940 THE ADVOCATE
VOL. 79 PART 6 NOVEMBER 2021
seems the irony of the situation is
lost on those lawyers who call for
impingement of the freedom of
expression and freedom of the
press.

Dear Editor,
Re: “Grumble” by the Hon. Grant
Burnyeat, Q.C.
(2021) 79 Advocate 767
I was delighted to see the sole
Grumble published in the September
2021 edition of the Advocate.
The former LSBC treasurer not
only quoted Master Funduk’s very
famous comments about stare decisis,
but also signalled the re-emergence
of L.A.R.G.E.! As someone of
rather average proportions (if I do
say so myself), I always delighted
in the witty banter back and forth
between S.M.A.L.L. and L.A.R.G.E.
What a masterful performance by
the Hon. Grant Burnyeat, Q.C.!

Dear Editor,
Re: The Advocate Wine
I recently learned that Coonawarra
Wineries in South Australia
produces a Cabernet Sauvignon
blend named “The Advocate”. If
you could please bring this letter to
Michael Welsh, Q.C.’s attention
(our colleague learned in the law
and in the delights of Dionysian
libation), perhaps he may be able
to acquire a bottle of The Advocate
and let us know whether drinking
it is nearly as enjoyable as reading
the Advocate.

Dear Editor,
Re: Practice Direction 59
I am completely in favour of pronouns
being declared in court per
Practice Directive 59. My only
question is why is the judge or justice
not expected to do the same?
