ACT pledge 'racist & inhumane'

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Would one really assume that though? He has a family to provide for and a mortgage to pay and he's already picked a relatively poorly paid area of law (public defence) out of a sense of duty, so you can hardly expect him to risk everything by going on a one man crusade against the cultural reports.  If you can't accept that a white man is going to be promptly written off as a racist bigot should he question the report process, you're either extremely naive or blinded by your own ideology.

I am what? Argue the post, not the poster.

I think anyone who practices as a defence lawyer should do so from a strong ethical and moral position. So if that person sees something they see as corrupt they should have the courage to do something about it, not worry about their own self interest.
