Abstract | There have been recent calls for the re-introduction of a system of internment in Australia for those suspected of terrorism. Internment is not unprecedented in Australia, having been practised in the early years of the 20th century and during World War II. It was also infamously used in the United States after Pearl Harbour, and features in British legal history. The paper concludes there are significant constitutional issues with a member of the executive exercising a power by which an individual would be detained based on suspected future wrongdoing, in the absence of any finding of guilt. |
