My new article in Public Law Review, where I argue that it is possible for a constitutionally valid statute to lose its validity over time as underlying facts change.

Can be of interest many contexts including implied freedom and the treaty power. #auslaw #publiclaw #auscon

Very excited that my book on general principles of law is OUT!!! 14 years after I started the PhD (and even longer since the honours thesis that really begun it all). https://t.co/W21pjRjHaG

The High Court will hear (probably at the end of June) a constitutional challenge to A.C.T. covid legislation that allows non-jury trial of indictable A.C.T. offences without consent of defendant. Based on both Kable and s80. ANU's James Stellios for the challenger.

Transcript in the chambers hearing in @highcourtofaus before Gordon J on non-consensual non-jury trials in the ACT: https://t.co/LhmsMnoUnh.

While the court deferred making final orders for judge alone trial in UD on 20 April, two days later the court made orders for judge alone trial, again over objections of both the crown and the accused, in R v Coleman. #auslaw #covid19 https://t.co/Euh3Bsph6O

[Ben Ye @BenYe6]

ACT Supreme Court proposes to order judge alone trial over objection of both Crown and Accused. First case of this kind since the passage of the #COVID19 emergency legislation. Orders deferred pending determination of validity of legislation #auslaw https://t.co/jyZeUnJE3S

[Ben Ye @BenYe6]

Serious implication for right to trial by jury in ACT. If the court found the legislation to be valid, a challenge to court of appeal, and ultimately appeal to High Court on both Human Rights Act and Ch III grounds are likely.

@steve_mcdee Would it just be an exercise of non-statutory executive power to exclude aliens, like tempa? Not the most satisfying answer but still...
