Parliament should have the power to define “aliens”, including to allow the deportation of Aboriginal non-citizens or even dual nationals, the Australian government has argued.
Donaghue said this was an “extreme example” that was politically “unlikely” but, yes, parliament would have that power – subject to one qualification, that it may not be fair to be ejected from the Australian polity if it was not possible to renounce foreign citizenship. Craig Lenehan, also representing the commonwealth, argued “there is no universal one-size-fits-all test of Aboriginality”, but a test for the purposes of immigration law should include biological descent because it provided an “unambiguous” limit.
Edelman suggested Donaghue was isolating “slight differences” between the judgments, adding that identifying common reasoning “since first year law school” has always been about finding the level on which the judges agree.
Time to make the courts rule all liberals Stateless!!!
