How many cases does it take before a government realises it's breaking the law? Do you know what the royal commission found out? In over 500 cases at the AAT, not once did the government's lawyers ever argue that they could rely on any law. It was a cowardly government. I'd just ask for one thing from the Leader of the Opposition: admit you were wrong then. (Time expired)
