This joint conference brings together members of the judiciary, academics, policymakers and other experts to consider current issues and challenges in the Australian justice system.
The 2020 High Court decision in Love v Commonwealth of Australia; Thoms v Commonwealth of Australia [2020] HCA 3 (Love; Thoms) concerned the scope of the Commonwealth’s Constitutional powers to make laws in relation to ‘aliens’. The majority of the Court held that Aboriginal people cannot be defined as alien for the purposes of immigration and deportation laws.
