| Keelty blackout call under fire
LAWYERS, civil liberties groups and the Federal Opposition have rejected the Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty's call for restricted media coverage of counter-terrorism cases.
Ross Ray, QC, the president of the Law Council of Australia, said while the terrorism threat meant the community had to accept greater police powers, it also demanded a higher level of public scrutiny. "That is the price we have been asked to pay. The price the police must pay for assuming greater powers is an increased level of public scrutiny," Mr Ray said. "Without that scrutiny, the hopeless case against [former terrorism suspect] Dr Haneef would, almost certainly, have been abandoned or dismissed by a court at some point but perhaps not for weeks, months or even years.
