The cab rank principle and the rule in Browne v Dunn are safe, as they should be. It's not about blindly accepting every allegation as truth, or not testing allegations. It's not all defence counsel who are part of the problem. Just as I am proud of the book it is based on, Witness. I'm proud of it because I believe that it is not too much to ask that complainants of sexual crimes be treated with dignity and respect. I'm reminded of my favourite saying by Michelle Obama: "When they go low, we go high". In the nation's parliament and the national broadsheet. I have been repeatedly misquoted, verballed. There has been an awful lot of hot air expended over the past few days. ![]()
