I have seen public appointments go very wrong. I have seen this system working and I have seen how it can frustrate entire organisations where there is a trickle-down effect when an appointment is made. It can cause mayhem. If it causes mayhem in organisations not responsible for the administration of justice in the State, what would it do to the administration of justice? We already have a crisis in the courts system with vacancies.
