I did not say the guardian slipped up. The original reply was to your ABC article. They are separate entities.
I did not say the guardian slipped up. The original reply was to your ABC article. They are separate entities.So where did the Guardian slip up ?
What sins of commission or omission did they make ?
Their story seemed fairly factual to me. They did not express an opinion of guilt or innocence, they reported what happened.
That's their job surely ?
You criticised a poster for quoting Guardian articles, that seemed to be a criticism of that publication.I did not say the guardian slipped up. The original reply was to your ABC article. They are separate entities.

The ABC article you rubbished consisted mainly of direct quotes from the judge, Brittany Higgins and Lehrmann's lawyer, and statements of fact regarding trial dates etc. I can't really see anything there that equates to bad reporting.
Anyway , as you say, who cares ?
Unless we happen to find ourselves in similar situations, including being on a jury.
Isnt that what is happening in Australia? Tax cuts for the rich and out of control gas and electricity prices.How anyone could cut taxes for the rich while people's gas prices were going through the roof and expect to remain as leader is beyond me, what a ghastly mistake, so out of touch.
Yeah but the tax cuts here were agreed before the UkraIne war when the economy y looked a lot better.Isnt that what is happening in Australia? Tax cuts for the rich and out of control gas and electricity prices.
Hopefully they defer them again IMO.Yeah but the tax cuts here were agreed before the UkraIne war when the economy y looked a lot better.
The wife did jury duty once, said it was really difficult to keep people on track, personal biases etc cause them to drift into emotional judgement, rather than just sticking to the facts as presented.You criticised a poster for quoting Guardian articles, that seemed to be a criticism of that publication.

There are questions about how appropriate juries are in 2022. There are other ways for judicial systems to work when attempting to uncover the truth. Thought provoking article and history lesson.The wife did jury duty once, said it was really difficult to keep people on track, personal biases etc cause them to drift into emotional judgement, rather than just sticking to the facts as presented.
"While citizens are susceptible to prejudice, judges are immune and, apparently, are perfectly capable to sitting alone and determining a sound verdict against a backdrop that would be regarded as injurious for the ordinary soft-minded citizen."There are questions about how appropriate juries are in 2022.

Not so fast bazz.Nancy Pelosi's husband suffers fractured skull during home invasion by hammer-wielding man

There could be more to this.
Others performing the sniff test (satirically):Voting records show he is a member of The Green Party. Has a Pride flag outside house.
MAGA?
I hope nobody with 2 hammers with a manifesto wearing only underwear gets past my fenced in property, sneaks by my 6 alert dogs, breaks my window, hands me a hammer and we get into a hammer fight, tonight.
You can pick out what you will from this current background check on the guy who was trying to kill Nancy Pelosi.Voting records show he is a member of The Green Party. Has a Pride flag outside house.
MAGA?
Certainly a mixed bagYou can pick out what you will from this current background check on the guy who was trying to kill Nancy Pelosi.
It does note his membership of the The Green Party so I suppose it must be thorough.
The rest of his history is eclectic. The recent activities are what brought him to where he is now.
What we know so far about the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband
David DePape, 42, was a hemp jewellery maker who posted conspiracy theories on Facebookwww.theguardian.com
Yes, a conspiracy nut.Certainly a mixed bag
But just wanted to call out the whole "MAGA QANON" trope.
Or have we forgotten about the GOP softball game getting shot up, Rand Paul losing half a lung, all the Antifa violence and.....
....the whole of freakin' 2021.
There are nutters everywhere, of all colours.
