Last night, I discussed with Alan Jones (Sky News) issues surrounding criminal OHS prosecutions of the Victorian government over the hotel quarantine mess. The discussion is here.
The key point is that there must be consistency in the application of the law. There cannot be one rule for the rulers and another for the people who are ruled. To do that would amount to a collapse of the rule of law in society.
The issue is not one of party politics. It’s about the very foundations upon which a fair, just and civilised society stands. Government cannot be above the rule of law. That’s Communist China, not Australia.
