Dear Bogan Intelligentsia fans,
In episode 23 Robbie Barwick tears into the Dan Duggan case: an Aussie citizen, former US pilot, and dad of six, jailed since 2022 in maximum security for legal 2012 work in South Africa. The US claims he gave “defence services” to Chinese pilots in a 1960s decommissioned jet—no Australian law broken, yet Dan faces 65 years in US prison. Barwick exposes the sham: no US jurisdiction, no dual criminality, and a 2018 law retroactively weaponized—a first in Australian history. Australia’s betrayal—funding US prosecution, freezing Dan’s assets, denying aid, with ASIO’s secret “impropriety”—screams sovereignty loss. A family crumbles; a precedent looms. From Assange to Duggan, who’s next?
