Australian Bar expresses concern about ill-informed criticism
Friday, 02 September 2011

The Australian Bar Association has urged commentators to respect the High Court's decision to grant a permanent injunction against the Australian Government transferring asylum seekers to Malaysia.

ABA President Michael Stewart S.C. said: "Disappointed litigants must not attack the court just because their arguments have been rejected by it...It is especially important for the comment to be fair when made by someone as influential as the prime minister."
