BREAKING: Two notorious former Sydney nurses accused of threatening to kill Israeli patients are launching a High Court constitutional challenge, claiming their charges breach Australia's implied “freedom of political
communication”
Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir were charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass, or offend after allegedly being recorded threatening Israeli patients lives at Bankstown Hospital.
Both have pleaded not guilty.
Now, their legal teams are moving to take the case straight to the nation's top court, effectively trying to kill it.
Their lawyers are heading to the High Court, arguing the charges breach their “freedom of political communication”
Effectively trying to delay the trial once again, so that it may be pushed to next year.
They have already had one trial vacated.
The only precedent their own lawyer cites is Man Haron Monis, the Lindt Cafe siege radical Islamic terrorist, who murdered two people before Police neutralised him.
He ran the same argument.
He lost.
They did not lose their jobs for holding an opinion. They lost them for allegedly threatening to kill the people they were paid to treat.
Calling that political communication is not a defence, it is a confession.
