Justice Wilson – The Remaining Questions

Bill Wilson

‘Briefcase‘ reports on the Justice Wilson resignation, commenting that he was never going to face the music at the Judicial Conduct Panel hearing.  As John Bowie writes:   ” But while the retirement may appear to avoid nasty questions, it also leaves many unanswered.  For instance, what did the Chief Justice know about his relationship with Alan Galbraith?  How effective was Judicial Conduct Commissioner Sir David Gascoigne in making his initial report recommending the panel?  What is the future for the Supreme Court and should we be considering a regional court as many have suggested?  After all, two Australian judges were called upon to help with this mess.  But mostly, what damage has been done to the Court and the Bar as a result of the disclosures, including those from Sir Edmund Thomas, a man who has been sent to Coventry from all accounts.  Bill Wilson may have gone.  The unanswered questions haven’t.”
