This is a fine piece of writing, an absolute scorcher from Malcolm Knox, a visceral denunciation of the crime that was Robodebt. smh.com.au/politics/feder…


Looking at the Unlawful Assemblies and Processions Act 1958 (as you do). When is the Parliament going to update the notice of dispersal to be given to unlawful assemblers? #TheQueenIsDead #archaic #VicLaw

The collective noun for barristers? An “eloquence”. An eloquence of barristers! Onya @NSWBar

I remember taking Arie Freiberg's criminology class around 1991 at Melbourne Uni, doing what became the SAC "You be the judge" sessions. I've feared his retirement for a few years. Who's gonna write Fox & Freiberg now? #farewell #goodluck

As of Friday 26 August 2022, criminal barristers will be walking out of court. Indefinitely. And we won’t be going back until this government fixes the justice system that it has broken. Your move, @DominicRaab. ✊

@markdreyfusQCMP as soon as you are sworn in as our Attorney General can you please intervene to instruct the CDPP to drop the outrageous prosecution of Timor L’Este lawyer @BernardCollaery. We need to restore integrity (no dirty tricks) in our security agencies. No cover-ups.
