As the world's population grew, so did political and economic instability, as well as major international conflicts. Tensions between countries and cultures tightened, and eventually and inevitably, one of them attacked. This terrorist act brought with it the panic and chaos fuelled haze that was post-911 Australia, and similar to many situations in the past, the fear and vulnerability associated with the community allowed the government quite a substantial amount of political power. This atmosphere of fear and ignorance lead to several incomplete and somewhat extreme pieces of Anti terrorist legislation to be passed by the Howard government, in order to ensure the safety of all Australians, or so they said. Dr Mohammed Haneef a doctor working in Queensland on a skilled migrant visa, soon found himself a victim of these laws. When two Indian men attempted to bomb an airport in Glasgow, UK, Mohammed Haneef became a suspect in the eyes of the Australian Federal Police, and was arrested shortly. Several blunders and misinterpretations by the AFP lead to the wrongful detention and charging of Dr Haneef, a man who spent a total of 12 days in detention without being charged and had his visa unfairly revoked during his trial. Haneef was eventually released and all charges were dropped against him, when the Public Prosecutor determined that there was no legitimate trial against him. However, the course of events that Dr Haneef experienced brought to light the glaring dilemmas associated with Australia's radical Anti Terrorist laws and corresponding government agencies.…

I was supposed to be named Rachel. It was a compromise, my mother told me, from what my dad had picked: Raquel. Growing up, I had a friend named Rachel that was nothing like me: soft, composed, and the sweetest smile. As it is hebrew, the name comes from the biblical name meaning “O Beautiful One” or “female sheep”. While this is nice and all, it was much more fitting for my friend. Never could or would I pick the animal the sheep to describe myself.…

My full name is Celina Guerrero. There’s nothing extra special about my name but in French “Celina” translates to sky or heaven. According to my father, I was named after my grandfather, Cecelio. My mother originally wanted to name me Cecelila, fortunately, my dad wasn’t too eager on that name and came up with Celina instead. I was born on the 21st of October in 1998 in a urban city in the state of Utah. The city that I was born in was only the city that I was born in. I grew up in a smaller town more than half an hour from there in the state of Nevada. There, I spent my childhood there and grew up there up until 2 ¾ years when my dad decided it was time to leave the small city behind and move somewhere else where we’ll have better education opportunities. The move allowed my older brother, Diego, to attend UCSB and is now a sophomore. My younger brother attends Alta Murrieta ES and is a second grader there. Both of my parents are from Mexico but they moved here after they got married when they were young. They have lived in the country for more than 20 years.…

In both cases, the power to amend the rights had been upheld on the basis of Article 368. Chief Justice Subba Rao writing for the majority (five judges dissenting) held that:…
