The critical point is that the Constitution places the right of silence beyond the reach of government. The Fifth Amendment stands between the citizen and his government. Ullmann v.

  • Blackbirding Cases
    SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES Home About JSPL Submission Information Current Issue Journal of Search South Pacific Law Volume 4 2000 2008 2007 SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES, 1869-1871 2006 2005 By Reid Mortensen[*] 2004 1. INTRODUCTION 2003 2002 This article examines major prosecutions in New South Wales and 2001 Queensland for blackbirding practices in Melanesian waters, and early regulation under the Imperial Kidnapping Act that was meant to 2000 correct problems those prosecutions raised. It considers how legal 1999 argument and adjudication appropriated the political debate on the question whether the trade in Melanesian labour to Queensland and 1998 Fiji amounted to slaving, and whether references to slaving in 1997 Australian courts only compounded the difficulties of deterring recruiting abuses in Melanesia. It is suggested that, even though the Imperial Government conceived of the Kidnapping Act as a measure to deal with slaving, its success in Australian courts depended on its avoiding any reference to the idea of slavery in the legislation itself. This is developed in three parts. Part 1 provides the social context, introducing the trade in Melanesian labour for work in Queensland. Part 2 explores the prosecutions brought under the slave trade legislation and at common law against labour recruiters, especially those arising from incidents involving the Daphne and the Jason. It attempts to uncover the way that lawyers in these cases used arguments from the broader political debate as to whether the trade amounted to slaving. Part 3 concludes with an account of the relatively more effective regulation brought by the Kidnapping Act, with tentative suggestions as to how the arguments about slaving in Australian courts influenced the form that regulation under the Act had to take.

    1 SOCIALIST COUNCILS, DEBT - BONDAGE AND SERFDOM Dr Naomi Jacobs Copyright © Dr Naomi Jacobs, New Zealand, January 2013 The copyright of this book is only for the purposes of protecting the original text. In the public interest, this book may be freely reproduced in full or in part, for profit or not, by whoever wishes to use it, without the author’s or publisher’s permission. All around the world, increasingly “socialist” central/local governments and councils, in collusion with the international bankers who fund them, are frantically getting deeper and deeper into unsustainable debt – or worse, are going bankrupt. Harsh auster ity measures are being implemented, with drastic cuts in spending, privatization of assets and huge, onerous increases in rates and taxes on property owners – Is all this happening just by chance – or is it a deliberate plot? Is it a global phenomenon? W ho is responsible? Where will all this eventually end? Using the small country of New Zealand in the South Pacific as an example, this account attempts to unmask exactly why all this is happening , and provides some unique answers how it may be stopped . “In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.” Karl Marx - Communist Manifesto chapter 2 , 1848 “We are at present working discreetly, with all our might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.” Arnold Toynbee – International Affairs, p.809, November 1931 ________________________ 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….3 1.
