Unveiling Australia's Power Dynamics: A Lawyer's Insight

Everyone thinks power in Australia lives in Parliament or the courtroom. They're wrong.
By the time your case reaches a judge, the real decisions have already been made, quietly, upstream, by people you've never heard of, using documents you've never seen.

I'm James Glissan. Former police officer, former prosecutor, now criminal defence lawyer. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly where power actually lives in this country and more importantly, how to use it.

We're talking about:

Why the executive branch holds more day-to-day power over your life than any court
How prosecutorial discretion works and what happens before a charge is continued in court
Why your employment contract is the most powerful legal document in your life right now
The Fair Work Commission: what it is, why it's not a court, and why that matters for you
The new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) and how to use it to challenge government decisions on Centrelink, NDIS, and more
How to actually engage with the system without a law degree

The system doesn't ignore people who don't know how it works. It just moves on without them.

This is your map.
