Checks and Balances: Freedom of Press and an Independent Judiciary

RULE OF LAW EDUCATION CENTRE

In 1823 Chief Justice Francis Forbes arrived in the colony with the New South Wales Act (UK) 1823 establishing the NSW Supreme Court.  A few years later, military man Governor Darling arrived in the Colony with strict instructions to make the colony a place of terror!  It wasn’t long until these two figures clashed. But who would prevail? Should those living in the colony have the same rights as those in England? Would there be a free press that criticised the actions of the Governor?  Would the Governor be able to bully the Chief Justice to get his new laws past?  This storybook illustrates how the freedom of the press and an independent judiciary provided a check on the Governor’s power.
