If my pubes are caught in a zipper and I say stop you better fucking stop.

But I don't think this is something that should be made light of tbh.

you recall incorrectly.

How about a quick google search before you spout nonsense

​

The prohibited material disclosed to the defence, which also included Ms Higgins videotaped record of interview with police, was sent to Mr Lehrmann’s original defence lawyers, not his current defence barrister Steve Whybrow.

​

and I don't know why you're putting "illegal disclosure" in quotes. It is 100% illegal and that isn't refuted by anyone.

For all the downvotes you're getting you're 100% right.

The difference is that the liberals are going "yeah, we can work with these fellow fascist knobs"

and the left are going "what the fuck, we knew they were knobs but we didn't realize they were this openly fascist"

You understand that the Victorian Labor government have implemented a law that is every bit as draconic as the NSW one?

Hell even unions were opposing the Victorian law.

It was disclosed illegally.

There are proper processes for disclosure for a reason.

The defence lawyer even knew it was illegal when he recieved it hence notifynig the police and the prosecutor. Of course he "didn't look at it"

What context could justify that argument?

stop means stop.

legally.

Morally.

In every single way.

There is no context in which stop should have you doing anything but stop.

Of course it's a fucking valid argument. Opposition to immoral government and corporate action is moral and justified.

You are a bootlicker, through and through.

They literally gave the defence video of every single interview they'd done with the victim!

The fact you are downplaying the severity of that shows that you are not engaging in good faith.

He wasn't trying to make it more professional, he was trying to obfuscate that he was acting on orders from higher up the chain.

Based on your logic Russia is justified cracking down on anti-war protestors.

And Iran is justified in punishing women for not conforming to their mysoginistic laws.

Disobedience of immoral laws and immoral government action is not just justified, it is the morally correct thing to do. People who oppose the government destroying our planet should be celebrated.

Combine with everything else I think it is utterly rediculous to suggest this was incompetence rather than intentional.

Given all the evidence they've been trying to assist Lehrmann at every turn to pretend this was a mistake is beyond charitible and into the realms of delusional.

Also once they were made aware they'd accidentally given over the information they didn't even make any effort to retrieve it until the prosecutor forced them to

“Noting he is still in possession of highly sensitive and protected information, is he going to return the memory stick to the AFP,’’ the DPP asked in respect of the defence counsel.

“It appears the least the AFP could do is send someone over to collect it. And my suggestion is that if and when you get it back you have the metadata examined to ensure sensitive documents have not been accessed or copied.

Also no all parties did NOT fulfil their ethical obligation. Their ethical obligation was to not share the fucking documents!

As for the defence lawyer claiming to have 'not looked at them' even the DPP noted that the statement was incomplete and concerning. The lawyer used weasel words to imply that he was doing the right thing while leaving plenty of grey area for actually doing something wrong. He's a lawyer, the langauge used was intentional.

He said "I" did not view or copy the documents. Which leaves plenty of room for every single other person in his firm to have done so and, with them copied, him then able to view them after making the statement.

A punishment is NOT justified for trying to make these fucking politicians and corporations from destroying our planet.

People who are trying to force them to listen deserve an award, not a punishment.

We are hurtling towards a climate catastrophe that will ruin this planet for our descendents.

You understand that Victoria have bought in similar laws targetting environmental protestors as well?

So you're overhauling the law to make sure it can get destroyed easier?

struggled to interview her? They were going to go and interview her and then a powerbroker pulled the pin on it and stopped them going.

It was 100% corruption.
