The following residents of the ACT draw the attention of the Assembly concerns at the lack of transparency and current due process undertaken in appointments to the Judiciary with fears of inappropriate representation of unelected groups in consultation and open to political influence. Currently a closed shop/boys club with no transparency.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call upon the Government to commission an independent review to investigate concerns of undue influence from non-elected bodies and persons, and political directions and influence in appointments. Recommendation to consider a Board for appointment for inclusion of community expectation - coroners, ACT Policing, DPP, emergency services, first responder, social work and community care and other key community organisations.
