I cannot stress enough how big this decision is. Al Kateb v Godwin allowed the Australian government to imprison people indefinitely even where they had committed no crime.

Strong start for the new Chief Justice 🤗

Indefinite immigration detention ruled unlawful in landmark Australian high court decision

Decision overturns 20-year-old precedent and could trigger immediate release of 92 people, with detention of 340 others also in doubt

Excellent decision. Unbelievable that this could ever happen in a so-called civilised country.
