That is the precise point I am making. I called it the old system. We can call it the existing system, but it was precisely that system that the Chief Justice was told last October would not be used to implement any new appointments, yet between October and last week, something happened. I am wondering if the Minister has any knowledge of what that was because the Government, the Cabinet or whoever took a different tack by using this method.
