"My source tells me that the Industry Complaints Commissioner left to reinvigorate and pursue a legal career as a Barrister in NSW, and intends to practice in criminal law, aviation law and administrative law and on that basis has nothing public to offer at the moment. I believe he is quietly helping out a couple of our older drivers who have fallen foul of CASA and their employers."
It would be a bit hard for him to practise as a barrister or solicitor (or any other form of law - including giving legal advice) when he doesn't have a law degree. Perhaps he should do some proper legal studies first and get a law degree.
See the following exchange in the Senate:
Senator HEFFERNAN
—Are you a lawyer?
Mr Hart
—No, I am not a practising lawyer.
Senator HEFFERNAN
—So why do you say the law? What bit of the law are you in—bush
law? Or are you an articled clerk?
Mr Hart
—No. I studied initially in the bush and at the University of New England.
Senator HEFFERNAN
—You did not complete your exams?
Mr Hart—I have not completed them, no.
From what I understand his "legal studies" were minimal. So how can he be pursuing a career as a Barrister
