The Briefing …
Good morning, and welcome to The Briefing.
It is believed that federal ministers Alan Tudge, Greg Hunt and Michael Sukkar will today, through their lawyers, make a special, “abject” apology to the Victorian judiciary. In comments expressed on social media and to The Australian, the trio condemned Victorian judges for perceived leniency – the result of “ideological experimentation” – and have since been making their way through various stages of contrition as they faced the threat of being charged with contempt and of scandalising the court. The men will hope that today’s special court hearing will end the matter.
