Hobart-based barrister Greg Barns, who is representing terror suspects in the Supreme Court of Victoria, said Australian anti-terror laws had allowed Dr Haneef’s case to become a farce.
“While we can point the finger at politicians, the police and lawyers in the Haneef debacle, we need to focus on the fact that the anti-terror laws themselves are fundamentally flawed,” Mr Barns said.
“These laws provide too much scope for investigators to go on a fishing expedition and spend weeks turning an individual’s life upside down in the quest for evidence, which is what has happened here. And there is no effective check and balance on investigations under these laws. If it had not been for the media in the Haneef case, this man may well have been framed.”
Apparently someone made a “mistake” and invented the evidence… but no one is sure yet who that was. Let the cover-up begin and the scapegoats be slaughtered…
