In 2014 when Tim Carmody, a former police officer, was sworn in as Chief Justice of Queensland, he had been Chief Magistrate for only nine months and had never served on the Supreme Court.

It proposes ways Australia can improve the process of judicial appointments to avoid this kind of controversy again.
