Rubbish ole Pal, there was no evidence to support the charge, so fall on your sword.

And I do not believe there are too many ALP supporters here but many who can see the situation at law.

There is however little doubt that the action was a poorly judged attempt to unseat Gillard and co. And interestingly enough it could be the last straw for Abbot and co, in the eyes of the electorate so that Gillard may just scrape home again next year.

Rubbish ole Plod. I will add you to the list of Slipper supporters along with Christine Milne..:D

It's the judges finding.

In his stunning judgment, Rares found Brough was a participant in a plot against Slipper; he has trashed Brough's earlier public account. He concluded: ''Mr Ashby acted in combination with Ms Doane [another Slipper staffer] and Mr Brough when commencing the proceedings in order to advance the interests of the LNP and Mr Brough.''

Are you waying that slipper's vile text messages were made up?

Those text messages are the obvious elephant in the room, imo.

And, does this mean that politicians can commit crimes and then have it thrown out of court because the person reporting such a crime is seen to be politically motivated?

Maybe we should do a national enquiry on everyone's phones whilst we are at it.

Jesus christ, they were tame compared to some of the stuff I have seen - and yes both males and females were involved.

What a ****ing beat up this whole affair is - and proof that our politicians don't do what they are supposed to be doing - making policies for our future interests (rather than squabbling like class room lawyers).

I will agree that since Julia and Abbott entered the fray it has become a joke. I am under no illusion that these two will do whatever it takes to stay in the top spot.

Has nothing to do with the personalities, in fact slipper is a d.ck head in my humble view.

The umpire has blown the whistle in the legal sense, so get over it.

And wouldn't you.

The whole charade is so unimportant as far as running the country is concerned, the whole thing is now a farce.

Good post, sorry I did not read it before posting up the last.

Of couse they were there. he will never be Speaker again.
But that wasn't what the court case was about, was it ????? I think you are looking in the wrong room.

lol - I thought the text messages were part of the sexual abuse allegations. I thought they were the evidence.

Was this court case then no more than a political event?

Did the text messages have nothing to do with it? If so, how come Slipper is cleared if the actual allegations if the evidence was not judged?

Maybe I'm on the wrong planet...lol

No doubt Slipper will be reinstated as Speaker.

So what? The liberals really have to come to grips with the fact that they are in opposition not government. Not long to go now and then we will have another muck slinging campaign and this time the liberals should be able to get enough votes to govern, with the assistance of the nationals, in their own right.
 
I am disappointed that the rusted on Labor supporters have not commented on the links I gave regarding the character and credentials of Judge Rares and the close association this fraud has with Nicola Roxon

Um, don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. The whole matter has already been dropped from the news, even on the biased ABC. My guess is that the electorate is much more concerned about the rabid corruption within the AWU, and the Prime Minister's questionable role in this.

(That comment referred to the statement that both Gillard and Abbott will do anything to stay in power)
My response is 'no.' If our politicians had any integrity they would draw boundaries around acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, as would most Australians. But they do not and should hang their heads in collective shame.

The whole charade is so unimportant as far as running the country is concerned, the whole thing is now a farce.

Agree. But here you have much of the reason for the anger in the electorate. We are all utterly sick of these vicious, artificial power struggles.
 
This is an interesting point. Rares has opened up a can of worms.

According to the judge's "firm conclusion", Ashby's predominant purpose for bringing the proceedings was to pursue a political attack against Slipper and not to vindicate any legal claim he may have for which the right to bring proceedings exists.

As this case stands - Ashby has indicated he intends to appeal - then judges will have to carefully examine motive in other cases and certainly when sexual harassment is alleged. Which makes one wonder how the federal government stands with its promised commission into institutional sexual abuse. It appears patently obvious that a significant number of the claims made against the Catholic Church have been made by people whose primary aim is to raise "scandalous and damaging allegations, knowing that they would receive very significant media coverage"
