Evidence of bias by former Minister for Immigration

Here is the incendiary speech delivered by former Minister for Immigration, demonstrating a total disregard of the rule of law. Apart from the disgraceful attack on lawyers, note the proposition that he thinks that a less-than-100% success rate by him in litigation somehow indicates courts were upholding unmeritorious judicial review cases.

Noting the double-might nature of the test for apprehension of bias, how could this speech not possibly demonstrate such an apprehension?

The speech was electively leaked to the Daily Telegraph after it was delivered. A full copy was only made accessible to the public after an FOI request.
