I dont know whether it would be about the voice, the inflation, the dumping of Lowe, the housing, the immigration, or just getting nervous. Lol
It's the final straw, you only have to look at the outrage on y-tube and fakebook.
I'm not on either.
Wow ! Hot stuff.Just when the Higgins saga looks like it has run out of legs, up pops another sequel, the incident that just never stops giving.
The footage shown in the linked article, definitely doesn't show an inebriated lady, who can hardly stand up, couldn't put her shoes on and can't remember what happened, to my untrained eye.
The plot thickens.
From the article:
Crucial CCTV depicting Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins at Parliament House on the night of her alleged rape has been handed over to a court after a lawyer in the defamation proceedings demanded to know why it wasn’t produced earlier.
Mr Lehrmann launched defamation action in March against Network 10 and journalist Lisa Wilkinson over the 2021 coverage of Ms Higgins’ allegations in 2021.
He later also launched proceedings against the ABC over the live broadcast of a National Press Club address by Ms Higgins.
The case has been travelling through the Federal Court since Justice Michael Lee granted an extension of time earlier this year.
Documents from numerous parties – including author Peter FitzSimons, publisher Penguin Random House and ABC journalist Laura Tingle – were subpoenaed and produced to the court on Monday.
On the last occasion, earlier this month, high-profile defamation silk Sue Chrysanthou SC demanded to know why Parliament House “did not have” some of the CCTV from the night of March 22, 2019, which captured the pair together in Canberra despite it already being broadcast in a Channel 7 Spotlight interview.
At a case management hearing on Monday, Justice Lee was told there no longer had to be evidence given as to why the footage could not be produced as it had been found and produced to the court.
The court was told there had been correspondence with representatives of the Department of Parliamentary Services and the footage was found after they “searched various servers”.
“The material that’s been produced today in response to the latest subpoena, I believe, is the material that would have would have been the material given to Channel 7,” the court was told.
Someone could be sitting in Jail saying, WTF happen to me and my life? A public prosecutor could be smiling with a sense of pride and the World would have moved on.Wow ! Hot stuff.
Well it didn't take long for the plot to get even thicker.
Why? I would have thought there must be just about enough evidence, for the Court to claim the case was an attempt to pervert the course of justice, it will be interesting to see how the Wilkinson case goes. Where they are going to prove that Lehrmann did rape her.
From memory the evidence was that she could hardly stand up, couldn't put her own shoes on and was almost comatosed and the footage was auto deleted.
Absolutely. Just saying he won't get a chance to prove it in court, hence the defamation case.Let's be honest,
And that is the point, a huge amount of taxpayers money has been and will be forked out, with no result because one decides it is too hard.
Well , as we saw in the Roberts-Smith defamation case, that turned out as a defacto criminal case, and the defendants proved their case as substantially true.And that is the point, a huge amount of taxpayers money has been and will be forked out, with no result because one decides it is too hard.
I'm not sure that is how the law works in Australia, in the U.S the victim can withdraw the charges or seek compensation etc.
In our system from memory a criminal case once accepted, becomes a case of the accused against the State, it then becomes basically out of the accusers hands.
Then the accuser can't just say, I don't want to do this anymore, it is in the hands of the public prosecuter who represents the State.
Therefore again only my assumption, if information comes forward that proves an accuser gave false or misleading information, a charge of misconduct is laid. This stops people using the court system for personal gain, or as a tool for a personal vendetta etc.
Let's be honest, if you could just accuse someone and then walk away, there is a chance that someone could rot in jail.
If you thought you had a good chance of getting them done, then when it looks like it is going to backfire, you say balise I want out, the courts would be full of cases.
So I will be surprised if this is the end of it, only my understanding of it, I'm sure there will be someone who can set me straight if I'm wrong. But I can't see it ending here, Drumgold would be back at work, if it was that easy.
I don't know if he was guilty or not, but it is in the public interest to actually follow through if more evidence is forthcoming, that's why we have cold cases.
On his record is an open case of him being a rapist, he wouldn't want to get caught in a traffic accident in the U.S, that's if he could get an entrance visa in the first place?
Yes, civil and criminal are different from memory, criminal is a crime against the state, civil is a crime against the person.
Bad times ahead for Conservatives ?
'Caution' urged over new inter-generational report
An expert is urging caution over analysis arguing future voters will be less conservative than previous ones.thenewdaily.com.au
Well that was June 30, it hasn't taken long for the premonition to come to fruition, so to speak.I would take that with a pinch of salt, the younger generation haven't had much exposure to Labor, so wait till after a couple of terms before making any assumptions IMO.
After John Howard and a dose of Kev 'I'm here to help', it soon went pear shaped for Labor and the current Native Title, Voice, Inflation, Immigration, Housing, Electricity, whirlpool isn't settling people.
A lot will depend on how many of these issues can get bedded down, ATM there are a lot of balls up in the air and not many look like getting landed well.
If they all turn to manure, all of a sudden the dull boring Coalition, look a lot more attractive. Living on the edge with Labor isn't for the faint hearted and there are plenty of young faint hearted families living on the edge, being asked to worry about a referendum.
I'm not sure that is the most pressing thing on their minds ATM.
It is for the rich elites in their McMansions overlooking the Sydney Harbour bridge, I'm not so sure it is for those in struggle street trying to pay the electricity bill, mortgage and or rent that has ramped under Albo's watch, time will tell.
The lady in the article nails it:
She said the future-oriented analysis fails to take into account changes in the political parties, the policies they offer and the lived experience of the individual.
“As a demographer, it’s becoming ever more apparent that comparing generations and pigeonholing generations using arbitrary dates that fit nicely into Gen X, Gen Y or the millennials, it’s not helpful,” she said.
“This analysis is essentially a series of hypotheticals based on previous generations’ behaviours, and it is applying those assumptions of those observed hypotheticals from previous generations to future generations.”
Dutton is as appealing as Shorten was, so using him as a metric isn't great IMO.If Labor is going as badly as some say, Dutton should have had a massive swing in Fadden, whereas the swing was only about average for a by election. So far I reckon the majority still blame 9 years of inaction for our problems with our economy being better than most in the civilised world.
As we have been saying though, we do have big problems, with housing, cost of living and energy infrastructure , and it's about time they were taken seriously rather than promoting distractions like you know what.
