@DemianDunkley Demian's attribution of President Lee's remarks about Korean judiciary to Trump's intervention is profoundly ignorant. Lee stated that the most important priority is prosecution reform in his first press conference, Jul 3, 2025.
@DemianDunkley Lee Jae Myung’s 2025 reform drive aims to overhaul Korea’s powerful prosecution service — long accused of politicized investigations. His plan: separate investigative and indictment powers, expand anti-corruption bodies, and curb prosecutorial overreach. koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/pol…
@DemianDunkley Lee has historically argued that “the same entity should not both investigate and indict.” His blueprint dismantles the current unified Prosecution Service and replaces it with two agencies: one for investigation, one for indictment/trial. english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…
@DemianDunkley He plans to create a Serious Crimes Investigation Agency (중대범죄수사청) to take over major probes, leaving prosecutors to focus on charging and courtroom duties.
➡️ Korea Times (30 Jun 2025) koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/pol…
@DemianDunkley Lee also wants to expand the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), calling it under-resourced and too dependent on the prosecution.
➡️ Asia Business Daily 15 April 2025 asiae.co.kr/en/article/202…
@DemianDunkley He proposes restricting prosecutors’ right to appeal acquittals, which he says burdens citizens and undermines judicial fairness.
➡️ JoongAng Daily (30 Sep 2025) koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-09-3…
@DemianDunkley These reforms are part of a wider set of 123 policy tasks, alongside constitutional and governance changes — meant to “rebalance institutional power” and restore public trust.
➡️ Korea Times (16 Sep 2025) koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/pol…
@DemianDunkley Supporters see a historic chance to end politically-motivated probes and curb the elite prosecution’s power. Critics warn it could weaken checks against corruption.
➡️ Hankyoreh September 2025 english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_e…
@DemianDunkley Implementation is planned for 2026, pending legislation. Whether Lee can push these changes through Korea’s divided National Assembly will define his presidency.
@DemianDunkley In short:

🔹 Split investigation & indictment
🔹 Create new crime investigation agency
🔹 Empower CIO
🔹 Limit prosecutorial appeals
🔹 Embed in constitutional reform

Lee’s 2025 judicial-reform agenda is Korea’s boldest in decades. 🇰🇷⚖️

When did the LNP coalition first announce its support for First Nations recognition in the Australian constitution start? Was it earlier than PM @johnjowardpm's 2007 announcement?

smh.com.au/national/pm-pr…
@johnjowardpm PM
@HonTonyAbbott
'recommitted himself to “correcting the great silence” in Australia’s constitution' in 2015. When did you begin to support recognition, Mr. Abbott?
theguardian.com/australia-news…
@johnjowardpm @HonTonyAbbott I'm looking for a timeline. Just found this. @TurnbullMalcolm and @billshortenmp jointly appointed the Referendum Council on 7 December 2015.

@ShireenMorrisMs mentioned "the LNP co-designed Voice report." Is this it? Doing my own research and landed here🙂
voice.niaa.gov.au/final-report
@ShireenMorrisMs And, if you see this @ShireenMorrisMs, is this the "the government's design principles" you mentioned?" voice.niaa.gov.au/sites/default/…
@ShireenMorrisMs And thanks for the tip re the book and Warren Mundine's 2017 essay. He did argue "for constitutional change" including "a national body" representing local and regional communities "because of the voice it gives to Indigenous Australians."

Tucker's natural immunity expert got his PhD in foreign policy so fast that he did not have time to change his shirt (Tucker Carlson Tonight 2/25/22).
Someone said, "he wasn't wrong on some of his views, and there are some PhDs who agree with him."
Yes. Some PhDs are saying Biden is to blame for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. US and NATO should have backed off from consideration of Ukraine's admission into NATO membership. In other words, the US and allies should have allowed Ukraine to become Putin's vassal state.
