The effect of this Government cockup will be akin to a chef overcooking a steak, then burning it completely, then smearing a wet dog turd on top of the steak,and then serving it to a customer. IE why bugger it up once when you can cockitup three times

The Government need to sort out the current system first before more reforms, the court system is a mess, it doesnt need anything else doing to it now.
