The dead hand of the Queen reaches out from the grave — to deny Bernard #Collaery’s appeal for ‘open justice’.
‘National security’ wins out over ‘open justice’, in the final judgement in the Collaery #TimorLeste spying case.
Ruling on behalf of the departed British Queen, an Australian judge has “concluded that it is in the interest of national security to make the redactions sought by the Attorney-General.”
This limit on “the application of the open justice principle is “where ‘exceptional and compelling considerations going to national security’ require that the confidentiality of certain matters be preserved”.

Bernard #Collaery case has raised real problems with Australia’s national security legislation and justice system.
“It is too early to come to any conclusion that the oppressive overreach of national security legislation, and its threat to the justice system is over.”
Oppressive secrecy needs more dashes of cold water yet - https://t.co/N8cYOZNmct
#TimorLeste
A quite significant victory for transparency and a major positive outcome of Bernard Collaery’s case.
‘Too much weight’ to ‘national security’ has been rejected in preference to open justice.
That’s one for the good team!

ACT court rules that both LNP and ALP governments pursued #WitnessK and #Collaery in secrecy, with no valid "national security" justification for the secrecy.
Now where is the apology, @albomp @MarkDreyfusKCMP ?
@noisywoman @DavidShoebridge @AustralianLabor Proving to be all talk and no walk.
I wonder if the #Collaery case was only dropped because the government didn’t want any parts of its very dirty laundry aired in public?
@BarbaraPocock Well the best examples I can think of are @Richard_D_Boyle, @MurdochCadell, #WitnessK & #Collaery.
They’ve become the examples what happens to decency, honesty & calling out unethical behaviour and though the public support them 100%, the Government & their agencies do not.
We see barrister Bernard #Collaery is still in the fight.
Showing up flaws in our Intelligence Agencies, & abuses and overreach.
“There is not a skerrick of evidence suggesting any concealed payments.”
The Australian this morning reports comments from #freeDanDuggan's barrister Bernard Collaery about the US claims of "money laundering" which involved Dan being paid into his CBA bank account and paying tax! “There is not a skerrick of evidence suggesting any concealed payments,’’ Mr Collaery said. “This is an opportunistic misuse of the term money-laundering as understood in the Australian legal system.’’ The report also looks at the IGIS Inquiry which it claims is examining what interactions Australia’s intelligence services had with Mr Duggan. Time to end this show trial and legal abomination @MarkDreyfusKCMP. #EnoughIsEnough
Open justice is on trial.
"Secret 'court-only' evidence should be banned in national security cases." Lawyers for Bernard #Collaery.

Bernard #Collaery trial highlights ‘prohibitive’ & ‘onerous’ government secrecy.
“There is a significant risk such provisions will lead to representatives declining to act, or the costs may increase to a position where clients cannot afford it.”

The hero’s are many.
The Timorese people recently awarded &thanked Bernard #Collaery for work to help Timor renegotiate a fairer oil&gas treaty.
On the cusp of independence #TimorLeste also thanked the global family of international activists with this plaque in People’s Park.
It will be to Australia’s everlasting shame if it cannot admit to its errors & crimes in Timor-Leste and make an apology, and reparations.
Bernard #Collaery’s welcome and decoration in #TimorLeste.
@Genevieveat19 Can take a while to address depraved activities of #LNPCorruptionParty but justice prevailed.
#TimorLeste sought justice from international court, exposing #Australia’s shame.
#Labor rescued #Collaery & #WitnessK.
We wait for #LNPCrooks to apologise to their victims. #Auspol
In #TimorLeste tomorrow Bernard #Collaery will receive the Order of Timor-Leste medal — the nation’s highest award to honour his principled stand for truth and justice.
Fine recognition for Collaery & WitnessK for their efforts in truth-telling.
Congratulations.
Reform is certainly needed to the PJCSI security remit — to allow it to examine the *reason* for specific intelligence operations, & to cross-examine a Minister’s motive for approving an operation — presently not overseen.
