Former chief justice dismisses threat of ‘judicial activism’ to Voice

Former High Court chief justice Robert French has rejected talk that “activist judges” could expand the power of the Indigenous Voice to parliament as “a shadow which distracts from the substantive debate” about its merits.

He added that it was “not the function of the judicial branch to rule upon any lack of adequacy or any lack of wisdom of government policy by reference to the law of torts”.Mr French said it was “in the area of ‘core policy’ that the Voice might be expected to operate, as well as in more specific areas of law, policy and practice”.

The line: “In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia” would preface the three draft sentences Mr Albanese first proposed at the Garma festival in July. The range of matters in which representations could be made to the executive would include many matters of policy of the kind that Allsop CJ in Sharma described as ‘core policy’ and, on any view, outside the purview of the judiciary.
