[edit] Why all those judges?

This article is, at the moment, a bit imbalanced. Do we really need a list of all those judges? Is anyone really going to write articles about them? Some judges do have interesting careers (eg Tony North seems to attract some doozies: the waterfront conspiracy case, the MV Tampa habeas corpus case, etc), but most of them will rise and fall unnoticed by anyone in particular. Possible additions (which I might be able to get to at some stage - i'm going to invest most of my wiki-energies on australian law for a while) would be the story about how the Court came to be established, and a list of significant cases. -- SilasM, 13 Jan 2005

[edit] Selective deletion

I am about to delete from the article history those revisions whose content and/or edit summaries libel Xtra, per Wikipedia's libel policy. Selective deletion requires full deletion followed by selective restoration. Therefore this article will be deleted for a very brief period of time. Snottygobble 02:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
