Solicitor strikes over new payment reforms continue
Summary
Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan accused solicitors of targeting rape cases during their legal aid protest, a claim solicitor Michael Finucane strongly refuted as a cynical political distortion. Finucane argued that the minister is mischaracterizing a complete withdrawal of criminal defense services to smear the profession, noting that all case types were affected across multiple courts.
