⚔️⚖️ A Clash of Titans
Judge v DPP
A long-running heated feud.
A Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) under scrutiny.
A parliamentary inquiry that made findings.
The Attorney General aggressively criticised the inquiry and outright dismissed it as "a stitch-up from the outset", describing its findings as "unsupported by evidence" and labelling the report "farcical". He accused a seven-member parliamentary committee, comprising representatives of different political parties, of treating "mere suspicion and speculation as fact".
The legal establishment closed ranks.
The AG.
The Law Society.
The Bar Association.
Senior legal figures.
Crown Prosecutors.
All rallied to defend one of their own.
The contradiction is difficult to ignore.
Faced with scrutiny and findings, DPP Sally Dowling received unified institutional protection.
But when mere allegations of "prior misconduct" were made against two lawyers by the Attorney General's office, those allegations were relied upon as though they had been established through lawful findings, despite no such findings ever existing.
Two lawyers lost their practising rights.
Their law firm.
Their livelihood.
No lawful finding.
When scrutiny was directed at one of their own, following a parliamentary process involving submissions, evidence, witnesses, admissions, and findings, the AG and legal establishment doubled down, invoking reputation, status, titles, and opinion in her defence.
An appeal to authority.
One standard for the inner circle.
Another for those outside their circle who expose them to scrutiny.
If this is how institutions protect one of their own despite findings, imagine the protection afforded when two lawyers report people and institutions within that same circle.
Retaliation.
Loss of livelihood.
Silence.
⚖️ Titles are not evidence. Reputation is not evidence. Findings matter. Accountability must apply equally to all.
