On consistency, the in camerarule was mentioned. I studied family law. From an academic perspective it is very difficult to access case law, particularly given the anonymisation of parties. How can that issue be dealt with even from an academic point of view? Dr. Walsh mentioned the media perspective and the difficulties involved in getting an allocation and reporting family law cases. From an academic perspective, what could the State do to facilitate more collaboration on an ongoing basis in order to drive consistency from the academic pillar and allow a higher degree of case reporting? That would promote consistency across the Judiciary.
