- Judicial independence – from what and to what end-Chief Justice of Australia Susan Kiefel(27/03/2021) - "Judicial Independence" is a subtle concept. In the Australian constitutional context, it is often spoken of as a systemic quality. For example it has been said that it is "fundamental to the common law system of adversarial trial" that it be "conducted by an independent and impartial tribunal”, and that this principle is “fundamental to the Australian judicial system".

Privilege in this restricted and special sense is often confused with privilege in the colloquial sense of a special benefit or special arrangement which gives some advantage to either House or its members. Privileges in the colloquial sense, however useful or well-established they might be, have nothing to do with immunities under the law. The word “immunity” is best used in relation to privilege in the sense of immunity under the law, and is used here.
