When the Americans asked the Albanese government in 2022 to extradite former US Marines “Top Gun” pilot-turned Australian citizen Dan Duggan, the government should have only asked one question: is the crime they are accusing Duggan of a crime in Australia? Put aside that he was an Australian citizen at the time of the alleged offense in 2012, has a Certificate of Loss of Nationality of the USA issued by the USA which states he “expatriated himself on 01-26-2012”, i.e. Australian Day 2012 when he was naturalised as an Australian citizen, and therefore was not under US jurisdiction but had the same national status as the other Australians who provided training at the Test Flight Academy of South Africa and who have not been charged with any crimes.

Cairns News first posted about Dan Duggan’s plight after he was targeted by the corrupt Biden regime more than three years ago.

Put aside that he is specifically licensed by the Australian government to provide the kind of training he did in South Africa under Australia’s “limited category” air law, meaning he can train people in ex-military decommissioned aircraft that are used for their aerodynamic, not military, properties, and that South Africa has the same “limited category” air law, which means his activities were perfectly legal in both Australia and South Africa. And put aside that in 2012, Australia was conducting joint military exercises with China, the United States was asking to join those exercises, and China was the country everyone was racing to do business with, not an “enemy”.

All of those factors pale in significance compared to the core question of dual criminality—that it must be a crime in both countries to qualify for extradition. It is not, and the government knew it, but instead of abiding by the extradition treaty’s requirement of dual criminality and refusing the request, Albanese chose to scapegoat Duggan to demonstrate his loyalty to the United States. His then-Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus retrospectively applied an Australian law passed in 2018 to the alleged offence in 2012, to pretend to satisfy the dual criminality criterion, so they could do America’s bidding. If the 2018 law really applied, however, it would mean Australian citizen Dan Duggan broke Australian law; so why hasn’t the Australian government charged him with a crime? At least then he would qualify for legal aid! They haven’t, because it doesn’t.

To get away with this travesty, the government is relying on the climate of anti-China political hysteria to fool the media and citizens into looking the other way.

That’s why we need a Dan Duggan watch. Twice, Mark Dreyfus approved Dan’s extradition under cover of Christmas—first in 2022, and then after extensive appeals, again in 2024. The government calculated this outrage would not get attention. When Dreyfus did it the second time, in December 2024, there was even the possibility that because the courts were closed over Christmas-New Year, and Dan was eligible for transportation from 1 January, the family would not get a chance to take out an injunction to stop it so they could appeal.

Now, his case hinges on the judge’s ruling from his appeal heard on 16 October. We need to pre-empt new Attorney-General Michele Rowland from copying Dreyfus, by flooding her office with calls and emails every day to demand justice for the Duggans and that she not extradite him under cover of Christmas. This is ultimately a fight for Australia’s sovereignty, and Dan Duggan’s only defenders are not his government, but his fellow citizens.

17 thought on “Will AG Rowland lawfully handle Dan Duggan’s extradition application or be as dodgy as Dreyfus?”
  1. ‘thus believe Jesus Christ, the TRUE King who resides in heaven (not Trump) will save the world):

    I suppose ‘faith’ says it all really?

    As the legitimate dynastic claimant to the Jewish throne, Jesus was naturally allied to the Zealot nationalists who sought to remove the puppet Herodian dynasty falsely installed by Rome.

    Following the Zealot inspired Jewish rebellion against Rome, everything Jewish was abhorrent to the average Roman citizen. This created a number of uncomfortable issues due to the growing popularity of Christ’s message in Rome. To counter this thorny issue, the Romans essentially transformed the historical Jewish king into a mythical ‘superhero’ character.

    This Romanised Jesus was nothing more than a first century ‘Marvel comic’ type superhero created for an entirely Roman audience. At that point in time, Roman citizenry was appalled by anything Jewish due to their rebellion against the Roman occupation of Judea and the Zealot inspired Jewish Wars.

    In contrast to the authentic ‘Jesus of history,’ the ‘Jesus of faith,’ as created by the Roman citizen, Paul of Tarsus, was nothing more than a ‘Roman superhero’ flying around the sky trying to save the world.

    The Jesus of faith was basically a first century proto-Superman, Captain America, or Arnold Schwarzenegger type character.

    To understand a Jewish king requires historical evidence. To believe in Superman requires faith: . . . superhuman faith.

  2. Dennis:
    “Pres. Trump is cleaning that up now.” 🤦‍♂️
    LOL Still living in that delusion eh Dennis. I was beginning to think you’d finally woken up – you haven’t mentioned the lying, mass murdering, genocidal war mongering jab daddy for a few weeks.
    Even more ironic is the way you still claim to be a staunch Christian, thus believe Jesus Christ, the TRUE King who resides in heaven (not Trump) will save the world):
    “…and this is declared in Jesus Name, by a Spirit Filled Christian, born IN GOD’S IMAGE, with Dominion over the earth.”
    Whilst singing your praises to the evil, Satanic Trump. Jesus Christ and Trump are opposites like oil and water – no similarity whatsoever.
    One of those two celebrities will save us in the end but be rest assured it won’t be Mr Trump, so worshipping him is a waste of the precious hopium he sold you.

  3. As Communications Minister quite recently Michelle Rowland tried to give us the MaD bill, an exercise in total communo-fascist style censorship a la Mussolini, Deng Xiao Ping, Pol Pot and all the others. Michelle Rowland will do whatever she is told. This creature is one of the lowest in Canberra, which is the epicentre of unprincipled rubbish in this country. The very horrible WEF Young Global Leader and NZ PM Jabinterya Ardern attempted to pull the same stunt during the CoV-ID scamdemic. Now I heard, enjoying new jobs far from NZ as a reward. These types of people are desperate for money / “success” and their only marketable skill is lying.

  4. Slightly off the subject, but still showing the thinking of the U.S.
    Henry Kissinger in the NSSN Document —
    “We are going to keep them poor and miserable because if we don’t, they are going to absorb all this stuff – technology for oil –
    into their own economies and then they are going to be very expensive for us to buy. But if they are poor, then they will stay dependent on us and we are going to control all the flows.
    Plus our banks are going to have to finance which means that all their resources are going to be collateral on the books of our banks.”

    America seems to be controlled by fear.
    So what emotion of theirs relates to Marines “Top Gun” pilot-turned Australian citizen Dan Duggan?
    And why the ‘so ready to please’ Mr. ever so smiling Albanese?

  5. Keyboard Warrior said – “… There’s no accountability so these crimes persist…”

    Spot on, Mr. Warrior, a universal and fundamental principle – ACCOUNTABILITY, something entirely missing from the Australian continent and most other places in the crumbling Western Empire if not everywhere else all across the planet.

    The baby-eating remorseless psychopathic Luciferian mongrel arsehole bastards here in Australia and all around the world do what they do for the same reason a dog licks itself – because they CAN. Serial paedophile and celebrated genocidal mass-murderer and now mega-multi-millionaire, the Hillsong Child-Molesting Franchise’ favourite son Snuff Scotty is Australia’s poster child that every blood-soaked child-molesting Luciferian Freemason aspires to emulate.

    Instead of picking up the torches and pitchforks and DEALING with the PROBLEM of unfettered pervasive infectious societal ATROCITY, we all seem far too infatuated with petitions and “voting” and BS corporate procedural gestures, all comfortable and convenient antics appealing to the good vibes of a mythical democracy long gone and tossed into the medical waste disposal bin of history.

    We’re drowning in a Satanic cess-pit, folks…

    [ https://rumble.com/v72l5kc-australiaone-party-ill-show-you-my-town-04-december-2025.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a ]

    If you think “voting” or petitions or cranking the handle on procedural corporate BS is getting us out of this thoroughly demonic rolling genocidal Globalist Hellscape, then you’re dreaming, folks, you really are.

  6. I hear the echo of ‘All the way with LBJ”.

    That ended up with the terrible crime of U.S. President Johnson agreeing to Agent Orange being sprayed on the Vietnamese people. The picture of the girl running with all her flesh coming off her body will never be forgotten.

    And now we see what’s happening to the Gazan people, Somalia,
    Lebanon, the Syrian people, Sudan etc., etc., etc.

    What will it take for the warmongers to stop.
    Well, one suggestion, put them on the front line.
    There’s law has been an ass for a long time.
    There’s no accountability so these crimes persist.

  7. Yes! I rang the receptionist who was polite but patient with me I could tell the AG’s Office must have received many calls from concerned citizens & so hopefully these calls will not fall on deaf ears. John Wilsons common is clear & factual.

  8. Since no actual crime has been committed, and every ploy used has been just for political gain, then justice might be achieved by appealing to President Donald Trump for the case to be annulled. It seems to have been a Democrats/Demonrats ploy of the fake Biden era of fake government, and Pres. Trump is cleaning that up now.
    So assuming that the Labour Crimes Regime is going ahead with this devilish scheme, I declare and command that all those operating purposely in error to destroy this Australian family will be dead before they can achieve or propel this evil situation, and this is declared in Jesus Name, by a Spirit Filled Christian, born IN GOD’S IMAGE, with Dominion over the earth. Further to that, I declare that this man will be released and rewarded from this evil government ploy before Christmas 2025.

  9. As Ayatollah Khamenei warned, US fuels wars, exploits ‘allies’ and discards them

    “A false face must hide what the false heart doth know.” — Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7.

    It is extremely rare in international relations for any political leader to so accurately and insightfully predict the behavior and hidden agendas of a self-proclaimed superpower.

    Yet, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has repeatedly proven that his statements are grounded in wisdom and foresight.

    In a recent speech, Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the United States frequently pushes its “allies” into wars only to abandon them, leaving behind devastation and disillusionment.

    His powerful remarks – labeling the Trump administration as “not worthy” of diplomacy and condemning Washington’s warmongering – have reignited a long-standing debate………..”

  10. Dan Duggan has the right to trial by jury and he has not consented to a judge-alone trial ……. see: the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879. Therefore, he has not had a lawful trial at either the initial hearing and nor at the appeal. Does Michelle Rowland know the law of the land? Do the judges know the law of the land? Dan Duggan obviously doesn’t ……. otherwise, he would be Challenging the Jurisdiction of the Court and Requisitioning Trial by Jury.

  11. The same thing happened to Julian Assange –

    The Persecution of Julian Assange Proves That Western Values No Longer Exist

    Paul Craig Roberts

    “……………Today the media are a propaganda ministry engaged in the demonization of Russia and Trump and justifying the war crimes of Washington and its vassal states.

    This is why there is no media uproar over the 6-year incarceration of Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

    Wikileaks is a news organization and has not done anything that a free press has not always done. Julian Assange is a citizen of Australia and Ecuador. He is not an American and thus cannot be guilty of treason. Yet Washington is believed to have used a grand jury to concoct such a case against him.

    The new president of Ecuador is not the strong and good man than his predecessor was. Under Washington’s pressure Moreno is making life in the Ecuadorian embassy as unbearable as possible for Assange in an effort to force him out into British hands. Responding to Washington’s pressure, the British government will not honor his asylum, which prevents Assange from being able to leave the embassy.

    There is no presence of “democratic values” in this affair. It is a repeat of the Soviet Union’s treatment of Cardinal Mindszenty, only it is Washington, not Moscow, who is stamping on the face of freedom.

    https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/07/23/role-reversal-how-the-us-became-the-ussr-paul-craig-roberts/

    The Australian government, also in deference to Washington, has done nothing to help Assange. Australia, like every other vassal state, puts Washington’s interest ahead of both law and the interest of citizens.

    This week there were protests in Australia in support of Assange. However, Western governments are now so far removed from citizens who are today little more than subjects that it is unlikely that anything short of revolution can restore accountability to governments in the West.

    “Western democracy” has become an oxymoron. This article by Mike Head shows the disdain that the Western elites have for free speech, freedom of the press, truth, and the rights of citizens:
