individual,

It's not beside the point when another poster has spoken of the woman "representing" someone. In all likelihood, she is a jumped up office manager who runs the business side of the practice; in the same way as a 'practice manager' in a medical clinic is not a doctor.

individual,

Maybe she was planted by the Chinese.

There are a lot of people in Australia who are in bed with the Chinese.

We even have an MP who is a former(?) affiliate of the CCP.

ttbn,
I didn't disagree, I meant that by it is not the point anymore because by now she's done the damage she probably planned to do for some time.
I think it's all about sabotage to this Govt by ANY means !

Wake up all ! The CEO of a legal company should have known that the
lawyers taxi rank rule means that they cannot refuse to represent
a client. Many times they know someone is guilty but do their job
of being the legal representative.
For going against that rule is why she got the sack.
This is one of the main protections we will have against Albo if he
becomes PM as he is prepared to "legalise" kangaroo courts.

Bazz,

Lawyers have the right to refuse to represent clients. However, one of the fundamental morals of the legal system is that any person has the right to be represented and that representing someone does not imply in any way agreeing with the client.

What this virtue signalling Fwit did was post an unethical message to the whole company that was factually incorrect and trashed a fellow partner for doing nothing wrong.

No self-respecting company could keep her on.

Shadow Minister;
I was under the impression that they could refuse if it put them in a
conflict of interest situation or similar but otherwise they were
required to accept.
It is what they call the first cab on the rank rule.

Talking of rules, someone I know refuses to employ moslems.
He wrote to the Human Rights NSW Govt body and told them that he
refuses due to the Koran requiring moslems to kill unbelievers, so he
told them he had the right to refuse believers employment as they are
committed to kill him.
All he got was an acknowledgement.
