While I would prefer that the elected Government control access to public defender programs funded by the Government, the reality is that the RBA needs more power to increase interest in the vital organization. This should be revisited at a future date.

[End]

Let me further clarify, since I've heard the RBA is vocally against this.

The lawyer is a legal advocate for the defendant in a default judgement. They advocate for them, they don't defend them, as they can't when they don't reply.


e.g. Someone is suing your client for $1,000,000 because your client stole a stack of dirt.

The lawyer will walk in and go; "your honour, no objections to the stealing offence, however, $1,000,000 is excessive for a stack of dirt. A sum of $4 is far more appropriate as the market value for a stack of dirt."

They scrutinise the case based on the known facts. Our courts are an adversarial system so both sides need legal representation.
