It is difficult for a defendant to have their conviction overturned on the ground of inadequate counsel because they must demonstrate that the attorney's performance was not only deficient but also that this deficiency directly resulted in a miscarriage of justice. Courts typically afford a high degree of deference to counsel's strategic decisions, making it challenging to prove that the attorney's actions fell below the standard of reasonable professional assistance. Additionally, the defendant must show that there is a reasonable probability that the outcome of the trial would have been different with effective representation. This high burden of proof often makes successful appeals on these grounds rare.

Travel abroad from Australia with drug conviction?

You would need to apply for a visa. Generally, a drug conviction will make entry to another country difficult because it warrants extra scrutiny. It is possible some countries are more liberal than others. However, do not conceal a conviction in a visa application. Most countries can check and if found out your passport will be stamped 'visa refused'. This will then add to any problems.

No- it is impossible to enter the legal profession if you have any criminal record at all in the UK, even if the conviction is spent. It is also very difficult to enter medicine if you have a criminal conviction, though in the latter case it is not impossible if there were mitigating circumstances at the time the offence took place.
