oh great, another politician sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong. professional bodies should focus on standards, not politics
nah mate, they need a kick up the arse. too much time on social issues, not enough on actual competence
ffs, we don't need law changes just cos one lawyer got his fee's covered. typical. let the professions regulate themselves
if you think the law society isn't full of activist lawyers you're kidding yourself. about time someone called it out
exactly. let them do their job without the political crap
i'm a student and this is just another way to silence critics. professional bodies should hold members accountable, not just look after consumers

about bloody time. these groups get away with too much virtue signalling. focus on keeping dodgy practitioners out ffs
calling out bullshit isn't virtue signalling, it's called having standards
easy for you to say when you're not the one being targeted. this is about silencing dissent
as someone in the industry, this is just a distraction. real issue is competency, not 'activism'. Franks is a tool
yeah, the irony is lost on some people. they want 'no politics' but that's a political stance itself
wonder how much energy he's wasting on this instead of actual legal reform. but hey, headlines I guess
lol cope. Franks just wants to protect his mates
lol, someone's got an axe to grind. professional bodies are exactly the place for ethical activism. grow up Franks
yeah nah, get stuffed. this is just a power grab. leave the lawyers alone
preach. the dude is a walking conflict of interest
