Newly appointed President of the Victorian Bar, Róisín Annesley QC, says that the Victorian Government’s proposed amendments to the Pandemic Management Bill do not go far enough to protect the rule of law: bit.ly/3Ck9k86 #auslaw #auspol

“A weaker junior bar will lead to a weaker senior bar. A weaker senior bar will one day lead to a weaker bench. This is one of the many reasons why Faculty opposes any suggestion that virtual hearings should become the default for anything other than procedural business.”

Even with the latest amendments it’s still crap. VIC Bar statement:

PCR tests are costing Australia $85 per test. Yesterday we conducted 302,853 tests. Cost: $25,742,505 That’s 1 day. 25 million.
