Good to hear of judges doing their job correctly and not following the whines of parliament. Judges make the laws with understanding of our rights and the laws given to us by the constitution. Politicians make legislation as a means to influence the public to get votes, constitutional or not.

Judges do not make laws; they are made by Parliament and drafted by State Solicitor under instruction from the relevant Department and Ministers. Judges impose sentences in accordance with legislation and any discretion that the legislation may allow them. Some interpretations of the law in the higher courts by judges may create legal precedence but they don't make laws as such.
Do you mean "infringe on our rights"? Impeach on our rights makes no sense. Can you explain what you mean please? At the end of the day impounding or selling cars is just and extension of existing police powers to issue infringements that result in demerit points, fines or loss of licence and if you think you are innocent you still have access to the court system.
