Did this come out before or after Higgins?I couldn't find a thread for this on-going debacle, so this is here.
I was leaning towards innocent against Higgins for a long time, but this makes it even more complicated. Bloody hell, what a nightmare.

Prosecutors in the ACT last year dropped charges against Mr Lehrmann for the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins, saying a retrial of the case would pose an unacceptable risk to her health. The trial had earlier been aborted after a juror was found to have brought outside material into the jury room.
Mr Lehrmann was charged in January with two counts of rape by detectives from the Criminal Investigations Branch over the alleged offence in Toowoomba in 2021, but he has not yet been committed for trial.
On Thursday, Justice Peter Applegarth lifted an interim suppression order on Mr Lehrmann’s identity.
Earlier this month, Toowoomba magistrate Clare Kelly lifted a suppression order but delayed her decision to allow Mr Lehrmann’s lawyers to apply to the Supreme Court to keep it in place.
The media has been barred from naming Mr Lehrmann during a number of court appearances this year, because previous laws protected the identity of people charged with serious sexual offences until they were committed to trial.
At the hearing on Thursday, Mr Lehrmann’s barrister, Andrew Hoare, argued that his client had experienced suicidal ideation during the past two years and was at risk of “catastrophic” self-harm, including suicide, if the non-publication order was lifted.
Did this come out before or after Higgins?
After would be suspicious.
Yes there are a lot of defamation cases pending, over the issue.Did this come out before or after Higgins?

WHAT the rest of my post will have me banned something far worse that the Good Cap't could deliver.How dumb are we?
This was one of the reasons why The Voice failed. We did not trust the activist High Court.

Maybe we can get something even simpler?? How about the government stops paying the big 4 billions $$$ for 'advice' and instead listens to the +16 million voters? Would that work?This is a good start, now all we need is it to cover politicians as well.
"Dodgy deals, done dirt cheap", sounds like it should start from the top down.
Australia, roll up, roll up, the less you do the more you get, maybe there is a new national anthem in there somewhere.
Dob in a dodgy tax adviser or face jail: New laws to stop another PwC scandal
The Greens have also secured an amendment for “kicking the foxes out of the hen house” for transparency at the Tax Practitioner Board.www.smh.com.au
Tax advisers will have to dob in their colleagues’ wrongdoing or potentially face jail time, while big-four executives will be banned from membership of the regulating Tax Practitioner Board in a major overhaul of the system that enabled the PwC tax leak scandal.
The Greens have secured a bundle of amendments to treasury laws to go before the Senate on Wednesday to cast greater transparency over the dealings of major accounting firms following the misuse of confidential government information to help clients avoid paying taxes.
No now we are inclusive, they aren't criminals they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the only reason they are criminals is someone saw them there, so basically they are a victim of circumstances.We have deported a lot of crims that have completed their sentences (ask the Kiwis).
I don't see what the difference is here.
The govt should have the option of rescinding citizenships in cases of criminal behaviour and throwing people out of the country.
We don't need people like him here.
The Voice showed how far removed the Lefty elites are away from the battlers who decided that whinging about dispossession doesn't cu t it if you can't afford to pay the rent .No now we are inclusive, they aren't criminals they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the only reason they are criminals is someone saw them there, so basically they are a victim of circumstances.
The same as our unemployed shouldn't have to go and pick fruit, because it is hard work and doesn't pay much and also they don't want to go bush so why should they.
But it is o.k to import South Sea Islanders to do it because they aren't like us and it isn't like Nike or something, where they use slave labour.
We are a strange country, full of strange rich people, trying to make themselves out to be caring. The voice is a great example IMO.
Way too many people sitting on their balconies, overlooking Sydney harbour, the Yarra, or the ocean, with way too much say and no actual skin in the game.The Voice showed how far removed the Lefty elites are away from the battlers who decided that whinging about dispossession doesn't cu t it if you can't afford to pay the rent .

Absolutely and they are black and white.Nah the Voice showed how much Australians don't like Aboriginals and refuse to deal with the issues rather winge about how much money is paid rather than who, why and how.
Meanwhile we have a 3rd world population living right here in Australia.
Yes how many African, Iranian, or any refugees do China or Japan take, I guess that is one of those questions that is out of bounds.The globalist liberal agenda has been getting crazy lately. No middle-class/working-class Australians want the levels of immigration we have been getting in the 21st century. We have foreign workers shoved in our throats to support the lifestyles of selfish and greedy upper class.
Everyone wants Australia and other developed nations to be more diverse. What about India? Can we please make India more diverse. They need to have at least 10% Africans and 10% Europeans.

My view it showed how much Australians have lost confidence in government and aren't going to give them additional powers over any matter.Nah the Voice showed how much Australians don't like Aboriginals
Politicians have an arrogance with our money and lack of accountability. How long till the public start holding them personally to account I wonder?My view it showed how much Australians have lost confidence in government and aren't going to give them additional powers over any matter.
Indeed I think at this point most would be thinking more that the federal government ought be severely reined in until such time as it can sort out the messes it's already made with everything from education to energy to housing.
Get the existing things sorted before taking on anything new.
