Remember that this government let into Australia David Petraeus, a convicted criminal who leaked info to impress his girlfriend. But it blocks Chelsea Manning who leaked to reveal war crimes and US atrocities.

People with convictions are let into Australia all the time to visit, as long as the convictions are declared and they’re not considered by the visa decision makers as antithetical to Australian safety, security, peace etc. I don’t know the assessment behind either of these cases

I’ve read a lot of material on both cases & remember the details of both well. I noted the judicial outcomes with interest - it reinforced my view of variability in any system of jurisprudence & also the influencing factors on judicial outcomes for individuals.
