Hi, I'm confused, I'm reading about Vasilkovic V Commonwealth (2006) HCA 40 and I'm confused. This guy is a naturalised Australian, but a war criminal. If the extradition act says he can be extradited, how is that unconstitutional when the only reference to the consititution is S51 (xxix), which refers to the Commonwealth having external affairs powers. How can he claim he is being denied his liberty by 1) being arrested and 2) being extradited?

From what I have seen on TV about war criminals, It is not unconstitutional. They have extradited many war criminals. It seems that all or most of them try to claim their rights and liberties are being violated so they can try to get around the law. That is my opinion anyway.
