Premier Campbell Newman has hit out at media hypocrisy, saying his government will not stop appealing judiciary decisions it considers "inappropriate" and out of step with community expectations.

Supreme Court Justice Philip McMurdo told a supreme and federal courts judges conference that there had been an "increasing trend" of governments "disparaging" the courts.

He made mention on the number of appeals attorneys-general had lodged, saying the "demands" for heavier sentences, ongoing detention and refusing bail were "not based on evidence".

Justice McMurdo, who also suggested a new selection process should be established for the Chief Justice position, was the latest member of the Queensland judiciary to make comment against government practices.
