Queensland’s veteran human rights warrior on ‘miscarriages of justice’ past and present

Retiring criminal lawyer Terry O’Gorman, who famously took on Joh Bjelke-Petersen, is withering about David Crisafulli’s new law and order crackdown

Framed on the wall of Terry O’Gorman’s office in inner-city Brisbane is a white vest and a cartoon.

The criminal lawyer wore the legal observer’s vest as a law student with an Art Garfunkel-esque mop of curls during the brutal crackdown on those protesting against the now infamous tour of the apartheid-era South African rugby team in the early days of the Joh Bjelke-Petersen regime.
