"We want the Morrison Government to focus on making sure that these applications are processed quickly and fairly."

Archbishop of Melbourne says George Pell remains a friend, apologises to abuse victimsThe Archbishop of Melbourne has apologised to victims of child sex abuse by clergy and the broader community for the church’s treatment of those who were abused.

Risk to Nicola Gobbo's safety has 'enormously' increased, gangland lawyer saysA retired gangland barrister warns the widespread publication of Nicola Gobbo's image could greatly increase the risk to her life. Its time to change the legal definition of proof when prosecuting gang land figures in court, anyone with a history of crime should have there criminal records included in jury delberations so we can get criminals off the streets and out of our lives. Deserves a medal not a bullseye on her back , yet another whistleblower thrown to the wolves and even her own family have deserted her. If a client admits guilt then he is a fool for a client Innocent until proven guilty remember, so lawyer only needs to know u can pay the bill not whether u did the crime. Only dumbasses tell their legals what they did.
