A cohort of retired judges and prominent senior lawyers, including former high court judge Michael McHugh, former federal court judge Peter Heerey, and leading barristers Stuart Wood, and Neil Young, have published a letter to the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews objecting to the proposed Emergency Measures Bill.
In the letter, the group stated that they were “deeply concerned” by the expansion of the powers of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (pdf) that are involved in the Omnibus bill .
