Yet another ‘ARSIE’ – And yet again nothing will change. As well, the attorney general is to provide contracted lawyers – WHY? Isn’t this the govt trying to influence what submitters are putting forward with THEIR ‘advice’ from govt contractors. HOW IS THAT AN ‘INDEPENDENT’ INQUIRY ??
AND no mention of the fact that the lawyers will have to be PAID FOR – by submitters, who USE the legal vultures!!
This is worst than any Monty Python sketch – by Slo Mo – again. THIS WEEK ONLY ?
