Prime Minister’s consultant and Law Reform Commission president has public meltdown

That the Prime Minister is not fit for purpose is now indisputable. That his choice of appointees is highly questionable has long been clear. But last night his consultant on justice reform, who was also his choice of “president of the Law Reform Commission” and remains his ongoing choice as the man to chair his Constitutional Reform Convention for a Second Republic, had a very public meltdown on the internet beneath this news story.

This is by no means the first such meltdown. I’ve reported others on this website. But it is one of the worst as it involves highly disparaging remarks about the Justice Minister and engagement in very inappropriate exchanges with others.

He was bickering with other readers when I entered the fray and the inevitable happened. You would think he would know better, but the man is from another planet (and that’s being polite).
