    The other thing about Brandis is, he plainly knows that Gleeson is a superior lawyer in every way to himself -- and he hates it.

        Brandis on RN citing 12(b) of the Law Officers Act as the only mode for seeking S-G’s advice seems to have overlooked 12(a). @BernardKeane

        yes, as Gleeson points out. No power to constrain his role.

        The conveyancing shop down the street has more legal smarts than Brandis.

        Exactly - he only got a QC because he was from a small pool of Qld Bar. He's never advocated in a major case as QC.

        Liberals have a penchant for appointing low ranking lawyers for top jobs. Look at Jarrod Bleijie QC in Lib gov

        Not to take anything away from Gleeson, but it doesn't take much effort to be superior to Brandis et al.
