Taking up the position is Jon White, who currently leads the prosecution branch in the head office of the Commonwealth DPP. White replaces Richard Refshauge, who was appointed as a judge of the ACT Supreme Court last December.

The appointment has been so long coming that White may have a challenge ahead of him, with the ABC reporting last week that six of the department’s 26 prosecutors had recently resigned.
