13/02/2015

During Question Time in yesterday's sitting of the Australian Parliament, Prime Minister Abbott quoted at length from a video recording, which the Federal Police allege was made by two men planning to commit terrorist offences. President Jane Needham SC has expressed the Bar Association's concern that the prime minister's actions could prejudice a future trial. Her remarks were aired by 2GB, ABC 702, 2SM and Radio National's AM show. Copies of the transcripts are available in the Bar Library.
