SA Solicitor General on Evasion

I didn't mean to post this earlier. But seeing as I accidentally did, and then ineptly tried to delete it, I figured I should put it up for good.

This little gem is from yesterday's hearing of Totani v State of South Australia (at [2010] HCATrans 157). One can only imagine how Hayne J was acting:

MARTIN HINTON QC: Agreed, those last three factors may all be relatively routine. Your Honour Justice Hayne is licking his lips, your Honour.

KIEFEL J: Justice Hayne is very keen to ask you a question.

HAYNE J: No, no, no.

MR HINTON: If I keep talking I might be able to keep him at bay a little longer.

HAYNE J: Good luck, Mr Solicitor.
