Featuring: Peter Faris QC for the prosecution and Gerry Nash QC for the defence with newly-appointed Justice to the Supreme Court, The Honourable Lex Lasry, presiding.
While many associate Ned Kelly with the theft of horses and the murder of a police constable. Many don’t know that Kelly described himself as the defender of the oppressed and robbed banks to provide funding for his sympathisers. His views were at all times anti establishment. Indeed, he planned to derail a police train. In the hour of his capture the police found in his pocket a declaration for a republic for North Eastern Victoria. Will Kelly be charged with the sedition offences contained within the anti-terror legislation? Will the court find him guilty of terrorist activities? Will justice be done for Australian icon Ned Kelly?
