THE federal Attorney-General today announced three new Federal Magistrate appointments.

The government whittled down 67 candidates considered for appointment, recommended by a panel comprising Chief Federal Magistrate John Pascoe, former Family Court judge Susan Morgan, and a senior official of the Attorney-General’s Department.
