An article which suggests Stary had once been openly critical of powerful people who deserved it. If he can honestly say he tried to help Julian Assange, that seems another worthwhile pursuit. Since I assume all who achieve positions up the hierarchy in the legal system (and media, politics, etc.) paid for it with at least a little of their soul, I don't have a great reason to single out this poor chap above his peers - except that this ruling was absurd.
A good summary Shane - well written and amusing,
Stary gives Kafka a run for his money.
I'm not so sure. I mislinked the second hyper link, which should have led to this: https://www.theage.com.au/national/legal-jouster-in-magistrates-court-comeback-20211214-p59hjo.html

I think the entire 'justice' system has become Kafka-esque.
I reckon The Spectator Australia might publish that. Send it to Alexandra Marshall
The suggestion is praise enough, thanks!
Nice one. Satire lives!
