Australia, is an island nation that is known for its unique plants, animals and ecosystem. As it is isolated, pests and disease that exists elsewhere in the world cannot be found in Australia.
According to Australia's Biosecurity Act, introducing even small amounts of foreign material could damage local crops, spread plant diseases, or threaten native species

Ignorance of law is not an excuse and concept of Mens rea which two landmark cases? mention below 👇

The Representation of the People Act already disqualifies legislators upon conviction for crimes carrying a sentence of two years or more. That provision is justified because conviction follows judicial determination of guilt. The 130th Amendment goes further, introducing what may be called a “disqualification by suspicion.” Philosophically, it privileges the appearance of morality over the substance of due process.

Can there be a different class of legislation for Minister and non minister MPs and MLAs? even MPs have a voting power but ministers are also part of executive and even on 38Hrs of cutody bureaucrats are suspended.

130th Constitutional amendment bill.

The main problem is with presumption of innocence is gone forever, we must understand that even ministers are MPs and MLAs and are representative of people merely on suspicion no suspension direct removal that too when 30 days custody is possible when we have a delayed criminal judtice system, the remedy can be a special court MP MLA courts which can speedily try and suspension would be the Right criteria.

Role of Media in protecting public trust in judiciary.

“If the past century belonged to the struggle for free speech, perhaps the coming one will belong to the struggle for true speech — information that is accurate, ethical, and respectful of dignity.
If the past century grappled with access to justice, the coming one may grapple with fairness in technologically driven justice. And
if the past century debated the power of the press, the coming one will debate the power of algorithms. The struggle is never-ending”

Sometimes influencers and social media accounts themselves engage in selective picking of arguments/discussions being made in the Court. They extract this byte, usually termed as clickbait, to draw greater number of views to generate revenue at the cost of reputation of our Courts.

Principles required for a Judge


I had once asked Justice Iyer what his guiding principles in his role as Judge were. In his inimitable style, he said it were four and described them thus:===> The first lesson he said, fundamental to life and law, is humility without hubris and humanist hearing without “high bench” attitude; ===>the second - which he said touched his judicial heart - was the compassionate treasury of the preamble to the Constitution, particularly the words in its exordium “we, the people of India”; the ===> third, was to hear either side fairly since courage and independence obliged him to give even “the devil its due”; and ==>finally, Justice Iyer told me that his life has taught him that perfect justice is a mirage and that in pursuit of this illusion, we ought not to jeopardise that justice which is within our grasp.

By Justice Krishna Iyer (as he then was)
