Dont get why people get annoyed with Bolt. Everything he comes out with is shit so why not just avoid him. Easy enough to do with the HS paywall

Cos he has a platform which allows him to spread bullshit to morons dumb enough to buy into it?

If you dont agree with him it's still easy enough to ignore him and the idiots who buy into it

Good on Dan Andrews for sticking his neck out with this one

You've missed my point.

 

[jd2010]

You've missed my point.

Having a platform?

Sky/HS allow him that because he generates clicks/views on both sides. The more the side against him don't give either platform the views the sooner he ****s off

An elderly man with known illnesses is wrongly imprisoned for over a year due to the justice system in his state and he has no comment.

Too busy fining learner drivers I guess.

Wrongly imprisoned?

Wrongly imprisoned?

Was being a bit cheeky.

I don’t like Pell or large sections of the catholic church but in a legal sense his conviction was quashed today so he was imprisoned for something they can’t prove he did, and certain testimonies that state he couldn’t possibly have done it were largely ignored by the jury. Hence here we are.

What is the point in having a jury then?

Guess it goes to show money can buy innocence.

I don’t envy them really.

High profile case that’d have been hard to not have prior knowledge of the church’s dealings and then to preside over the innocence or guilt of someone for a crime allegedly 20 years old where the other alleged victim had died (he said nothing occurred fwiw).

So they aren’t the main problem, a jury of his peers believed the witness testimony to be true, Pell didn’t testify as to not further incriminate himself (suspect that will be based on knowing the misgivings of other priests). The core problem lies with the appeals court not following established precedents.

 

[SM]

For someone who doesn't like Pell you're doing a good job of defending him Gero.

Pell is the problem. Kiddy fiddler and enabler.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

After watching Spotlight a few times it gives you a different perspective on this stuff.

Seems that way. Seems to definitely have known about Risdale’s offending.

Think the burden of proof for historical cases is just too high. Bloody hard to prove

 

[jd2010]

Did the Catholic church openly fund his appeal?

I have had to stop taking my son coz it's against the law, so i think she should have got fined. It's no different to what Lebbo was doing imo.

Thank god(or Scomo) for the Job Keeper payment.

Fine was overturned this morning.

I guess she could take her daughter for short driving trips to the shops or doctors. It would be in the process of conducting essential travel

Yeah I saw it got overturned, I'm just saying it's not fair on the rest of us doing the right thing.

Sure if it was to work, essential shopping, the doctor etc thats fine, but just a drive for the sake of it is not allowed.

55 year old man, obese and in extremely poor shape, probably hypertensive + other comorbidities. There’s a strong chance he doesn’t survive this.

I think you have never seen an obese person if you think Boris Johnson is obese.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah they were driving on Peninsula Link FFS. Hardly would say it's essential.
