Is it time we elected judges in Australia?

Ordinary Australians are being held to ransom by activist groups that do not represent the mainstream.

The Palestinian Action Group’s win in the Supreme Court of NSW is not a victory for freedom of speech. It demonstrates that unelected judges are able to stymy the ability of NSW Police to put a stop to a protest that endangers peace and public order.

It begs the question: Who holds judges to account?

My latest in The Spectator Australia, Is it time we elected judges in Australia?

Today’s decision to allow the Palestine Action Group, the same group that organised the October 9, 2023, rally that got out of hand at the Sydney Opera House, to march across the Harbour Bridge tomorrow makes no sense at all.https://t.co/qxvREhc9A1
