What a joke. A “Policy Proposal”.
Purported declarations by Australia of Romeos beyond Australian territory are unlawful even as a matter of Australia’s own domestic law. Full stop.
I’m no longer surprised at how many public officials have difficulty in comprehending that compliance with the law is not supposed to be optional. The concept of a “Policy Proposal” and consultation to deal with unlawful declarations is the product of a busted bureaucracy.
This is how Robodebt happened. Implement the “policy proposal” and the law be damned.
