that experience . The College's PLT course is now mostly on-line, and there are problems with delivery and infrastructure. Its FEE HELP cashflow is being utilised to finance its expansion overseas.
