[AusNOG] the legal consequences of ignoring compliance

[Beeson, Ayden]

True, but while they can overturn a bad ruling based on an interpretation of the law, they can’t remove the laws themselves or change them if they are written in such a way that means you can’t appeal it (or wouldn’t win it).

Unfortunately setting a precedent for one particular case situation may not fix the law for most other situations.

That’s not even mentioning the cost involved to actually get up to that level of appeal.

(Correct me if I’m wrong here, I am no law expert and could be completely wrong about them being able to change laws)

Also yeah I’m expecting a STOP THREAD anytime now ☺

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Cynic time here:



That may have been true some time ago, but these days laws are far more likely to represent the agenda

of the political party making them, or in some cases (seemingly more and more) the agenda of the group

financially backing said party.



It's a sad but true symptom of a political system that just doesn't seem to have another control built

in for the people to show their desires and have them actioned appropriately.


That's why we have the High Court, to challenge idiocy in law.
