From next month, Australia is to soften its controversial deportation policy - described by our government as "corrosive" and by human rights groups as "draconian" and "inhumane". Under Section 501 of the Australian Migration Act, amended 8 years ago by the former Liberal government, someone sent to jail for 12 months or longer can have their visa cancelled, and be deported to the country of their birth - even if they have barely lived there. Former Home Affairs Minister, now opposition leader, Peter Dutton famously referred to the policy as "taking out the trash". More than 2500 people born in New Zealand have been deported back here, many without any family connections here. So what will the new approach mean? Greg Barns is a Melbourne based Senior Council barrister and spokesman for the Australian Lawyers Alliance.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is facing extradition to the United States after this was given the green light by the British Government. Assange faces charges of espionage over the publication of classified information about US actions in the Iraq War. Barrister Greg Barns has worked pro bono on Assagne's case for the last nine years as part of the Australian Assange campaign. Barns argues the Assange issue “goes to fundamental questions like freedom of the press and freedom of speech.” The election of the Albanese government has reignited calls for Australia to do more to try to bring Assange home. “We've certainly been heartened by the approach taken by the new government,” Barns says. “I think Anthony Albanese himself has been committed for some time now in his public statements and certainly been supportive privately of Assange's position. He's made that clear in a number of statements with a theme really that this has gone long enough.” “There has been a marked change in rhetoric on the part of Mr Albanese, but also I think in his very telling statement that he did not want to pursue this matter through megaphone diplomacy, which we respect, because of course you're dealing with Australia's closest ally.” “He wants to do something, but he wants to do it in a way that respects the friendship between Australia and the United States.” On what US President Joe Biden should consider when it comes to the relationship with Australia and the issue of Assange, Barns notes Biden has “given a number of speeches now talking about democracy and the importance of democratic values”. “This is an opportunity to assert those values by saying that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are fundamentally important in a democracy and in the democratic world. And so there are certainly plenty of avenues and plenty of reasons why President Biden might deal with this matter.” “This case has gone on too long. There are fundamental principles at stake and it's time to end it.”

Phil Cleary talks with barrister Greg Barns, Independent federal politician Andrew Wilkie, political scientist Ken White, and football identity Sam Newman about Julian Assange and the campaign to bring him home. We also hear from Julian Assange himself.

The Morrison Government is set to make changes to its Migrant Act, which could see more 501 deportees come here. It gives Australia's Immigration Minister more power to cancel visas and deport people under the 'character test'. Leveraging off the Djokovic drama, Minister Alex Hawke says it shouldn't be easier to deport an international sports star than a convicted criminal. But, Greg Barns from the Australian Lawyers Alliance told Mike Hosking there's no justification for it. “It will lead to further dislocation to families, it will lead to injustices and it's pure politics.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After almost a decade in confinement, Julian Assange is a shadow of the man he used to be. Fighting against extradition requests to the United States took a toll on his physical and mental health, while also compromising WikiLeaks' ability to continue its operations. With the latest ruling by a British court to hand him over to Washington, what's in store for one of the world's most recognized whistleblowers? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Greg Barns, an Australian lawyer and an adviser to the Australian Assange campaign.

Reporter Mimi Hoffman talks to Eileen Culleton, the founder of a national campaign for law-reform for the crime of murder with sexual assault.

Mimi also speaks to Greg Barns, the national criminal justice spokesmen for the Australian Lawyers Alliance, about the law reform.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This discussion includes topics that some listeners may find confronting. Left to right: Nicole Precel, Katrina Marson, Rena Ou Yang and Greg Barns at the Wheeler Centre. The Invisible Crime: Are We Failing Victims of Sexual Violence? is an award-winning multimedia feature documentary made in 2019 by a team of investigative and data journalists from the Age and Sydney Morning Herald. The documentary explores why sexual assault is under-reported and examines the myriad barriers to successful prosecutions against assailants. It provides data-driven context on how and why the legal system so often fails to deliver justice to victims. In this conversation, hosted by Age journalist Nicole Precel, we pick up where the documentary left off, discussing the fundamental principles that underpin our criminal law. How are sexual-assault victims disadvantaged by the onus of proof? We also take a hard look at the concept of consent and examined how social attitudes towards it are changing. How do legal definitions of consent vary between states and territories – and how can we get better at teaching, and defining, consent in our everyday lives?

While most think of Australia as a successful democracy underpinned by liberal values, it’s increasingly clear that we may not be immune from the global rise of xenophobic and nativist forces. Some are concerned that populism is pulling the Liberal Party and sections of our media to the right and will have implications for years to come. Associate Professor David Blaazer speaks with The Rise of the Right author and one-time Liberal Party adviser Greg Barns, writer for the ABC and Guardian Australia Jennine Khalik, former Greens senator Scott Ludlam and political writer George Megalogenis about the issue.

El padre de Julian Assange instó al gobierno de Australia a ayudar a su hijo, pidiéndole que llevaran a casa al fundador de WikiLeaks. Hablando por primera vez desde el arresto de su hijo en Londres, a principios de esta semana, John Shipton le dijo al Herald Sun  sobre su “sorpresa” al ver que su hijo fue expulsado de la Embajada de Ecuador por la policía británica. Hizo un llamado al gobierno australiano y al primer ministro Scott Morrison para que tomen medidas para ayudar a su hijo “de una manera sutil”. CNN confirmó con el asesor de Assange, Greg Barns, que la cita de Shipton, publicada en el Herald Sun, es precisa. Sus comentarios se producen después de que más de 70 parlamentarios pidieron al Secretario de Interior del Reino Unido, Sajid Javid, que entregara a Assange a las autoridades de Suecia si ese país reabre su investigación sobre las denuncias de violación y agresión sexual y solicita su extradición. Assange niega las acusaciones que llegan desde Suecia. El fundador de Wikileaks se encuentra actualmente recluido en la prisión de Belmarsh en Londres, conocida por la presencia de sospechosos de terrorismo de alto perfil y extremistas como Abu Hamza y Anjem Choudary. La prisión, en el sureste de Londres, es una de las tres prisiones locales de alta seguridad en Inglaterra y Gales.  RT   NO QUIEREN A BOLSONARO EN EL MUSEO.

La compañía American Airlines informó este domingo que prolongará hasta el 19 de agosto la prohibición de vuelo para los aparatos Boeing 737 MAX, lo que supondrá la cancelación de aproximadamente 115 vuelos diarios, informa Reuters. La aerolínea cree que este modelo de aviones se volverá a certificar antes de esta fecha, pero quiere garantizar la seguridad "para la temporada alta de viajes y brindar confianza a los clientes y miembros del equipo en lo relativo a sus planes de viaje". En marzo, el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, anunció que el país suspende todos los vuelos de los aviones Boeing 737 MAX 8 y MAX 9 hasta nuevo aviso, después de que en menos de seis meses dos aparatos de estos modelos se vieran implicados en sendos accidentes mortales.

Hamilton celebró su segundo triunfo del año al imponerse a Bottas y al alemán Sebastian Vettel, cuarto en la temporada detrás del holandés Max Verstappen, que se ubicó cuarto con su Red Bull en Shangai. F1 LATAM EL RETORNO DEL TIGRE. La remontada de Tiger Woods finalizó con su quinto título de Masters y el 15º torneo principal poniendo fin a una sequía de campeonatos de casi 11 años. Woods firmó una cuarta tarjeta con 69 golpes (tres bajo par), para un total de 274. Fue un triunfo monumental para Woods, que no había ganado un campeonato importante desde que su vida personal comenzó a desmoronarse en 2009. En el campo de golf, sufrió una serie de lesiones en la espalda y las piernas que provocaron una adicción a los analgésicos y culminaron en un dolor tan intenso que, antes de la cirugía en 2017, había cuestionado si podía volver a jugar profesionalmente. Woods, quien con 43 años se convirtió en el segundo ganador más antiguo del Masters en Augusta National, después de que Jack Nicklaus, de 46 años, en 1986, logró el mayor éxito en uno de los cuatro torneos principales de golf en el Abierto de Estados Unidos de 2008.   LA VANGUARDIA | BBC   ASISTENTE DE VELOCIDAD OBLIGATORIO EN LA UNIÓN EUROPEA.
