Dr Jocelynne A. Scutt, a most successful barrister deigns to talk about morality. Wasn’t it a group of barristers who needed pushing and prodding by the ATO to lodge tax returns for the many years they had failed to do so? It got to the stage where special legislation threatening disbarment was needed. And even though some barristers were barred they continue to practice because of pending appeals. If that harlequinade wasn’t enough, some of those barristers declared themselves bankrupt to avoid paying millions of dollars of tax owed to the ATO (that’s us, the poor dumb unwashed).

A barrister talking about morality; that makes about as much sense as that bloke who made reference to turkeys voting for an early Christmas.

The invasion of iraq was not illegal. QED

Hey Sage, how about answering her arguments instead of making comments about what she does for a living?

Wow. Illegal means immoral? I know which school of legal philosophy you belong to. The wrong one.

Lets just look back in history a little...

Martin Luther King....immoral
Ghandi...Immoral
Nelson Mandela...immoral.

Great philosophy you got there...

The Iraqi war was not legal by any means,it will be interesting to see how the political parties attempt to try & cover themselves.The UN said NO,that WMD's had not been found.Why did Australia or I should say the liberal party go against the UN & the laws of our country,we where not under attack?Many times I have heard Mr H say he speaks on behalf of all Australians,I find this insulting & untrue.Will these leaders be taken up before the Haig for their misdeeds or will it be a matter of two sets of rules?

What is interesting is that many who OPPOSE current policy in Iraq also fail to mention "the serious breach of international law engaged in by Australia, the USA, the UK and others who so willingly followed the “lead” of the US administration" and base their critique on purely instrumental grounds
