We do have Legal Aid but not in Family Court Matters involving property. They wont even consult in the office. Legal Aid funding has been heavily cut and even serious criminal matters dont get adequate representation. A high profile rape case in Sydney which has had patchy but sensational media coverage was interesting in that the defendant sacked his state appointed lawyer and wanted to defend himself. A law was hastily passed preventing the defendent from cross examining the complainant and the controversy was hosed off.
Initially it was presented by the media as a gang of religiously motivated Lebanesse Muslim youths who pick young Christian girls at random and using Cell Phones hunted them down and pack raped them. It ran nicely with the backdrop of the invasion of Iraq. From the snipets that have leaked out it seems that there is virtually no truth in that.
It is an interesting case for a number of reasons. I should dig it up an see if it is of interest in the General Forum.
