Convicted terrorist Benbrika freed under strict orders after plots to attack AFL grand final

By Dominic Giannini, 4:01pm Dec 19, 2023

Convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika will be released from prison under more than 30 strict conditions after a push to keep him behind bars due to community safety risk was abandoned.

Benbrika, who appeared in court via video link, spent nearly two decades behind bars after being convicted over plots to attack the MCG during the 2005 AFL grand final, and Melbourne's Crown Casino.

He was released on Tuesday after justice Elizabeth Hollingworth ruled in the Victorian Supreme Court he will be subject to strict supervision and a curfew for one year.

Benbrika, aged in his 60s, was spotted being driven out of Barwon Prison in the back seat of a dark-coloured ute.

He will have to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet and cannot leave Victoria without approval, with police to be given extensive powers to monitor his electronic communications.

He also cannot contact certain individuals, including people in prison, convicted terrorists, those charged with such offences and people on a list prescribed by the court.

Benbrika will continue to receive psychological treatment, will need permission from the police to start a job and cannot visit numerous public places.

He will be blacked from discussing terrorist activities publicly but can do so in his deradicalisation program.

Breaching conditions of the supervision order is a criminal offence and carries a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment.

Justice Hollingworth agreed Benbrika's "relative risk is still unacceptable at this time" due to the serious nature of his offending.

But she was satisfied "the combined effect of the conditions ... is reasonably necessary and reasonably appropriate and adapted for the purpose of protecting the community from the unacceptable risks that Benbrika presents".

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said he had faith in law enforcement agencies to protect the community.

The supervision order was the strongest course of action as an extended prison sentence could not be ordered by the court given the risk reduction, Dreyfus said.

"The court held that these conditions were sufficient to protect the community," he said in a statement.

But acting opposition leader Sussan Ley slammed the government for not fighting to keep Benbrika behind bars.

"Benbrika is the worst of the worst," she said.

"The government has not done everything they could have done to keep Australians safe from this convicted terrorist."

However, part of the reason the Commonwealth opted for a supervision order over continuing detention was a report buried by the home affairs department under the former coalition government.

It found the methods used to assess the future risk a person poses to the community were no better than flipping a coin.

It was "clearly a document that should have been disclosed," Hollingworth said.

She also revealed four other reports critical of the assessment tool had not been disclosed and slammed the Commonwealth for its secrecy.

While an assessment tool isn't legally required to be used, any reliied upon needed to be based on evidence and "have some underlying validity", she said.

It was concerning the department didn't disclose any of the reports to the court, Justice Hollingworth said, after previously branding the move "a disgrace".

The Commonwealth decided to apply for a supervision order after Benbrika's lawyers seized on one of the reports to challenge the veracity of the detention order he was under once it come to light.

The onus remained on the government to keep him behind bars, Ley said when asked if the former coalition government bore any responsibility for a detention order not being imposed after failing to disclose the report.

The non-disclosure of the reports will be referred to the national security legislation watchdog by the judge after her full written reasons are released.

Preventative detention was an exceptional measure but "not the norm" within a legal system, Justice Hollingworth added.

The legal system's role "is not to detain people to prevent a crime that they may or may not commit in the future".

Victoria & Abdul may be my newest guilty pleasure!

Sure it plays the iffy Magical Minority trope to the max, sure Abdul’s intentions are questionable and he’s a blatant social climber. But the sets, the costumes, the acting are all great. Dame Judi Dench is great as always as Queen Victoria, best scenes are all the interactions between her household.

What are some ways that a queen could show favour to a servant who works for her?

Granting them lavish gifts, bestowing higher positions, having them wear more expensive and elaborate clothes, having them accompany them everywhere and entrusting them with sensitive tasks or information. Consider the close relationship between Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim.

Charles Augustus Milverton

Published in 1904, this forms part of the Return collection.

Most chroniclers put this in 1899.

Milverton is seemingly inspired by Charles Augustus Howell, an art dealer and alleged blackmailer, who died in strange circumstances in 1890: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Augustus_Howell

Hampstead is located four miles NW of Charing Cross. Known for attracting a lot of artistic and intellectual people, it has some very expensive houses and a lot of millionaires. Notable residents past and present are numerous indeed, including Sting, Agatha Christie, Emilia Clarke, Muhammed Ali Jinnah, Florence Nightingale.

The area had began to expand with the arrival of what is now known as the North London line of London Overground, which operated services into Broad Street until that station closed in 1986. The now-Northern Line would reach there in 1907 and Hampstead station, beneath a steep hill has the deepest platforms on the Tube, at 192 feet below street level. The station also is one of those designed by Leslie Green, with the distinctive oxblood red tiles he liked to use on the outside.

The "Evil One" is an archaic term for the Devil.

Débutantes seem to have typically been 17 or 18.

"Lady" is a courtesy title for the daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls.

Mr. Pickwick refers to the titular character of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers, originally serialised in 19 parts between 1836 and 1837. It might be good for a mailing group.

With telephones going through human-operated exchanges and telegrams being rather expensive, letters were the most secure way of sending romantic messages. Unless the servants got hold of them. Notably, all the correspondence from Queen Victoria to her Indian teacher Abdul Karim was burnt after her death on the orders of Edward VII.

£7,000 would be around £740,000 at today's prices.

Astrakhan are the pelts of fetal or newborn Karakul sheep. So, yeah...

Revolvers were the normal handguns at the time. Self-loading semi-automatics had just begun to enter the scene in large numbers, with the Mauser C96 (aka Han Solo's blaster) available by 1899.

Hampstead Heath is a 790-acre park with views over the city centre from Parliament Hill that are legally protected. The "bloofer lady" scene from Dracula takes place there and a number of movies, such as Notting Hill have filmed there.

The Heath also was - and still is - a popular location for gay men to engage in "cruising" i.e. anonymous hookups, or just hang out. The locals know which bits to avoid at night and these days the police are tolerant unless someone complains, although fines were issued for lockdown breaches. (Public sex is legal if no-one not involved sees it or is likely to, unless in a public toilet)

In the past, it was a very different matter and a Tory MP had to resign his seat in 1992 after being caught on the Heath with another man.

"Court dress" was the regulated outfits worn when attending the British royal court at the time for those not entitled to a uniform. This included wearing breeches and stockings for men, along with a cocked hat. For women this included a white or cream evening gown with lace. It fell somewhat out of use after the Second World War with the 1953 Coronation being the last occasion it was worn in large numbers, However, it is still worn by judges, King's Counsel (senior lawyers) and some Lord Mayors - the royals will wear it sometimes as well.
