Australia’s feminised legal system

Last year I was called up for jury duty. I made it to the jury selection in the courtroom which is the second stage in selecting the members of the jury.

In front of me – and the other prospective jury members – were a female judge, a female and a male associate to support the judge, a female barrister and a female solicitor for the defence, and a male barrister and a female solicitor for the prosecution. A female clerk was in charge of herding those for jury selection.

The female solicitor for the prosecution wore an expression of permanent fury – and the gay colours. I was not selected in the ballot.

Most graduates from university legal departments are now female.

The predominance of females in the law system is a total turnaround of the male-to-female ratio in the legal system. It’s safe to say that the overwhelming majority of those females are feminist activists, as in all sectors where females make it to executive positions. The female CEOs in the supermarket and airline sectors are not shy about announcing their intentions to pursue relentlessly quotas, that is, giving preference to females.

Jarryd Hayne was a fool not to suspect the trap he was walking into. But being a fool does not automatically mean one is guilty of each and every crime levelled against one – except if you’re a male.

Hayne’s experience in the Australian legal system has been a pitiless farce. What especially marks the feminist activist is her pitiless vindictiveness.
