When I came to New South Wales to go to university here after finding the University in Queensland I was attending to be bigoted and unfair, I discovered that in New South Wales it was still possible to begin a private prosecution, and in 2002, I started one to call the Chief Justice of the High Court to account for judicial corruption. It almost caused a panic.
The Federal Liberal Government sent a lawyer to intimidate the magistrate, and the magistrate obliged by dismissing the charge without trial. There is no doubt Murray Gleeson was guilty. There is no doubt that had he been indicted as should have happened, he would have been convicted. So the Chief Justice still enjoys his pension, but should have been fined.
It was the Labor Party Federally who killed the Private Prosecution. Bob Hawke, who was better at drinking than governing, was persuaded to give the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Commonwealth power to take over and discontinue any Private Prosecution not started by the Government itself. This is S 9.5 of the Director of Public Prosecutions Act 1983. This provision has been used every time a Judge has been the subject of a private prosecution. Every Judge is a criminal. Every Judge who sits without a jury is an offender, offending parts of Ch III Crimes Act 1914 ( Cth) and parts of the Criminal Code Act 1995 ( Cth) . There are Judges in all New South Wales Courts, but no civil judges anymore, as mandated by s 79 Constitution.
So Belly, if Nathan Rees wants to continue to govern, and I think he is a very decent fellow, ask him to restore juries
