❗️John Ruddick: "Aussie Cossack, I do like him a lot. He is basically a Russian neo-conservative who wants to take all of Ukraine.

We don't agree on foreign policy at all with Aussie Cossack but I feel indebted to him.

Aussie Cossack did do a very good job in mobilising and organising the anti-COVID rallies and he gave me a platform at those things.

I like him as a friend but we don't have much in common politically."

❗️There may be a touch of the Cold War in the air in Canberra today as Russia and Australia go into battle in the High Court over a new embassy.

The dispute is over a law passed in 2023 which cancelled Russia's lease on the block, which is only 300 metres from Parliament House.

At the time, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the law was needed on national security grounds.

But a Russian spokesperson characterised it as a hostile action, showing "Russophobic hysteria".

Now, the fight has arrived at the High Court of Australia.

But after what Russia says was a dispute with a builder, and then COVID-19 delays, the main embassy buildings had still not materialised.

That triggered moves by the National Capital Authority to revoke the lease, creating a sticky legal and diplomatic situation, especially after Russia won a case in the Federal Court.

Today lawyers for Russia will tell the High Court the law is not valid because under the constitution, the parliament doesn't have the power to make such legislation.

The ASIO advice on which the legislation was based has not been revealed to the High Court, because it is protected by public interest immunity.

The Russians have told the High Court if they should lose on the first argument, and the law is found to be valid, they are entitled to "just terms" for the loss of the site.

"Ultimately a good outcome for Russia could be that the Commonwealth is ordered to pay them certain compensation with respect to the question of the acquisition of this property."

❗️Russia has claimed the cancellation of its embassy lease in Canberra was illegal as lawyers for the Australian government argue in the nation’s highest court that the lease posed a security risk.

Diplomatic tensions between Australia and Russia have played out in the high court after the Albanese government rushed laws through parliament in 2023 to cancel Russia’s lease on a plot of land where it planned to build a new embassy.

The proposed Russian embassy plot is a few hundred metres away from Parliament House in Canberra. Russia entered a 99-year lease in 2008 to build a new embassy in Canberra but did not complete any developments on the plot.

Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, cited advice from national security agencies about the proposed embassy’s proximity to parliament when justifying the action, but the intelligence was not aired in court.

Russia is arguing the case on two fronts: that the laws are unconstitutional because no evidence of a national security threat was put forward and, failing any reinstatement, it is entitled to compensation.

A Russian supporter waved the nation’s tri-coloured flag for hours outside the court while top silk Bret Walker SC flew the flag for Russia inside the courtroom on Wednesday.
