Dear Attorney General
While we are waiting for the Law Reform Commission of WA’s Report as indicated by us in our email to you dated 9th June 2011, we are surprised to find that the President of the British Columbia Bar the Honourable GORDON TURRIFF Q.C. had already criticized the failings of our Australian regulators of the legal profession as early as September, 2009.
There is no denying that he had made a serious study of our irregular regulatory system and found something amiss..... The flaw of our system that is adjusted to cater for the endemic cronyism and corruption in our Barnett government that has already been criticized by our beloved former WA Labour Premier Professor Geoff Gallop that has been highlighted by the Western Australian on the 18th day of November, 2011.
That criticism is impliedly focussed on the aspect of the WA Regulator in particular, which does not preserve the independence of lawyers as in the case of Mr. Nicholas N Chin just as any member of the judiciary needs its independence to be preserved in order to be able to deliver justice to the common people.
The learned President indicates to that Lawyer's Independence is a sine qua non to Judiciary Independence and any repression upon the BAR by the BENCH speaks of corruption of the latter at its core. The repression of the BAR can only be achieved by the BENCH failing to protect the most fundamental and sacrosanct principle of a true democracy like Australia in the RULE OF LAW.
We look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future.
Yours respectfully,
Eddie Hwang
President

PROFESSOR GEOFF GALLOPS ATTACKS BID TO REDIRECT CCC - PUBLIC SECTOR MISCONDUCT
Gallop attacks bid to redirect CCC

Former premier Geoff Gallop yesterday attacked the Barnett Government's plan to shift the Corruption and Crime Commission's focus away from public sector misconduct.
In a rare foray into local politics since his retirement in 2006, Professor Gallop - one of the architects of the CCC - told an international audience of law enforcement experts that the proposed move ran counter to the intentions of the WA Parliament, which passed the CCC legislation in 2003.
He told 517 delegates from across Australia and countries including South Africa, New Zealand and Britain that public sector integrity was one of the "foundation stones of good government". The CCC had only been in existence a short time and "now is hardly the time to take our eye off the ball", Professor Gallop, now director of the graduate school of government at the University of Sydney, said.
"There's too much at stake," he told the Australian Public Sector Anti-Corruption Conference at Fremantle's Esplanade Hotel.
The Barnett Government plans to introduce legislation refocusing the CCC to tackle organised crime in co-operation with WA Police, while leaving public sector misconduct to the Public Sector Commission.
Professor Gallop's speech added to high-level criticism of the move from figures including CCC parliamentary inspector Christopher Steytler and Parliament's CCC oversight committee. Outside the conference, Professor Gallop said the proposal was "a serious mistake and it goes against all of the advice that we as politicians have got in WA from major inquiries in the past 20 years".
"It's a real concern because the royal commission back in the 1990s made it absolutely clear what we needed and we acted on their advice," he said.
Professor Gallop said other agencies were specifically devoted to dealing with organised crime and the PSC did not have the investigative powers to deal with serious misconduct and corruption in and around government.
Views on both sides of the debate over the CCC's future were aired at the three-day conference, which ended yesterday
