| #4 thanks Fred, Rantburg - i tried to post a couple of times but it wasnt working for some reason it is landmark because it has not been tested before. Where do the religious have to draw the line and conform to secular law? In the end that question, though a consideration, was not a deciding factor as HT are an unregistered political party and the meeting was a public meeting open to all, not a religious ceremony It is also landmark as it established liability for Ismail al-Wahwah of HT Australia They have evaded legal liability for anything because they are not registered as any type of organisation so their members can just claim they didn't know and are not responsible for the illegal activities of the group. If anyone is interested they can read the judgement here https://www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/56d79c34e4b0e71e17f4fd06 |

| #1 How the feck can this be described as a "landmark decision" - it's Australia - are they that far gone? |
