Freedom of Association in the Australian Constitution and the Crime of Consorting

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

State governments are increasingly criminalising acts of consorting among individuals. These offences typically focus on the simple act of association; there is no need to establish that individuals are consorting for criminal purposes. This article argues that such laws might infringe the freedom of association that has been recognised as a constitutional freedom by the High Court.
