We noticed when we opened our email copy of Australian lawyers weekly this morning it is obvious that an editorial decision has been made that it isn’t an important issue that the country’s AG has stood down (maybe?) over allegations of historical rape and they decided to relegate the story below the likes of really important things like … ummm “Pricing Models” !!!
It made us think…… let’s pop around the Australian online legalsphere and see who has said what.. see our results below will unsurprise most Australians who know how this country is run but i hope shocks our international readers into thinking what on earth is wrong with that country.
How our email Aus Lawyers weekly turned up this morning…….

NSW Attorney-General says many ‘screaming for law reform’ in wake of sex assault allegations
although all Speakman can say is
Mr Speakman on Tuesday fronted a NSW budget estimates hearing, defending the time it has taken to respond to last year’s review by the NSW Law Reform Commission.
“If you look at the revelations and the stories at the moment, I think that there will be many people screaming for action, screaming for law reform and screaming for cultural change. But I respect the cabinet process,” he said.
Radio silence here too !
