Unfinished business for Abbott, Brandis | The Australian
Chris Merritt here overlooks an obvious solution - replace Tony Abbott with Malcolm Turnbull and the Triggs "problem" goes away.
Merritt's argument is rubbish anyway - does he think a government can fairly remove an appointee to a statutory authority just by arguing they think the person is biased by the timing of one report? The Coalition complaint about Triggs is trumped up, bullying rubbish.
Saying that Triggs has to go because of the government not liking her (which is essentially all that has happened) is ludicrous. Triggs isn't hurting the HRC - it's the government that has shot itself in the foot.
