Podcast appearances and mentions of Julian Burnside

Who are the least trusted people in society? Journalists? Car-sellers? Bankers?Nope. Politicians are top of the list. And you only have to look at the headlines to see why: Partygate here, Donald Trump's false election fraud claims in the US, the claims of WMD before the Iraq war in 2003, and of course the original “gate” – Watergate. But surely politicians have ALWAYS lied? Isn't it just what happens when you have to persuade people to vote for you? Or have Trump and Johnson taken us into a new era of almost instinctive dishonesty? Is there grave danger in assuming our leaders are lying to us? Does it undermine democracy? Phil and Roger hear from barrister Julian Burnside how a big lie about migrants won an Australian election in 2002, from former US Congressman John Leboutillier on how dishonesty has poisoned political discourse in America, and from Professor Alan Renwick of UCL's Constitution Unit on the risks to the UK's democracy from the death of trust Hosted on Acast.

Julian Burnside AO QC is a barrister, a human rights and refugee advocate and an author. He practices principally in commercial litigation, trade practices and administrative law. He has been involved in some of Australia's most significant and seminal court cases. In 2009 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for "... service as a human rights advocate, particularly for refugees and asylum seekers, to the Arts as a patron and fundraiser, and to the law." On the podcast we discuss the potential extradition of Julian Assange and look at many of the issues surrounding the case.

Joe Biden’s recent calls to have Julian Assange stand trial in the US have renewed debate at home about free speech, whistle-blower protection and Australia’s loyalty to American interests. Hear from three champions for truth—human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, activist and former Greens senator Scott Ludlam, and Assange’s own lawyer Jen Robinson—about the long shadow of WikiLeaks, the lingering fate of Assange and the consequences of covert power.

The past president of Liberty Victoria, famous barrister and asylum seeker campaigner Julian Burnside supports curtailing the right to protest in favour of the right to be protected from covid.

Australian parliamentarians, from across the party divide, believe it's time for the United States to stop its pursuit of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. Assange remains in a UK prison, despite defeating a US extradition request. If the US appeal succeeds, he faces espionage charges, and the possibility of a long jail term. Should Assange be freed from prison, and the charges against him dropped? What are the free speech implications for journalists, news outlets, and publishers? Do we need additional protections for whistle-blowers and the media?

Lawyer Bernard Collaery faces jail for allegedly helping his former client, intelligence officer Witness K, expose Australia's bugging of the East Timorese government to gain the upper hand during oil and gas negotiations. His ongoing legal case has been described as a grave threat to freedom of speech at home. Discussing his new book, Oil Under Troubled Water: Australia's Timor Sea Intrigue, Bernard appears alongside Julian Burnside, with host Eleanor Hall, to explore the fragile, fraught and vitally important relationship between our government, the legal system and whistleblowers.

Welcome back to another serving of Snackpod! We're trying things a little differently so we're starting off this week with... Aperitifs: Matthew Guy is back; Lyle Shelton is disendorsed by God; Women's Safety Summit was pretty depressing (more of this in the next story); Kristina K Keneally is parachuted into the Lower House.  Fashy Australia: (CW from 13:30-24:30 to for discussion of sexual assault and systemic misogyny) The Human Rights Commission job has been handed to Lorraine Finlay, a terrible conservative Liberal from WA. We also talk about Scott Morrison not just abdicating responsibility to deal with violence against women, but he's actively making things worse.   First Nations/Positivity Corner: Two First Nations women are standing as Greens candidates. Dorina Cox will replace Rachel Siewert in the Federal Senate, while Dianne Stokes has just been elected to the Barkly Regional Council in the NT.  SPOTW: We have a load of posts! Shoutouts to Steph, Effy, and Frank, with whatever the opposite of a shoutout is to Julian Burnside.  Potluck: this is the segment where we hear from our audience! This week we have a great potluck from Jack (listen to him on the Spooky Speaks podcast!) about Universities and their crappy employment practices.  Mains: The High Court - Australia's highest court, dontchaknow - has ruled that media companies are at least potentially liable for defamatory statements made on their Facebook posts. We discuss it from a few different angles.  And you'll have to wait until the end for our Pupdate!  Please support us over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod 

Најзначајније информације из Аустралије, Србије и света - на једном месту.

Због сигурности јавног здравља ступила на снагу привремена забрана уласка у земљу за све који су у протеклих 14 дана боравили у Индији. Држављанима који покушају да допутују преко неке треће земље запрећена казна затвора до пет година и висока новчана глоба. Борци за заштиту људских права оценили овај потез као неморалан и расистички, а премијер и министри кажу да је приоритет заштитити становништво Аустралије.

Last week, CNN was exposed (yet again) as a propaganda outfit designed to scare the public. Their technical director admitted that with COVID-19 coming to an end they'd move the circus to focus on climate change. Someone at the ABC has been reading their mail. And meet Australia's dumbest lawyer. Who just happens to be a QC.

In 2009 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for "... service as a human rights advocate, particularly for refugees and asylum seekers, to the Arts as a patron and fundraiser, and to the law." On the podcast we discuss the Australian Government's treatment of refugees and Indigenous Australians, amongst other things.

Julian Burnside wrote this week: Proposed sections 250 and 253 have the effect of permitting police to exercise public health powers and emergency powers without the direction of an authorised officer. Police are not public health officials and do not have the expertise to determine whether action is necessary to eliminate or reduce a serious risk to public health. Further, we have seen that a lot of fines for breaching the directions have been issued erroneously and at times, it seems, capriciously. With the increased arsenal of powers, Liberty Victoria is concerned that we may see an increase in the severity of consequences (beyond substantial fines) flowing from similarly erroneous or capricious decisions – including arrests and restricting a person’s movement. Even more worryingly, proposed s 252 introduces a preventative detention regime which appears to have little protections or oversight, and provides far too much discretion to people who may lack the necessary expertise to determine risk, including police officers. The Bill does not specify what conduct may give rise to a “reasonable belief” that a person “is likely to refuse or fail to comply with” a direction. Again, police officers are not trained public health officials and will not have the expertise to determine the likelihood of a person’s conduct presenting a public health risk. Further, the period of detention is not specified in the Bill and there is no oversight regulation built into this power. It is to be determined based on what the designated authorised person, including a police officer, considers and if they reasonably believe the person remains a ‘high risk person’."

Back in October 2018, my friend Liam and I sat down with Julian Burnside AO QC. Julian is a barrister, human rights and asylum seeker advocate, and has recently turned to politics as a way of making change.What's most curious about our interview with Julian is that he told us again and again that he wasn't interested in politics, and that he wasn't willing to comment on political topics (outside human rights and asylum seeker related themes).  

Hong Kong authorities warned voters choosing pro-democracy candidates in the primaries ahead of September elections that they could fall foul of new National Security legislation. A prominent former barrister says the new laws are designed to confuse. And, the Bernard Collaery trial. How should Australia's court system balance open justice with keeping state secrets?

Julian Burnside AO QC is an Australian barrister, human rights and refugee advocate, and author. He is known for his staunch opposition to the mandatory detention of asylum seekers and has provided legal counsel in a wide variety of high-profile offshore-detention legal cases. In this podcast, we delved into Julian's experience representing refugees and asylum seekers against the Australian government and its departments - principally the ‘Department of Immigration and Border Protection' (now subsumed into the new 'Department of Home Affairs'). Throughout, we discussed the importance of human rights advocacy, explore his impact in the Tampa case and beyond and prompted his reflections on the past and present detention policies as well as some of the rationales put forward to justify them. Finally, Julian sheds light on what we can look forward to in the future and where he sees the need for change.

Podcast recording of the event: La Trobe University - Ideas & Society ProgramAustralia and the refugees who come by boat Convened by La Trobe University’s Emeritus Professor Robert ManneTwo of Australia’s most respected social justice fighters, Julian Burnside AO QC and Father Frank Brennan SJ AO have been following Australia’s asylum seeker policy for decades. On many questions connected to asylum seekers who come by boat their viewpoints differ. They speak to the following questions: What should Australia’s asylum seeker/refugee policy be? What ought to be done to help those refugees living in Australia on temporary protection visas? How can the lives of those still on Nauru and Manus Island be saved? And most deeply, how can the cruelty of Australia’s asylum seeker policy be explained?Kurdish writer Behrouz Boochani, author of No Friend But the Mountains, addresses the six year ordeal faced by those still marooned on Nauru or Manus Island. Behrouz believes very strongly that the voice of the refugees has not been heard in this debate. He participates in the discussion of the policy options and the moral imperatives in Australia’s discussions of refugee policy in general and in particular on the fate of those who have been detained on Manus Island and Nauru over the past six years. DISCLAIMER: The content of this podcast are presented for archival and informational purposes.

Bob Carr has hit back at Attorney-General Christian Porter over claims that Carr's Australia-China Research Institute was a foreign actor and Carr a useful idiot for Chinese propagandists. But if it looks like a Peking duck and ... you know the rest.And Julian Burnside resigns from the sexist and racist Savage Club to join a drum circle with the Greens. Bad choice, Julian, bad choice.

Julian Burnside is formally running for the Greens and thank God, because we have the most frightening report into climate change you'll ever hear - we need to act NOW! ;-)

Labor's DV policy is good, so there's no reason to hide it behind DV victims. And Kristina Kenneally flagrantly misrepresents john Howard on Q&A. politics is getting nasty again.
