New watchdog proposed to probe behaviour of WA judges
Complaints about the behaviour and capacity of judges and magistrates will be investigated by an independent watchdog, under new legislation to be introduced to WA parliament this week.
Western Australia plans to introduce legislation that would establish an independent watchdog to examine complaints about judges and magistrates. The proposed body aims to assess both conduct and competence within the judiciary. Lawmakers will debate the bill in parliament this week. The initiative reflects growing concern over judicial accountability. It is expected to provide a formal mechanism for handling grievances. The watchdog would operate separately from existing judicial oversight. The legislation is part of broader reforms to enhance public trust in the legal system.
It seeks to strengthen judicial accountability and restore confidence in the legal system.
