Dreyfus backdates regulation to allow
deportation of harmless Australian
citizen Dan Duggan
When the People requested the Albanese authorities in 2022 to extradite former US Marines “High Gun” pilot-turned Australian citizen Dan Duggan, the federal government ought to have solely requested one query: is the crime they’re accusing Duggan of against the law in Australia? Put apart that he was an Australian citizen on the time of the alleged offense in 2012, has a Certificates of Lack of Nationality of the USA issued by the USA which states he “expatriated himself on 01-26-2012”, i.e. Australian Day 2012 when he was naturalised as an Australian citizen, and due to this fact was not below US jurisdiction however had the identical nationwide standing as the opposite Australians who supplied coaching on the Check Flight Academy of South Africa and who haven’t been charged with any crimes.
Cairns Information first posted about Dan Duggan’s plight after he was focused by the corrupt Biden regime greater than three years in the past.
Put apart that he’s particularly licensed by the Australian authorities to supply the type of coaching he did in South Africa below Australia’s “restricted class” air regulation, which means he can practice individuals in ex-military decommissioned plane which can be used for his or her aerodynamic, not army, properties, and that South Africa has the identical “restricted class” air regulation, which implies his actions had been completely authorized in each Australia and South Africa. And put apart that in 2012, Australia was conducting joint army workout routines with China, the USA was asking to hitch these workout routines, and China was the nation everybody was racing to do enterprise with, not an “enemy”.
All of these elements pale in significance in comparison with the core query of twin criminality—that it have to be against the law in each nations to qualify for extradition. It’s not, and the federal government knew it, however as an alternative of abiding by the extradition treaty’s requirement of twin criminality and refusing the request, Albanese selected to scapegoat Duggan to show his loyalty to the USA. His then-Legal professional-Common Mark Dreyfus retrospectively utilized an Australian regulation handed in 2018 to the alleged offence in 2012, to fake to fulfill the twin criminality criterion, so they may do America’s bidding. If the 2018 regulation actually utilized, nevertheless, it might imply Australian citizen Dan Duggan broke Australian regulation; so why hasn’t the Australian authorities charged him with against the law? No less than then he would qualify for authorized assist! They haven’t, as a result of it doesn’t.
To get away with this travesty, the federal government is counting on the local weather of anti-China political hysteria to idiot the media and residents into wanting the opposite method.
That’s why we want a Dan Duggan watch. Twice, Mark Dreyfus accredited Dan’s extradition below cowl of Christmas—first in 2022, after which after intensive appeals, once more in 2024. The federal government calculated this outrage wouldn’t get consideration. When Dreyfus did it the second time, in December 2024, there was even the chance that as a result of the courts had been closed over Christmas-New 12 months, and Dan was eligible for transportation from 1 January, the household wouldn’t get an opportunity to take out an injunction to cease it so they may enchantment.
Now, his case hinges on the decide’s ruling from his enchantment heard on 16 October. We have to pre-empt new Legal professional-Common Michele Rowland from copying Dreyfus, by flooding her workplace with calls and emails on daily basis to demand justice for the Duggans and that she not extradite him below cowl of Christmas. That is finally a battle for Australia’s sovereignty, and Dan Duggan’s solely defenders usually are not his authorities, however his fellow residents.
