Political bite-sized meaty chunks

What do we read into this? The Liberal party have finally ramped up a website for the election. So they’re ready for a call this weekend, even if the PM isn’t. You don’t become a senior judge this way. The student trots and doctors’ wives stayed silent, but loudly heckling Attorney-General Philip Ruddock’s representative at the Higgins Justice Project forum last night, we hear, was Julian Burnside – a man tipped to have a golden future at the bench under a Labor government. Independent inquiry compromised? George Brandis is a QC. Ian Callinan is a QC, too, and a former High Court judge. So why did he accept an appointment of National Gallery of Australia Council for a three-year term while he is supposedly carrying out an independent inquiry into equine flu? Why did Brandis make the offer? Doesn’t this compromise his independence. |
