NSW: NSW Judicial Commission backs Judge Adams
The New South Wales Judicial Commission is backing Justice MICHAEL ADAMS against federal
government calls for him to be disciplined.
Justice ADAMS ruled two Australian secret service agents kidnapped and falsely imprisoned
the Sydney doctor IZHAR UL-HAQUE on trumped-up terrorism charges.
A leaked letter .. obtained by Fairfax newspapers .. the commission told the head of
the federal Attorney-General's Department ROBERT CORNALL .. Justice ADAMS acted within
his rights in ruling the detention of Dr UL-HAQUE .. and interviews carried out by the
two unnamed ASIO officers .. had been improper and illegal.
