Rugged up in Albury’s QE11 Square for the 13th and last Winter Solstice of its kind, and what a heartwarming 13 years it’s been. Shining light on suicide on the darkest night ❤️
@benwatsonlawyer Hi Ben. Unsure if you’ve read the story. The Commissioner speaks to the victims consideration/notification/submission issue. Victims aren’t being contacted. There’s no provision in the Act for it. Sounds like you’d have good insight for the current review.

The Supreme Court dismissed complaints against Judge Peter Vickery a decade ago and moved the associate who made them to another judge’s chambers. A new associate was hired to work for him. Both women have now made sexual harassment allegations.

Brett Sutton’s executive assistant was accused (and cleared) of media leaks. Police raid, arrested, fired. Dragged through court for trying to get a manicure. If you were a public servant, you’d be watching closely. Chilling stuff. Well written @tminear.
