Petition updateGina Rinehart: Withdraw your subpoenas against Adele Ferguson and Steve Pennells #pressfreedomPowerful Lawyer Mark Wilks From Corrs Chambers Westgarth Pens Open Letter

Corrs Partner Mark Wilks, high profile and respected commercial litigation and ADR lawyer has given a deadline for me to publish his letter and one other. Here is the open letter, which as it is in the public domain, you can read it here http://www.hancockprospecting.com.au/files/Open%20Letter%20-%20Dear%20Mr%20Heffernan.pdf
Strangely absent is the Corrs' letterhead or branding. This prestigious and powerful firm are also fierce defenders of a certain church in the face of allegations of institutional child abuse and subsequent cover up, so why wouldn't these first class hired guns put their brand to the letter?
Mr Wilks also seems confused about shield laws which don't adequately protect a journo once the source is known and the MEAA code of ethics which protects the source's information even when that source is known.
