Fraser Anning watch

[Forward Press]

If the police charged every teenager that egged somebody the courts would have a backlog stretching for decades.

In the end the best thing to do is to deny Anning oxygen (one thing ScoMo got right recently), but if not it seems like the police are doing the right thing by not laying charges unless a party requests it.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

both the kid and Anning should cope a whack

being a flog isnt an excuse to assault someone

The kid did good. I don't really blame Anning, although he's clearly emotional and soft.

The nazi dogs who had him in a headlock need to be dealt with.

 

[Maggie5]

Yep. I can walk up and throw a drink in your face and it's assault.

Actually I was joking imagining the assualt charge being read out in court.

Not sure about the drink though unless it was hot. Doesn't there need to be some fear or perceived injury involved?

Back when I was a boy terrorists used to get locked up without charge and water boarded.

Where was this?

I remember way back in the bad old days, before Parliament House went on a 6 month holiday for Christmas, that they raced through a vote on encryption laws, so they could give Mr Potato Head’s portfolio more powers to combat terrorism...

If little buckweed doesn't get charged, don't complain when a greens polly gets egged. I was fist pumping when the clown that attacked Abbott got jailed.

Where was this?

At Guantanamo Bay, apparently there are people still locked up without charge.

I'm just sorry they didn't take the punk outside and given him a decent work out.

 

[Maggie5]

Don't know whether the 'egg' incident constitutes assault.

WHAT ACTIONS MIGHT CONSTITUTE UNLAWFUL ASSAULT?

• Whilst the slightest touch might constitute Unlawful Assault, usually police would not charge a person with Unlawful Assault unless there is a significant degree of force applied or there is evidence that threats of violence have been made.
• Punching, hitting or kicking another person without causing bodily harm might well lead to a charge of Unlawful Assault.
• Spitting upon another person. Spitting is treated as a fairly serious form of the offence. Firstly it is seen as a heinous thing to do to another person, secondly there is the possibility of the transfer of some sort of infection.
• Threatening to hurt another person

But you're not a nazi though.

 

[Fat Yak]

But you're not a nazi though.

Everyone who doesn't agree with you is a nazi or some other label you want to give them in your feeble attempt to close down debate.

But you're not one though. That's what Im saying.

Don't know whether the 'egg' incident constitutes assault.

It's quite obvious actually...

 

[Maggie5]

Not necessarily in Victoria unless of course you can show differently.

It definitely constitutes assault, Maggie.
As does the punch.

But not all minor assaults are actioned by the police.

 

[Maggie5]

Think I will stop carrying then.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Refer to the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) and Summary Offences Act 1966 (Vic) for legislative provisions.

There is a common law side to it but these are a good starting point.

Your mate Procrastinator35 thinks I'm a Zionist so I really don't care what you think of me.

Fred has clarified, thanks anyway.

What was your point again?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Fraser left on an island by his mates.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Fred has clarified, thanks anyway.

What was your point again?

My point is that by what you posted, it is quite obvious whether it is an assault or not...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

So you think it's ok for a young dick head to go around egging people? If it had been me, the response from me would have been much harder.

Yeah, it’s ok.

I don’t think gently cracking eggs on people’s heads is something that needs to be handled in the courts.

 

[sherb]

The guy that threw a shoe at Bush did 9 months.

This kid should face legal repercussions regardless of your stance on Anning.

I'm not sure that it is illegal to trash a perfectly good egg though.

 

[Maggie5]

My point is that by what you posted, it is quite obvious whether it is an assault or not...

Okay but no charges according to police, right?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

.

The last thing Anning wants is legal questions into who was defending him.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Okay but no charges according to police, right?

Correct but as previously mentioned by someone in this thread, parties have a right to purse legal action.
