Paris riots
There are calls for a state of emergency and the army to be deployed in France after landmarks were attacked during intense riots.
French President Emmanuel Macron has asked for an evaluation of possible protest security measures, a day after a Paris protest against increased taxes and living costs devolved into France’s worst urban riot in a decade.

I gather sales of sharpening stones and large wicker baskets have spiked all over France.The riots might just be in Paris, but the protests all over France though.
Beggaring the plebs might not work out too well. You'd think the French should know that better than most.

Orwell was surely a prophet, abeit politically misguided himself.
And the head in the sand, fingers in the ears, " La, La La" denialists just swallow another Trump tweet and ignore a world that is cooking in front of their (closed) eyes.The climate change catastrophist claims have risen to near hysteria.

..She became famous for showing a sixty second video of Jordan Peterson to a university class, for which she was almost sacked and would have been except she had taped the inquisition with the three-person tribunal who had tried to do her over. She has learned a very great deal since that time.

1 Feb 2019 - Cindy Prior declared bankrupt years after telling QUT students to leave computer lab. Six years after an admin worker accused a group of students of racial discrimination, she’s admitted the legal bill has become too much.

Gillian Triggs will go down as a failure in her role. Continual poor judgement.Hard to feel much sympathy for Ms Prior, who lost and had costs awarded against her. Or Ms Triggs.

Realistically, the legit jornos should know better. In saying that I wouldn’t sentence them.There could be ..
Couple of significant differences
1) "Tommy Robinson" had already talked about people being tried before the end of a case,been found guilty of contempt and warned very specifically that you can't do that.
2) He then did it again in violation of the law and after his first warning. I suggest that is why they threw the book at him
The suppression order on the outcome of the first Cardinal Pell trial was made to ensure that, as far as possible, Pell received a fair trial for another sex abuse case. This case wassupposed to be begin in February this year and the judge wanted to keep the guilty outcome of the December case quiet to not taint a new witness pool.
That principle is well understood and essential for fair treatment of the accused. Local media that attempted to expose Cardinal Pell were indeed in contempt of court. The will need to explain why they tried to expose Cardinal Pell's conviction when he was due to face another trial.
The reason why the suppression order was lifted was because the second trial won't go ahead. The judge has ruled particular evidence by the prosecution inadmissible. The prosecution has decided that without this evidence they can't mount a convincing case. End of story.
