@strangerous10@LouPollard Surely a reasonable excuse can influence a judge’s sentencing of a crime. Mitigating circumstances?

Can anyone explain why this was not a trial by jury?
@strangerous10 For decades, probably centuries, the church has been getting away with child sexual abuse, still happens to this day….
Still blaming the victim….
@strangerous10 I understood that if you were aware of a crime that would have imprisonment of >6/12 months in NSW, there was an obligation to report it. At least that was the legal advice one org I was on the board received. We had people who didn't want to report it, but we did.
@AmyRemeikis On the other hand, might have been interesting to hear how Sofronoff considered a journalist with a clear personal agenda against Brittany Higgins, and lack of any empathy for Ms Higgins' welfare, was an appropriate person to be trusted with an advance copy of his inquiry report.
ATTENTION!!! Why has 4 Corners pulled its piece on how consultancies are running our governments. Is this just plain censorship or have the consultancies used the law against the Australian people? This is totally outrageous, we need answers now. RDM
@DarylTractor He worked at 11 different centres over that time period. My guess is as soon as there was any suspicion or questions asked, he left. Lots of questions to be answered on how to improve Queensland's Blue Card system after this
Wow, Commission found Kathryn Campbell deliberately instructed her own legal team to discontinue a request for legal advice on Robodebt from the Aus Govt Solicitor because she was worried about being found out.
Clear evidence Morrison govt policies actively *worsened* housing availability and affordability *and* made life more difficult for builders - but got a clean bill of health from PwC.

@Mon4Kooyong Dr Ryan I personally know of a developer of townhouses who increased the sale price by $25k the day after the program was announced.
It just inflated the prices of a development already under construction

Deborah O’Neill roasts ASIC who after yrs of stalling on #PwC are yet to make a decision
“I mean, you don’t get that long to pay a parking fine, right?!”

A exceptional article. It is rare to read something in a paper that is your area of expertise and find it has nailed it.

"For too long PwC has been having these private meetings with government taking hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars in contract after contract and no one's any the wiser. Well, we're finally getting the truth." canberratimes.com.au/story/8243584/…
@gothewelsh not blaming landlord. The agents put the pressure on. It's government policy allowing generous tax regime in respect of a foreign multinational
And in case you missed it, multinational corporations warn the Albanese govt not to introduce new laws forcing them to publicly release how much tax they pay because it will
