While the likelihood of a pending vacancy is far from confirmed, judicial watchers have set their sights on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , a progressive icon who turned 85 this year, and Kennedy, a critical swing vote who has been the subject of retirement rumors for the second straight year. The taskforce proposals for the justice system are based on research, published this month, showing only 13 per cent of all sexual violence cases reported to police result in convictions. Eternity and the Ant. When life's trials and tribulations shake our very core. A Night at the Animal Shelter.

New South Wales defines consent as "if the person freely and voluntarily agrees to the sexual intercourse". The four non-government taskforce members recommend going much further to disclose the accused's past sexual convictions and the complainant's past complaints against him. They say juries should also be directed that no corroborating or forensic evidence is necessary to convict someone in a sex case, that they may draw "an adverse inference" if an accused opts not to give evidence, that there can be good reasons for a complainant not complaining straight after a sexual assault, and that in sex cases "the standard of beyond reasonable doubt does not mean that no doubt can exist in their minds".
