Canberra, 16 February 2017

Local understandings of justice: Justice is…

• … when there is a dispute that is resolved with both sides agreeing.

• … about being at peace with yourself.

• … when the WA resolves an issue.

• … about law and order.

• … when there is a fair hearing.

• … the absence of bribery.

• … when big cases are made small and small cases are made to disappear.
