If there is one thing about our public bodies, they absolutely hate to backtrack on their policies. Even if it is staring right at them in the face, or like here, misfiring even before they've begun to implement it.

My best wishes to the law graduates class of 2015, 2016 and 2017 from the local universities. They'll need all the luck they can get.
