COVID-19 Coercive Govt Action Absence Judicial Intervention

About
During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world imposed draconian measures on their citizens to control the spread of the virus. The measures imposed in Australia were amongst those considered to be the harshest in the world. Individuals and businesses suffered significantly. The severe restriction of individual liberties that the public health measures represented would ordinarily have been considered intolerable in a free and democratic society. For that reason, they were arguably unlawful. Of all the serious court challenges that were brought to challenge the lawfulness of government action in Australia, none were successful. In this seminar, Dr Jason Harkess reflects upon three of those unsuccessful court challenges: Loeilo v Giles (2020) 63 VR , Kassam v Hazzard; Henry v Hazzard (2021) 106 NSWLR 520, Djokovic v Minister for Immigration, CitizensPresenter: Dr Jason Harkess
