ABC Radio National: Preventative Detention legislation has passed. What happens next? (7 December 2023)
The federal government will be desperately hoping the passage of its Preventative Detention bill last night will bring an end to weeks of political drama that's followed the High Court's decision to invalidate indefinite detention.
But it's unclear how many of the 148 people released from indefinite detention could actually be re-incarcerated under the new laws, or how long that process would take. And it's also not clear whether the rushed legislation will survive the inevitable high court challenge.
Guest: Kim Rubenstein, Professor in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law at the University of Canberra
Abul Rizvi, former Deputy Secretary of the Immigration Department
ABC Conversations: Kim and the Constitution, with Richard Fidler (22 August 2023)
Kim Rubenstein is a constitutional expert and a professor of law at the University of Canberra.
Later this year, we'll be voting on a proposed change to the Australian constitution.
But many Australians are unaware of its existence; how it works and what it does even though it underpins so much of our way of life.
Kim explains how the constitution came to be and more about the underlying principles and assumptions of the people who framed it more than a century ago.
