18yr old in Gaol
The teenage wife of Sydney terror suspect Sameh Bayda has been refused bail after she was charged with 31 counts of failure to answer questions.Alo-Bridget Nomoa from Auburn in Sydney's west was arrested after her husband Sameh Bayda was charged with three counts of collecting documents likely to facilitate terrorist acts in January.
Namoa allegedly failed to answer questions in a crime commission hearing. She was asked about her husband's alleged plans to sacrifice himself, ISIS propaganda, a knife allegedly found in her handbag wrapped in a Shahada flag and plans of a terrorist act.
Under the new terror laws refusing to answer questions asked by the crime commission is an offence in itself. She has been refused bail even though this is a first offence.

She has a right not to reply but they have a right to deduce from that and from the other information available that she is a risk to the general public and therefore shouldn't have bail.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_...ence#Australia
<<There are numerous statutory abrogations of the right, particularly in the area of bankruptcy. It is also not available to witnesses testifying before a Royal Commission. There are also abrogations of the right in recent Federal anti-terrorism and Victorian organised crime Acts.[3] Each of these acts set up coercive questioning regimes which operate outside the normal criminal processes.>>

And
"I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I may incriminate myself" now that is a classic
