Australia's most senior public prosecutors have rejected a suggestion
that their decisions should be subject to judicial review at a
discussion about how the criminal justice system manages sexual abuse
cases. An absence of review increases the risk of administrative failure.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse invited Directors of Public Prosecutions from each state and territory as well as victims' rights advocates to the meeting to examine the question of external oversight of DPPs and whether there should be avenues for victims to seek a review of a decision not to prosecute.
