It is clear from Ms Egan's submission so far that she is not resourced. This is not a reflection on Ms Egan, but she is not resourced and there does not seem to be any indication that she will be resourced. The reality is that those people seeking international protection will get inadequate legal advice through no fault of Ms Egan's practitioners or anything like that, but because the system will be so rushed and she will not be resourced to provide that service to them.
