“The office of Attorney-General is an ancient one that remains central to the legal system. The Attorney-General exercises many functions and powers important to the legal system but is also a politician and member of cabinet. This article explains the key functions of the Attorney-General and also the political position of that officer. The focus of the article is upon federal law. It also examines three federal Attorneys-General of modern times and considers how their actions have influenced or reflected the changing conceptions of that office. The article does not suggest that changing conceptions of the office are either good or bad, but instead that they are a reality. The article suggests that these changes provide a reason to reconsider some of the traditional privileges of the Attorney-General, such as the power to grant a fiat in judicial review claims and the Attorney’s privileged position in standing for judicial review of administrative action.”

The evidence in this case, however, reveals that the preparations for that event had a darker side.”

Gummow J: This notion of getting an Olympic medal for Australia is really, on one way of looking at it, a wish to enter into a vast commercial enterprise, is it not, partly?
Counsel: Your Honour, with respect, that is a very cynical view.
