Ministers take customary photo with president; Netanyahu the ...

“A country where the prime minister appoints all the judges and is responsible for promoting and firing them has a name, it’s called a dictatorship.

PM seeks expanded powers to boot criminals

deport criminals coalition

If judges act according to the law and you don’t like their judgments. simply change the law. Further evidence the Morrison government has no regard for human rights. so if anyone is charged for civil disobedience say protesting against the government they can be deported if “foreign born” or “deemed a risk”. Morrison’s justification ” judges aren’t doing what Morrison wants”. Meanwhile Immigration in the past 8 years has become a total mess with a backlog of 330000 applications. We need to make sure we can “punt them out”. Given asylum seekers are already “deemed illegals” and aren’t of “Good Character”. It would seem Morrison wants no recourse for any appeals like the Biloela family detained for over 12 months.

Morrison’s Motive is clear however his definition of “objective laws” vague.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called for the need for objective tests to be able to deport foreign-born criminals convicted of serious offences. The Coalition government is planning to reintroduce laws to parliament on Wednesday that would close a loophole to migration character test laws. Under the proposal, visas for non-citizens will be refused or cancelled if they’ve been convicted of a serious crime that’s punishable for more than two years in prison, served less than 12 months in prison or are deemed a risk to the community. Mr Morrison said judges in deportation cases had often handed down lesser sentences to get around existing character test laws to avoid people getting deported. “Judges are handing down sentences which enables people to get around this, and we need an objective test,” he told Sydney radio station 2GB. “We want to make sure we can punt them.”
