informant legislation

New Australian legislation for managing human sources (confidential informants)

After spending over AUD100 million on a Royal Commission and years of adverse publicity, the State of Victoria has new legislation for managing human sources.

It is certainly going to change how things are done.

Unfortunately, this is not the end of the matter which began with police using a defence lawyer as an informant to report on her clients.

Safe to say it went badly wrong.
