Gray on 'Executive Detention in the Time of a Pandemic'

 Professor Anthony Gray of the USQ School of Law and Justice has published an important new article titled 'Executive Detention in the Time of a Pandemic'.  The article appears in Volume 27(4) of the Australian Journal of Administrative Law.  Here is the abstract:


"The global COVID-19 pandemic has raised many important legal issues in Australia. One was the legality of proposed detention of an individual at the behest of an authorised person, on the basis the person was considered likely to breach the lockdown measures. Though the Victorian Government eventually abandoned this contentious proposal, it raised significant controversy, and is considered worthy of examination in this article."
