Thomas acquitted of terrorism conviction Friday, 18 August 2006
The conviction of Melbourne man Jack Thomas on terrorism offences has been quashed in the Victorian Court of Appeal.
Thomas had been sentenced to five years in jail in March, but has now been acquitted on two charges of receiving funds from a terrorist network and for carrying a falsified passport.
The court ruled Thomas's interview with Australian Federal Police (AFP) in Pakistan was inadmissible.
His lawyers argued he had no legal representation and only agreed to the interview because he was earlier threatened with torture from foreign security agencies. http://www.abc.net.au/news/items/200608/1718664.htm?victoria
Another failed frame-up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.106.64.214 ( talk • contribs) .
So he is not a criminal as stated in the first line of this article prior to 1108 18/08/2006 Thanks harro5 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.79.25 ( talk • contribs) .
What I want to know is - why "Jihad Jack"? His name isn't Jack...it's not really close to being Jack...so why Jack? Why not "Jihad Joe"? Whoever made it up just wanted to associate the name Jihad with him to scare the public into thinking 'Ah Jihad! He must be bad!" —The preceding

Re: The referenced article says his curfew is midnight until 5am. Yep. The SMH got their story wrong. Sometime in the 3 hours from when I read the article to when James Foster read the article it has been modified and the SMH has failed to highlight that they have corrected their article. ABC Lateline backs the 12am-5am figure. John Dalton 13:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I looked that one up in the Macquarie dictionary because it's not a term I have heard used before. It means "denoting or relating to terrorists or their methods." I'm not sure how replacing anti-terrorism with terroristic in the phrase "Australian anti-terrorism legislation" serves the clarity of the article. It actually makes the purpose of the legislation a bit obscure, until you follow the link to Australian Anti-Terrorism Act 2005. Let's call it what it is and leave our judgements of the legislation out of the article shall we? SilentC 22:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
What's the copyright status of the picture which has been uploaded please? I've seen the same picture in news reports, implying it was taken by one of the news wires and not "released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media" as claimed by the uploader, Andrew777. Chances are the quoted source: http://democracyfrontline.org/news/?m=200602 doesn't have to right to use or give away the picture. Could Andrew777 please verify the picture's status or remove it from the article? John Dalton 05:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I've sent the following email to info@justice4jack.com.
Dear Ms Sparrow,
I am writing regarding the following picture of Jack Thomas, for which you hold the copyright:
http://www.justice4jack.com/wp-gallery2.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=176
I ask your permission to include the above picture in Wikipedia's "Joseph Thomas" article[1]. For the picture to be included it will need to be released under a Wikipedia compatible license, ideally the GNU Free Documentation License. If you agree, could you please upload the picture to Wikipedia [2] choosing the "GFDL (self made)" license option, or formally release the picture under the GNU Free Documentation License so I can upload it.
Regards
John Dalton
I nominated the above photo as it appears to the the most neutral on the website. Others are free to approach other sources if they disagree. John Dalton 05:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
There's been no response from Andrew777, so I'm soon going to delete the image as a copyright violation. I notice the image appears in an Associate Press article [2]. Last chance to object. John Dalton 21:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone think his appearance on The Chaser's War on Everything is relevant here? Not just because he was on it (which would amount to nothing more than a pointless trivia item), but because of the way he acted and behaved on it, laughing at Chas and saying things like "I'd invite you in for a coffee but I have to take my wife to the doctor". Every other representation of him in the media was completely the opposite. It's not something I'm 100% sure on myself, but I notice there hadn't been any discussion about it. -- Chuq (talk) 01:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

He was charged and found guilty, charged again and found not guilty? Where does the overturn from appeal come in? It certainly isn't clear in either intro or text. Kaiwhakahaere ( talk) 02:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
