Judges Appointed Under New Rules | Australia News
Description
The ACT’s Attorney-General is defending revamped judicial appointment rules, insisting they’re sensible and require buy-in from key legal bodies before any nominee can be approved. While the opposition accuses her of gaining unchecked power to bypass open competition, she counters that no decision is made without consensus from the Bar Association, Law Society, and Chief Justice. The debate centers on whether the new flexible process preserves public trust—or risks undermining transparency in selecting Australia’s top judges.
