The final submissions were only put in 6 weeks ago. Martin Bennett anticipated after trial that no judgment would be delivered before Xmas, it seems that he had spent the last 10 months attacking Higgins credit on the papers & perhaps exhausted Higgins funds on legal costs.
Yes this is correct you just can’t mention that she said this in the senate, because that is defamation, I wonder if hansard knows. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/edit...
If Justice Kaye didn’t defame Reynolds how can Higgins have done by saying the same thing? The legal result was Reynolds conduct was questionable but she had acceptable answers to the questions.
Luckily, it was accepted that she didn’t know she wasn’t allowed transcript of other witnesses evid but did know she shouldn’t talk to her partner who was in ct listening to. The Kaye jdgmt found the x examination of her about it to be reasonable, ∴ therefore the conduct was questionable.☟
Even if it is now acceptable for a politician to say something untruthful in parliament, how is it defamatory for someone to refer to something in Hansard? 2nd Reynolds complained that day about not being funded at the Soffranoff enquiry about being questioned about her conduct at the crim trial☟
I don’t get why nobody is pointing out the huge logical flaws in Tottle’s judgment. 1st, the idea that Higgins 2023 tweet imputes Reynolds mishandling the rape claim. Reynolds called Higgins a lying cow on 15Feb ‘21, but the next day, 16 Feb apologised in parlt for how she had handled her claim.☟
Bennett spent all the months after trial before Xmas (when Tottle could have written his jdgmt) producing anything that Higgins had said anywhere that might not have been 100% accurate as attacks on her credit when she didn’t give evidence. Really? He wants indemnity costs for that hit job?
Where is the imputation of ”cover up” in this post? On 15 Feb ‘21 Reynolds called Higgins a “lying cow”,the very next day in parlt she said this VOLUNTARILY x.com/livcaisley/s... “However, istering to Brictany … it is very, very clear to me that more could and should have been done to support her”
It seems that Reynolds left Court and issued a statement misrepresenting that Higgins and not her were claiming the conspiracy that was found not to exist. She also seemed to admit the action was about retribution and punishing Higgins, not money.
Can’t see it, usually costs follow the event unless Higgins had offered to pay more than the award before trial, which is doubtful, or the costs are divided according to the issues she was successful on.
The Australian has already announced that it is “massive“ damages. The Courts do not usually reward plaintiffs who proceed with cases “on a matter of principle” where the costs far outweigh the damages they could obtain.
For analysis only and without repeating any imputations, it is hard to see how the imputations were made out from the central instagram post complained of.
You have to wait for the costs, it depends on who was unreasonable in mediation.
Now that was a surprise, especially the breach of the non disparagement clause. It looks like Higgins and Sharaz should have cross claimed. Now the crucial question is costs and whether Calderbank offers were put during the mediation. Doubtful that Higgins would have offered $315K.
Time to review her valedictory speech on 30 March, before the NACC threw out her tax payer funded complaint concerning Higgins compo. Will she be bitterly dissapointed again? www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf4r...
It’s extraordinary that she could introduce the concept of “soft rape” as a reason why allowing it to be described more violently is defamatory , when since Lee’s decision the world has had the Pelicot case.
You have to suspect she started the action believing that the LNP would win the election & now doesn’t know what to do.
that the govt & solctrs owe her a duty in a 3rd pty compo claim to make sure that the confidential settlmt amt doesn’t impute that she was remiss if SHE chooses to break that confidence to the media! ☟
It may seem like it is never ending but the knot is gradually being pulled a little tighter, & it is not just the courts granting the indulgence. Remember in this case she is suing an established firm of solicitors making up a novel cause of action —☟
Yes, there is Reynolds (& Albrechtsen) have wrongly tried to piggy back on Lee J’s findings about public interest but she wasn’t a party. The result is just that Ch 10 can’t say the political importance of the story justified them defaming Lehrmann, not that Lee J found Reynolds acted correctly
The former, if you have a good case you don’t need extensions/delays. They are being given enough rope.
They’re probably going to ask him about his hat…and he just doesn’t get it.
The one he should regret is the one where he said he had “nothing to lose“. He is being shown.
This article could have been the real sanction against the lawyer, but it did not name them. The LPB does nothing.
Why does nobody draw him as the fat old man that we can all see he really is?
A percentage that is not a proportion of 100 is just a number you have never had the foresight to dream of before :)
She has sued HWLEbsworth as well. It takes a certain amount of courage or stupidity to sue a substantial firm of solicitors on a novel cause of action. Maybe she was expecting the LNP to win the election and then settle her claim.
The doctor giving interviews about when he knew she was evil is not the best either
youtu.be/nx5N-4JvVyk?...
Time for the “DIs” award, to be given to former ministers and judges entitled to be called “the Honourable” for life when they clearly are not.
And Ita Buttrose came dressed in a wheelchair…only then to realise that meant she was then below the observers and the cameras.
So the ABC should be trying to agree that amount with her now?
2 countries? Israel is 77 years old, created after he was born. Organised government in Iran began 3200 years before Jesus was born. His history is off.
It’s not much compensation, what is the costs order?
① unlike the US illegally obtained evid isn’t fatal to a case; ② it wasn’t illegal to record the conversation in Qld,where the recording was done; ③ if BL’s lawyers said something to the police that BL didn’t want recorded that would seem to be the lawyer’s negligence not the police’s fault
㏊ʱᵃ㏊
We’re still waiting to find out the context of those actions. A day ago he was raving about not getting the Nobel peace prize. Looks like because nobody responded by giving him one, he just decided to bomb Iran instead.
At least with WMD they told their allies beforehand. Or did they tell us?
Remember, it could very nearly have been Linda Reynolds
Now he’s posted, it’s too late for him to say he just thought he was pressing the “Diet Coke” button on his desk — it’s all Joe Biden’s fault for changing what the button ordered.
What makes a blood type?
Maybe “retruths” on his site should be renamed “alternate truths”.
You mean “precedented” isn’t always preceded by “un”?
Yes nothing could be more persuasive to a fundamentalist muslim ayatollah than this, in English, on Trump’s social media platform.
Ironically, actual taxpayers money. This is from March 2022. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
They weren’t originally the headline and the article quotes Dreyfus, the MP affected by the allegation, to a different effect to the Guardian
I was just thinking, what if the America First review concludes that Australia has to have more disadvantageous terms of the AUKUS deal? Will he be on Australia’s side who he negotiated for or America’s side, the nationality of his new bosses?
It would have been better if it had also looked at possible wrong doing by the dissemination of the details of Higgins claim, both while the LNP were still in govt, before Lehrmann’s criminal trial and to Albrechtsen after they had lost the election and the trial was aborted
Did it consider if there was anything untoward in how the details of an employees private claim were disseminated and used by Lehrmann’s defence, Reynolds lawyers and Albrechtsen
Reynolds continues to cry that she has never had the opportunity to tell her side of the story while continually revising her version in numerous public forums since the Project interview aired & she apologised to Higgins on the Senate floor. Time to add up the Senator’s waste of taxpayers money
And our newly canonised former PM congratulates the US Secretary of State for condemning our government, implying (of course never saying expressly) between selfies of Sharks games and curry recipes, that he is one of many in Australia standing with Israel.
Maybe that can be called a tumble turn.
Why? It seems to have lost it’s partner
We have a pretty good idea that what the cop saw going on behind Lauren was Jimmy the camerman filming her and lining the cop up as she turned around.
Is “cookie” English or American?
Weren’t there some ASIC charges against him from the Cape Preston port management ?
Just as he shoots From the timing it looks like his thoughts were — nice ass, can’t shoot there. He was wearing a mask
Maybe Kate Winslet was the Dressmaker for her.
Copping the Chinese vindictive tariffs on barley and wine for needling them about covid as a favour to…Trump! WA wasn’t too keen on him supporting Clive Palmer’s High Court challenge to the covid border.
Responsible journalism on the part of Krishani Dhanji, contributing to a real assessment of Scott Morrison’s achievements. During Covid he was motivated only by populism.
Is the present GG able to read the sealed section of the Robodebt report? It was handed to the former GG.
Anybody who has been a minister has the right to be called “the honourable”. Sam Mostyn as GG should develop a protocol for removing that privilege from those who have shown themselves not to be.
Well it was a Ripper story anyway, (forgive the pun). Keep em coming.
I was expecting lots of Dr Strangelove Precious Bodily Fluids references. So much of this administration reminds me of that movie.
I doubt she will be wrongly convicted.
a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon
He probably also no longer thinks that Musk being unable to sell Starlink in South Africa is anti white racism
But that “slander” has been republished in a post online. A reason for differentiating between the 2 in earlier days, was because the harm from slander was less widespread, received only by those within earshot. If you repeat a defamation you are publishing it.
Wasn’t that more Malcolm Turnbull?
Where did the June 1 Spider Web drones get their wifi support from?
Wasn’t he a defender of Hayden? Hayden’s speciality is contract isn’t it, maybe he and Porter will discuss the rule of law.
It wasn’t glamorous work, it would have been a legal aid brief, his client was found guilty. Awful case, I don’t think anybody was rehabilitated by that.
Richard Court wasn’t even a lawyer, he was a boat salesman before he became premier. His most notable legal achievement was charging Carmen Lawrence for perjury when she hadn’t been found to lie to the commission.
The SGS might be closely connected to maintaining the constitution without change, a constitutional monarchy. This year is 50 years since this photo of the former chairman, Sir David Smith was taken☟ The online program doesn’t say who is giving his memorial oration in Perth, is it Porter ?
Porter is back in the legal profession, working as a barrister in Perth. He recently defended one of the accused murderers of Cassius Turvey.
What is the date of this article? It’s extraordinary that this type of intelligence was the subject of English language news reports
Sussan Ley blames it on not following the numerology portents— “if only she had changed her name to Gisssele”
Does that make Kapterian the first person to hold (and lose) a shadow ministry appointment without becoming a MP?
There wasn’t anything much in that to start with, an inquiry found nothing & the allegation hasn’t affected his relationship (he was newly married at the time he was alleged to be seen leaving the prayer room). Persisting with the allegation can come across as homophobia.
Didn’t talk about the methodology of the win either. When he won preselection some pointed to his role controlling party membership. Goldstein had an Inc % postal vote from 2022 (covid) and although Daniel won the other 83% of vote types, Wilson’s % of the postals was so high he just won the seat
Yes, but the thing to do is point out that he has put on dirty clothes, not throw more mud.
No that’s not correct. The external “whistleblower” said he was told about particular sex workers and MPs & said he had seen an MP in a position he inferred was compromising. Other than some solo photos of the staffer & the “whistleblowers” own admission it was all unsubstantiated “suggestion”
Yes but he does like to set up his opposition for doing the wrong thing and could point to “Daniel’s followers’, Labor’s, the Left’s” hypocrisy in homobhobicly accusing him of scandalous behaviour in APH merely because he is gay.
The “whistleblower” was not a staffer
I don’t know anything about his husband’s views, he is a teacher apparently. I think anybody gay with Tim’s views and personality is very lucky to have found someone to love and support him.
Being unkind is at best adolescent and not grown up.
Look I don’t think any of it is relevant but the informant was not an employee, he only went to APH once or twice and exchanged dirty photos with a staffer. My understanding was the informant made allegations about Pyne and Wilson with male sex workers. www.smh.com.au/national/lib...
I’m a “poor new troll”, because I’m a refugee of the amplified hate/horror porn of X. Don’t bring it here. You are only giving Wilson and the divisive Right the high moral ground. There is plenty of ammunition to criticise Wilson that is factual.
The allegation was made by a non employee of APH who had had a brief casual relationship with someone who was. That report didn’t find that the allegations against Wilson had a base. I understood the other man was alleged to be a “rent boy” & not Wilson’s new husband.
Wilson is very lucky to have had an acknowledged, long term, tall, handsome, partner. I’d be very careful about your reasons for thinking he would cheat on his husband if I was you.
Confine your criticism to what he does and does not do, there is no need to descend into baseless homophobia.
Why wasn’t this picked up at the preference allocation stage or did it occur then? Do these type of errors occur often, there has been nothing like this in Bradfield.
The electorate was in no doubt about who he was.
How often does this happen? Why is only Wilson talking about it?
It won’t be a decisive victory for either of them. They started counting the postal votes today & before the AEC stopped refreshing @ 2.00pm Wilson had dropped 30 votes behind. This is a list of the people who can postal vote & turned the tide for Wilson. Will this be the only time they concern him?
That would be a very stupid easily detected thing to do. No need to inflame the process by making or repeating unsupported allegations. Daniel will just be blamed if you do.
