Blow to India travel ban challenge

The emergency determination making it unlawful for citizens and non-citizens alike to enter Australia if they had been to India in the 14 days prior came into force last Monday.

Gary Newman flew to India in March 2020 and has been there ever since. Picture: NCA NewsWire/James GourleyHe initially intended to stay the term of his 180-day visa but his plans were stymied by the pandemic. The first two of Mr Newman’s four arguments against the ban, alleging Mr Hunt had improperly used his powers under the Biosecurity Act, were thrown out by Justice Thomas Thawley on Monday.

He said the minister must have had evidence of a “real and serious risk” to Australia’s quarantine system presented by people transiting through third states from India to Australia in order for “a decision of this magnitude, this sensitivity, this extraordinary infringement on a fundamental right to be valid”.The government’s India travel ban is expected to end on May 15.

But Justice Thawley described the hypothetical as a “strange situation” and ruled Mr Hunt did not have to consider it.

You reap what you sow. I’f you choose to travel overseas during a world pandemic, then these sort of outcomes are the real risks you take.

Thank goodness

Old mate that started this was visiting mates and got stuck, what a fool. Stay there old man
