Convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika could be released from prison in the next eight weeks after he successfully appealed against the stripping of his Australian citizenship in the high court. The decision of a majority of the court on Wednesday struck down another part of Coalition-era powers, following a similar ruling in June 2022 that found suspected terrorists cannot be punished by ministers removing their citizenship. Benbrika, an Algerian-born cleric, was convicted of terror offences in 2008 and was due for release in 2020, but has since remained in detention under a controversial post-sentence detention regime. His current detention order expires on 24 December. https://amp.theguardian.com/austral...ip-convicted-terrorist-wins-high-court-battle Nothing more important than having the moral high ground. Update: The moral high ground has been blown up by terrorists.
I ain't reading all that, but apparently he's a dual citizen. Background from Wikipedia: Benbrika was born in Algeria: various sources give his age as 45 or 46 as of November 2005. He was trained as an aircraft engineer. He arrived in Australia in May 1989 on a one-month visitor's permit, on which he twice gained extensions, and settled in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, an area with a large Muslim population. After his permit expired in 1990 he became a prohibited non-citizen, then spent the next six years fighting through the Immigration Review Tribunal appeals process, for the right to stay. During his hearings he told the tribunal of his "love of the Australian lifestyle".[2] In 1992, Benbrika married a Lebanese woman who was an Australian citizen, with whom he had seven children.[3] He was granted Australian residence in 1996 and became a citizen in 1998, although he is reported to have retained his Algerian citizenship as well. He had been on government welfare benefits for some years and this has become a topic of debate. I'm not exactly anti-immigrant, but unrepentant terrorists collecting welfare? Fuck'em. Fuck natural born terrorists as well, put them on an iceberg and push them out to sea. Aboriginal folks were cookin' when they came up with banishment as a punishment.
I have been tired of dual citizens for a long time. Either you are a citizen or you aren't. A person who maintains their citizenship to their original country is a schemer planning on going back home after they fuck their new lives in their new country over. If you cannot commit to your new country then there are many good people behind you who will. Anyone who says no to giving up their country of origen gets to remain on their visa or be deported.
well, we are magical creatures with great power especially when we have a can of cheapo mass produced bubbly pisswater.
