Very fair points. It is also a hedge if Australia lose. Some cash should dull the pain.

It is a hard one. Aus obviously have the advantage of holding the Ashes; the first win is worth 2 for Australia. We saw that in 2019, when Aus rode on the back of Steve Smith. As a team, we had a lot of passengers, but we still walked away with the urn, relatively comfortably it must be said...

England at $5.00 to regain the Ashes has to be value surely? If Smith has a bad series then we are toast. In fact, have loaded into it with $400.

Point stands, if big corporations can convince the idiot pleb out there, that they are woke and they care about feelings over facts and other buzz speak cliches, then the said idiot plebs are distracted from issues that actually impact then, such as, expensive hosing.

Bringinshaw principle.

I don't disagree re robodebt...it is still irrelevant to what we are discussing. Google the Bringinshaw Principle and educate yourself. This may not be a criminal setting, but the consequences of these allegations is that Porter has lost his career. The evidence from where I stand is...

Ah yes. What a simple minded person you are.

Makes no sense. The allegations against Porter have destroyed his career. They can never be proven or refuted. That has been admitted by the people who released the dossier. To me, it is a shocking state of affairs. If an enquiry were to be held, then surely the women's state of mind and...

No. Because it would be hearsay. Next question.

Didn't she lose contact with the alleged victim for nearly 30 years?

I disagree. Any reasonable person reading the allegations against Porter, in conjunction with all of the material, could only conclude that the alleged victim was not a credible witness. The left leaning media outlets cherry picked portions that suited the narrative they were looking to put...

The LNP and ALP are both inept. Shockingly so. For many years, I have genuinely wanted a reason to vote for the ALP, as have many people. The ALP have won 1 election outright in the last 30 years. Yet, they continue to blame external influences, like the Murdoch press, rather than reflecting on...

You still don't get it do you? There is no way he can clear himself because his accuser is unable to be cross examined. How can Porter ever clear himself?

Jo Dyer is/always has been an ALP cheer leader. Treats politics like supporting a football team.

Never understood the idea that heaps of Australians actually dislike the national cricket team. When we were losing continuously from 2009 to 2013 there was a hell of a lot of toys being thrown out of prams by the public, many of whom couldn't handle losing.

He had to stand down from his job and his career is in ruins based on an allegation. Do you think that is appropriate?

Being charged is irrelevant. Even in non criminal settings, such as employment tribuinals, cross examination is viewed by Western courts as an integral process to ensure a fair hearing. Under some circumstances, cross examination can be limited, but never denied. Cross examination is not...

Most defamation trials never get to court for various reasons, one being that the court expects mediation to take place before time and resources are wasted. The decision not to pursue the ABC further should not be read into.

Once again, irrelevant. The main point is that CP is unable to cross examine his accuser. As such, there is no enquiry that would fulfull any threshold of fairness that western democracy would find acceptable.

Fact remains, the original allegation against Porter was made knowing full well that it would destroy his career. It was made knowing that it was impossible for the allegation to ever be proven on the basis on probabilities. It was made knowing full well that their was no avenue that Porter...

Woke. All the big companies are into woke these days. That in itself should be a red flag to the woke movement. From the elites point of view, if you get the plebs arguing over which toilet to use, or critical race theory, then the said plebs aren't arguing over more important things, such...

How the government handled it, or the political side of things is irrelevant to what I'm talking about. Who was paying his lawyers? Irrelevant once again to the principle that is at play here. I'm not a LNP voter. I'm sick and tired of seeing fair process and due process trampled on by...

Semantics. Soft lad.

Another one I see.

What a disgusting post. Sailing mighty close to the line there skip....let me make that clear right off the bat. People like you have no idea what you are talking about. You let your biases and prejudices cloud your judgement. You have no idea about the legal system. The origins of the...

Not at all. Many expert witnesses, such as forensic scientists, can be called for the prosecution. These witnesses can therefore be cross examined. Children and people with other disabilities can give evidence in a closed court, or their evidence can be pre-recorded. Cross examination can be...

Anyone used the bookie Best Bookies?

I'm not a CP fan or an LNP voter. The CP issue is a disgrace. Here is why. Majority of silent Australians value due process. CP has been accused of a historical alleged crime. The only defence available to someone under these circumstances is cross examination of an accuser and/or...

I think England to regain the Ashes at $5.00 is overs to be honest. Id have them closer to $2.90 or $3.00. I have backed them to win the Ashes at $5.00 with TAB...$400 on them....admittedly, that is more of a hedge to lessen the pain if England win, still, this series is not going to be easy...

I think Smith will be ringing most of the field changes and the bowling changes.
