That's right, many lawyers/barristers etc. go into politics and hopefully have good intentions and some are probably very good, but the suspicion is always there that they do this to help make new laws and drum up business for their old buddies in the legal profession.
Gough Whitlam was a lawyer and he gave his colleagues a bonanza in the form of the Family Court, what more proof do we need.
We need new laws to control the excesses of the legal industry such as maximum fee regulations and more competition to break the monopoly. This has always been a subject nobody in power would raise, as if politicians were afraid of the legal profession.
If anyone was writing legislation to create a cashcow for a privelleged fraternity, they'd need look no further than the Family Law Industrial Complex. We've had 28 inquiries and no real reform or improvement in outcomes of FL cases :-(, yet the soaring profitability of this sector of Law continues unabated. It will be interesting how the AG, CJ, and woke media will sell the systemic failure of the FC to conclude FC cases within a year of filing, which was the selling point for the merger of the FCoA and the FCC, no doubt it will be blamed on the number of cases where a litigant is self-representing (purportedly 40% litigants now self-rep & even though the FC doesn't disclose gender, we can easily guess)
