The coalition is pushing for a change in the election of the Ombudsman for Judges - contrary to the Attorney General's stance

The Law, Justice and Constitution Committee approved the bill for a second and third reading, which will allow the coalition to control the committee for the selection of the Public Complaints Commissioner against judges. The bill was approved despite the opposition of the Attorney General - and it is expected to take effect immediately. In the judicial system, warnings are being issued against politicization and harm to the independence of judges.
