Alex White (Labour)

I assure Senator O'Toole that there are many in the legal profession who are just as appalled, shocked and amazed as he is at the story he related and the level of fees marked in the case mentioned. As the decision is being appealled, we cannot debate the matter in too much detail. However, the Senator's amazement is shared across the legal profession. It would be a mistake for anyone to think the fees in question are typical of what lawyers across the board earn.
