Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus is getting that rare distinction of making Lionel Murphy look like a half-decent Attorney-General! This is the Attorney-General who is spending a billion dollars to change one letter—to go from the AAT to the ART: $1 billion! The letter 'R' has become the most expensive letter in the alphabet! But of course this is the Attorney-General who has the odious honour of being the first law officer, the first person, to be referred to the NACC for allegations of corruption. Shame on the Attorney-General! He's the first law officer and the worst law officer of this country.
