Indy,
Labor has a lot to do with the illegals situation, granted.

But the weak decissions of our courts will continue whatever the government.

Yep, I'll drink to that banjo. They both appoint judges that will not up set the chattering classes, the civil libertarians & the Marilyn Shepherds of this world too much. They have enough things to upset us with, so we get bleeding hearts & activists.

Of course they are all lawyers, so protect their base & strength, the law. The last thing they are interested in is justice.

The only way we will ever get the type of justice the majority of people want will be to elect out judges, & that for a fixed, reasonably short term.

To really work anyone who had ever studied law would have to be ineligible to become a judge. Only then would justice have a chance.

Law? What law? Justice? What justice?
Here in Cairns we have a solicitor who was about to be caught out for working for both sides....client and insurance company....who favored the insurance company.
He was also the head of the Law Society. So their kind of justice comes into play.
No legal proceedings, no court appearance, no conviction, no imprisonment, no sanctions whatsoever.
Instead to avoid embarrassment and publicity they make him a magistrate.
AS a magistrate he cannot be touched by the laws of self regulation.
Law and Justice have no place in a democratic society where money and power operate to maintain the status quo.
