Excising half my sentence to distort the meaning may work for your cretinous peers in the arts, but to anyone with an IQ above that of a squirrel it simply makes you look like a devious asshole.
Foxy,
For anyone with a smidgeon of legal knowledge it is not hard.
In the news today:
"One of the two judges of the Victorian Court of Appeal who upheld George Pell’s wrongful conviction for assaulting choirboys was appointed to the bench after stating publicly that he was not a criminal lawyer.
The Victorian government selected Court of Appeal president Chris Maxwell after a career that included working for a federal Labor frontbencher and running a politically charged legal challenge against the Howard government.
Less than three years before his appointment, Justice Maxwell told a Senate committee he was not a criminal lawyer and deferred to another lawyer with expertise in this area of law."
So it looks like at least one of the two of the victorian appellate judges was a labor political appointee who could made the call at the behest of his political masters.
