Why not Susan Kiefel have the former Inspector General Of Intelligence & Security investigate the security and professional implications of Zhu Minsnhen's license to issue law degrees: If former IGIS Vivienne Thom can investigate Dyson Heydon, she can also investigate Tom Bathurst and his NSW LPAB's dealings with Zhu Mishen

Last month Joe Catanzariti, the chairman of the College of Law, wrote to the Law Society asking that the relationship between the two bodies be terminated.  The COL claims that the Law Society's role on its board of governors is conflicted because it also engages in continuing legal education, one of the COL's core businesses.   Quoting the ...
