Dausabea: Judicial system hijacked

E-mail Print

Dear Editor - In response to the article by Ednal Palmer in Tuesday morning’s edition of the Solomon Star, I confirm that the Chief Justice did travel to Brisbane in December 2011 as a member of an interview panel for advisor positions within the National Judiciary.


The article published is incorrect to suggest the travel was in relation to interviewing Australian Judges, as the recruitment exercise did not include any High Court Judge positions.

I understand the Director of Public Prosecutions also travelled partaking in similar interviews with respect of the Public Prosecutions Directorate.

Yours faithfully
GJ Withers
Registrar, High Court
