Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.
You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

'There's no justice': Outrage as Jake Danby walks after fatal hit-and-run
A fatal hit-and-run case in Darwin has exposed deep disparities in the NTโs justice system, say Aboriginal leaders, as the victimโs family speaks out.
