Many years ago the majority view was that the Earth was flat, and this view persisted for quite some time since anybody challenging this orthodoxy was labelled a heretic because innovation, as a word, was not around at the time.

Change and the public interest are not synonymous.

I am sure that I am not the only solicitor tiring of the constant wave of pro-ABS propaganda coming out of the Gazette.

Presumbly every change can be justified on "innovation" grounds, so that those barristers and solicitors facing a bleak future following the changes to criminal legal aid can seek solace in the fact that their work in future will be undertaken by innovative but ethically challenged new law firms!
