Below is a video I recorded on Friday (30/8/13) outside the Law Courts building in Sydney. The video is the next step by this site for putting judicial corruption on the political agenda.

Former AG Robert McClelland abandons ALP sinking ship and is back practising law on the side.
Former attorney general Robert McClelland has set up office at State Chambers in Sydney’s Martin Place. He is back in the law game and trying to grow a legal practice. This raises numerous issues. The first thought that comes to mind is that he is already preparing for defeat at the next election. The problem for me […]
Gillard government exempts Fair Work Australia from new corrupt judge laws. Why?
The Gillard government has introduced two bills to parliament which if passed will supposedly better help deal with corrupt and derelict judicial officers. For some unknown but scandalous reason Fair Work Australia judicial officers have been exempted from the new laws. Four questions were put to the attorney general Nicola Roxon by me with the fourth […]
AG Nicola Roxon refuses to answer media questions in relation to new corrupt judge laws.
The federal attorney general Nicola Roxon is ducking and weaving and refusing to answer legitimate questions that I have put to her media advisor Chris Owens in relation to new laws to deal with corrupt and derelict judicial officers.

Crisis of confidence in the justice system says Chief Justice Bathurst after the horse has bolted.
In a speech given at the NSW Law Society at the end of January 2012 Chief Justice Bathurst of the NSW Supreme Court said there is a crisis of confidence in the justice system. If he wants to know a major reason for the crisis in confidence he need look no further than his own court, the […]
Roll call. Murray Farquhar, former NSW Chief Stipendiary Magistrate. Part one.
Mr Murray Farquhar, the former NSW Chief Stipendiary Magistrate was sentenced to 4 years jail in 1985. It wasn’t all bad news, with good behaviour he was out in 2 1/2 years.

How the Australian Federal Police and Federal Courts collude to sweep criminal conduct of judges under the carpet. Part one.
If you want to make a complaint of criminal conduct against a judge where do you go? Nowhere apparently or that is the only conclusion that you can come to based on correspondence from the Australian Federal Police and the courts. As the emails and document below show, if you go to the Federal Police they say […]

A new group are running a campaign via a petition to have the Australian legal system reformed. The campaign is called the “Truth in Justice campaign” (click here to go to their website).

The Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions Jeremy Rapke QC resigned on Friday. The reason for his resignation was because he was caught out promoting Diana Karamicov, a 28-year-old female lawyer, whom he was having a sexual relationship with.

Julia Gillard’s human rights record by Amnesty International
I came across this story on the latest annual report by Amnesty International which drops the boot into the Australian Government and particularly Prime Minister Julia Gillard. In an artical by Tom Reilly in the SMH it says: “The group used the publication of its annual report to criticise the government and highlight areas of concern, […]
FORMER Queensland attorney-general Kerry Shine busted appointing mates as judges
The former Queenland attorney general Kerry Shine was caught red-handed appointing close friends as judges and magistrates. Nothing new here as most judges and magistrates have close political connections and that’s how they are appointed in the first place, not because of their ability, ethics or integrity. The Kerry Shine story did not get much […]
Chief Justice Spigelman – Predetermined Judgements
This post is only a short one but it covers a topic that is quite amazing. Chief Justice Spigelman of the New South Wales Supreme Court admitting what many people know. Although he does try to back pedal afterwards. In an article that Richard Ackland wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 12th November 2010 the following showed […]
