The use of troops against citizens is widely associated with authoritarian regimes, not democratic states. Yet legislation was introduced in 2000, and extended in 2006, giving Australian governments and the chief of the Australian Defence Force explicit peacetime powers to call-out the troops on such grounds as 'domestic violence' and 'Commonwealth interests'. Military commanders were given sweeping powers to shoot down civilian aircraft, use lethal force, interrogate people, raid premises and seize documents.
Military call-out law expert Dr Michael Head examines the legislation, its historical background and moves to broaden the concepts of national security to encompass threats to political and economic stability, and reviews the constitutional and legal encertainties around the call-out laws.
While this book will be particular interest to students, scholars and practitioners of law, as well as military lawyers and experts, it is also directed to members of the public, with the aim of stimulating much-needed debate.
