Legal journalist Paul Gregoire reports that the Attorney-General's Department seems to have got it wrong with its claim that the AG does not have the power to protect the rights of Australian citizen and father of six #FreeDan Duggan and reverse flawed extradition decisions.

The story quotes international lawyer and Australian Defence Force veteran Glen Kolomeitz who says: "Now, the attorney general can step in at any time and stop the extradition request."

"The US charges against him just don't stack up. This case doesn't bode well for the protection of Australian sovereignty, or indeed, for our own citizens from US overreach."

But according to the recent letter from the AG's department, "the attorney general does not have the power to overturn the decision to surrender Mr Duggan to the United States to face prosecution for the offences for which he is accused".

Maybe they need to go check the law, and review Dan's case while they're at it.

The Duggans' future now hangs on the Federal Court's decision in two months' time. Please if you can help the Duggan's fund this appeal, donate here: https://freedanduggan.org/help-the-cause/

It is utterly un-Australian what this poor family has had to go through. The fact that Dan has been held in a maximum-security prison for 1033 days at the behest of a foreign government, with no Australian charges laid against him is disgusting.
