(NCA NewsWire) One of Australia’s most infamous domestic terrorists has gone to the nation’s highest court in his fight to have his citizenship restored as his potential deportation looms closer.
Abdul Nacer Benbrika’s challenge against the legality of the former Morrison government’s 2020 decision to revoke his citizenship under the Citizenship Act made its way to the High Court of Australia on Wednesday.
The full bench of the High Court will return with its decision later this year after being asked to determine whether the government erred in stripping Benbrika’s citizenship under section 36D of the Act.
Their ruling is expected to help define Australia’s new citizenship cessation laws, which have been in limbo after the High Court struck down Coalition-era laws last year.
