About this listen

The Wigs discuss the latest from the monumental High Court decision in Love v Cth (why Aboriginal non-citizens can’t be deported). Plus an in depth interview with Sydney Morning Herald court reporter Michaela Whitbourn and the curious story of Alfred Piddington, Australia’s shortest serving High Court justice. Why did he never hear a case?
