Secretary of AG's Dept makes formal complaint about 'ASIO kidnapping' judge
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that 'Australia's top legal bureaucrat', the secretary of the Attorney-General's Department, had made a formal complaint to the Judicial Commission of NSW against Justice Michael Adams.
Adams J is the judge who previously held that two ASIO agents had unlawfully kidnapped and falsely imprisoned a young Sydney medical student who was suspected of terrorism offences.
This comes after the head of ASIO publicly defended the behavior of the officers involved 'by saying the agency has had to adapt to new laws after September 11.' Stuff and nonsense. Adams J held that the ASIO officers knew what they were doing was illegal and they did it anyway.
I'm not surprised that O'Sullivan is defending the jackbooted thugs he employs, but I am surprised that he hasn't come up with some more plausible excuses. Playing the 9/11 card is just weak.
