bainer they are going to self represent if they get to local country in vic court and there is no legal aid or aboriginal legal aid solicitor for them i have worked in the courts i have spent days pre court dates ensuring there is a legal aid solicitor to have it pulled at last minute people who have been summonsed to the courts then have to self represent unless the court on the day appoints a duty solicitor some may choose to self represent though as it cuts out all that argie bargie between solicitors with little regard to the client that happens its also far cheaper and many times very effective
