Law making should be considered. Governments should not rush the process unless there is an immediate major threat to the community.
The problem with knee-jerk legal responses to a perceived ‘problem’ is that one, there is often shoddy drafting of the law, and two, governments sometimes ignore the advice of their bureaucrats and legal advisers and are running the gauntlet of the High Court.
I have heard political types say that if the High Court strikes down a contentious law then they can blame the court!
One upside however is that we have a robust court system. Executive and legislative excess can be challenged. The system worked this week.
