This story is about a new Federal Court ruling that could “give terrorism suspects access to highly classified national security information.” (SMH May 7)
“The submission, reported in The Australian, noted the dangerous precedent Federal Court judge Ross Sundberg’s decision set in dealing with terrorism suspects, saying the “issues raised by this appeal are of substantial public importance”.“If Sundberg judgment accurately states the law, ASIO may be required to disclose national security information to the very people – people who are assessed as risks to national security – to whom it is most important that such information is not disclosed,” argues the submission.”http://www.smh.com.au/news/NATIONAL/Terror-suspects-may-get-classified-info/2007/05/07/1178390169935.html
