Love v Commonwealth
text:
Love v Commonwealth; Thoms v Commonwealth is a High Court of Australia case that held that Aboriginal Australians were not "aliens" for the purposes of section 51(xix) of the Constitution. As a result, legislation passed under that power is inapplicable to Aboriginal Australians. In this case, this meant that the power to deport non-citizens under the Migration Act 1958 could not be exercised against non-citizen Aboriginal Australians. The case was decided on 11 February 2020.
