Morrison's National Cabinet Unlawfully Preventing Australians from Returning Home
Written by Augusto Zimmermann - Sunday, 20 September 2020
Some quotes from the article.
The Prime Minister is currently using such a “National Cabinet” to ban Australians from leaving their country.
Scott Morrison oversees a regime that has enforced prohibitions matched only by some of the world’s worst totalitarian regimes, particularly Cuba and North Korea.[3]
As a result, Australians currently need a special certificate even to attend a funeral or seeing a relative who is dying overseas.
Now, 57,000 Australians have so far been allowed to leave the country, but 16,000 have not and numerous others did not even try because they know their applications would be rejected.
Relying on a few experts, politicians are using extraordinary powers to violate fundamental rights and to destroy jobs and much of the productive sector, while leaving the public sector intact.[9]
These privileged individuals have chosen a course of action that are destructive of the rule of law, although there were far more reasonable alternatives.[10]
These actions of the so called ‘National Cabinet’ are profoundly unconstitutional.
These actions of the so called ‘National Cabinet’ are profoundly unconstitutional.
These are not powers intended to be exercised in its present form.
Since a truly democratic government is always bound to exercise its power according to the preservation of fundamental legal rights and freedoms, such measures effectively violate both the letter and spirit of the Australian Constitution.
The Australian people have a lawful right demand the immediate lifting of these measures and the full restoration of their fundamental freedoms.
