Judges need to face up to reality

I HAVE just finished reading the judges’ treatise setting out their considered opinion of their position in regard to the forthcoming constitutional referendum on their remuneration.

The supercilious nature of the content must be particularly repugnant to the sensibilities of anyone who has suffered under the burden of unemployment, crippling mortgage repayments, pay cuts (especially public servants), etc.

These people must think they have been divinely chosen rather than appointed by government to the positions they hold.
