S4 E5: Morrison’s Multiple Ministries + Can A Guilty Plea and Conviction Be Set Aside By An Appeal Court

View descriptionShare

In this month's episode, the wigs deep dive into two topics. Firstly the political/legal drama that has been dominating political news headlines of late. That is, the revelations that former prime minister Scott Morrison secretly swore himself into multiple ministries during 2020/21. 

Secondly, the wigs look at a recent decision of the NSW court of criminal appeal in a case called Stuart, where the court applied the principles around when a plea of guilty and subsequent conviction can be set aside by an appeal court. The interesting facts of the case include the court's finding that a solicitor entered pleas of guilty without taking instructions from the client.
