“Law Association disagrees with Minister Shane Jones’ ‘attacks’ on judiciary
Minister Shane Jones has been on the receiving end of some backlash after his comments on the judiciary.
Attorney-General Judith Collins plans to speak to Jones following a recent incident where he called a High Court judge a ‘communist’ – prompting concern from New Zealand Bar Association.
Law Association Vice President Julie-Anne Kincade says respecting the judiciary is vital in a democracy.
“I also share the concerns about some of the ways our politicians are expressing their views.”
