This Pinko bloggy blog blog thingy is principally concerned with the Miracle of Democracy, whenever and wherever it occurs. It is not politically correct, and usually consists of hugely opinionated diatribes on the various vagaries of the Miracle. Vote early! Vote often! All care taken, no responsibility accepted. A work in progress. The Miracle of Democracy is yours, so enjoy!

Not only must Constitutional justice be done, it must also be seen to been done:
"Chief justices, like the other justices, give a part of their lives to the service of this court and thereby to the people of Australia," she said.
"That service is not given for the purpose of personal acknowledgement or the enhancement of reputation."
"It is given to ensure that this court is maintained as an institution in which the Government, the legislature, the legal profession and the people of Australia can have confidence."
