The Wigs

S3 E3 British Post Office Scandal + AJL20 and ACCC v Google


Listen Later

On this episode, the Wigs discuss the recent High Court decision Commonwealth of Australia v. AJL20 [2021] HCA 21, A narrow win for the Commonwealth against a refugee whose visa was canceled on character grounds, and a case that has potentially big implications for the protection of liberty in this country. Secondly, a world-first in enforcement against big tech - the Wigs delve into the Federal Court of Australia decision, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Google LLC (No 2) [2021] FCA 367, in which the consumer protection body, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission succeeded in showing Google has engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and made false or misleading representations to consumers about the personal location data the company collects, keeps and uses when using their Android phone and tablet devices. Finally, what has been described as "the most serious series of miscarriages of justice in recent English history" - a scandal which has finally been brought into the light after a long tail of destruction: "for 20 years the Post Office hijacked the English criminal justice system and used it, essentially as part of the Post Office for its own purposes. In the process, it ruined the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of innocent people". See Josephine Hamilton and Others v Post Office Limited [2021] EWCA Crim 577.
