Effin' smart-ass.
I don't know much about the courts in Australia, but I take it from your response that public defenders there also don't have much say at all in who they're assigned to represent to the best of their abilities; high burn-out rate for them here in the US. The ones who enjoy it or can easily stomach it often move on to private practice for big bucks.
