Seems to be largely regarding the Minister's declaration that Malaysia is fit to send asylum seekers to. High court didn't agree with the argument - needed to be 'more rigorous'.

Any agreement between Malaysia and Australia that outlined the necessities of such a deal was not viewed by the HCA the same way that the govt's lawyers did. The HCA didn't think that any proposed deal would be upheld - pertaining to the rights of the asylum seekers.

Can't wait to hear Abbott et al going on about this now...

High Court rules against Malaysia swap
August 31, 2011 - 2:33PM
High Court judgment
The federal government's Malaysian people swap deal has been ruled unlawful by the High Court, in a 5-2 judgment.

Chief Justice Robert French said the court ordered Immigration Minister Chris Bowen and his department to be restrained from sending asylum seekers to Malaysia.

''The declaration made ... was made without power and is invalid,'' Justice French said.

The government had wanted to send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia in exchange for 4000 already processed refugees in Malaysia.

5-2, but I can't find who dissented yet.

Unaccompanied minor's can't be taken from Australia without the minister's written agreement. Looks like a challenge on legislation might be on, which will be fun for this minority govt.

OK, so let's not let this creep up on us at the last moment this time. Are we going to stick with the tired, old 4.0 numbering or go with something new for the thread's next iteration.

AusG4F perhaps :p

We missed our chances to get AusGAF 3D and other cool ideas last time as we waited too late for VOOK to see our suggestions, so let's do it right this time! We should also take banner and new subtitle submissions, although I can't think of much for that right now, at least until the R rating comes in for real.

Hearing now it was 6-1 HCA decision. That's some emphatic disagreement.

Refugee lawyers asked the High Court to strike down the deal, arguing that the Immigration Minister did not have the power to send asylum seekers to a country that has no legal obligations to protect them.

They also argued that sending unaccompanied minors to Malaysia would breach the minister's duty of care as their legal guardian to act in their best interests.

But Commonwealth Solicitor-General Stephen Gageler argued the government could lawfully declare Malaysia a safe third country even though it had no domestic nor international legal obligations to protect asylum seekers.

A majority of the full bench ruled Mr Bowen's declaration that Malaysia was an appropriate country to which to send aslyum seekers was invalid.

lol Holy.


Spoiler contains disbelief at Manly v Melb incident that I only just watched. If you're a passionate NRL supporter, don't read it.

What a crock of crap that was. Handbags and lipstick at 12 paces followed by nancy slap handing while walking off? And it's cost the clubs $50k each? What a joke of a sport.
