Another excellent piece. You nailed it about the need for a Star Chamber. And you are spot on about the public service. It selects for conformism, not courage or initiative.

One hitch: the lawyers likely to be short-listed would quite likely be out of the mould of Starmer, Herbert or Saddiq Khan in the UK.

Australia is an administered democracy at best. The chronic weaknesses of politics and administration make Australia the ideal place for Muslim diasporic extremism.
