Bernard Collaery’s War Against Secret Trials – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Morrison calls an ICAC investigation a ” kangaroo court” when it’s not even a trial. Yet, he pursues this case the ex-ACT AG with vigor and secrecy and it is court and not just an investigation. The hypocrisy of this government can be found at every turn their principles non existent.

This charade now continues its ghastly way back to the ACT Supreme Court. Even now, dates of the actual trial, times and so forth, have yet to be set. This will no doubt give prosecutors further time to cook up something. All rather galling coming from a government which has the temerity to complain about the way secret trials are conducted in other countries against its citizens.

The Conviction and Sentencing of Witness K – » The Australian Independent Media Network

The criminals behind the Timor-Leste operation remain at large. The wrong man was convicted. Senator for South Australia Rex Patrick released a sombre statement claiming to be “ashamed to be an Australian.” Collaery, for his part, has refused to plead guilty. His fate, largely being determined behind closed doors, is likely to be a harsher one.

Secret trials in Australia

Claims that the release of information poses a risk to national security can be used to avoid legitimate scrutiny of conduct. If ever there were reasons to suspect a cover-up by this government, the Bernard Collaery and Witness K court cases are prime examples, writes Ian Cunliffe.
