Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says the public should help select judges and magistrates in state courts, leaving the door open to the direct election of judges. Mr Dutton has been a vocal crusader against "pathetically weak" bail and sentencing decisions made by the courts, particularly in relation to gang violence in Victoria. I know I want my legal system to copy America's.

He's way way to the right of Labor the only place it counts - which is where he puts his vote come division time. He talks like he's some progressive solution to SA's woes, but he's just another neoliberal shitstain.

I mean cast your mind back to the constant fuckups by Abbott Govt ministers between 2013 and 2016 and Feeney wouldn't even make the radar. I think Turnbull's chief achievement will be, excluding the citizenship debacle, his ability to keep the Federal Liberal party room from blundering into a forced resignation every couple weeks.

Why don't we start instead with direct election of FWC and Administrative Appeals commissioners? Oh no, those are plum spots reserved for failed politicians and IPA shills. In all seriousness, spots like those should have some scrutiny, maybe Senate confirmable?

bandaid.friend posted:I think it's important Aboriginal Australians are the ones who have the right to set the message on Aboriginal issues, especially considering Australia's history of denying them self-determination. Not picking on you specifically, bandaid, but I think this is a huge problem: the idea that there is a single, unified, indigenous voice. There's no such thing. The issues of indigenous people in Karratha are totally different to the issues in, say, Brunswick. Since it's a Commonwealth power, it all gets treated with the same brush, and ultimately nothing gets done (also because it's just plain not a priority, but that isn't the only issue). Take alcohol bans, for instance - some communities love them and argue the results speak for themselves. Other communities see them as patronising and denying self-determination. There's no single right answer, and one way or the other you're making your own value judgement.
