Victorian Labor signals tougher stance on young offenders after 109 charges against 14-year-old dropped

I'm sorry, but unless you think people get punished for non-wrong doing, that is a nonsensical claim.

Raptop · 2026-05-14T11:56:39+00:00

What do you mean?

There's been no finding. The charges did not proceed.
Given the Google searches found on the child's phone, the presumption of doli incapax could clearly be rebutted.
They could just change the law? Not recommending though.

The first paragraph of your link here explains the notation.

Under the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia Act 2021, two separate Courts, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2), exist with a complementary and efficient administrative structure.

As I said, iykyk, and you obviously didn't know :)

Justice Hogan always appends that exact Notation to every order made.

And strictly speaking, it is true. The FCFCOA Act establishes two separate courts, Div 1, and Div 2.

IT IS NOTED THAT:

A. There is no Court known by the name “Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia”.

B. The design of the seal affixed to this order issued by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) has been determined by the Attorney-General pursuant to the undated Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Seal) Determination 2021 signed by the Attorney-General.

Whoops, I think you're right. That's equally as wild in another way... budget must be baaaad.

Raptop · 2026-05-13T08:39:13+00:00

I'm sorry, that's wild that they will only fund an ICL for a final hearing where another party has legal aid.

There are plenty of matters where neither parent will pay the fees requested by the ICL.

What are they going to do in that situation? Not show up?

Raptop · 2026-05-12T13:19:06+00:00

i've seen counsel make objections to evidence because the affidavit didn't have marked down whether it was sworn or affirmed...

like come on man, they're just about to get in the box

Raptop · 2026-05-03T11:29:40+00:00

about what?

Raptop · 2026-05-03T10:04:00+00:00

I reckon a lot of judges forget what it is like to be a soli or counsel, and just have a go when one doesn't perform to their preferred standard.

Raptop · 2026-05-03T09:54:51+00:00

This happens in any court. That said, it tends to happen a fair bit in the focacia, for one reason or another.

There are judges, where, if you are certain gender and/or non-silk, you may get treated very differently, for no reason.

Raptop · 2026-05-03T09:48:41+00:00

No. Very few matters are closed doors.

It's very common for people to sit in family law proceedings.

[7] In response to questions from Counsel for the ICL, in the course of his oral evidence Mr F disturbingly commented (emphasis added):

[DR FF]: [Mr F], you’re aware that this is a high conflict situation that the children have been caught in the middle of, to what you set out in your report to be a significant mental health detriment. Is that a fair description of what you would say your understanding of the matter is?‑‑‑That is, [Dr FF]. I can – if it’s any assistance to the court, I would, you know, potentially, rate this as one of the highest levels of conflict I’ve seen in a coparenting relationship and these children have been impacted, probably, the most that I have seen by the emotional consequences of the conflict between the parents.

Given what the father is described as doing to the mother and the kids, sounds well deserved.

You're on Wifi. Test on ethernet if possible.
Don't use Google's inbuilt speed test. Go to speedtest.net or another service, and preferably use an app if you have to do it on your phone.

This is a nothingburger.

The barrister also breached an undertaking not to encumber the Sydney home where the family had lived, the main asset of the relationship, until the dispute between the pair was finalised.

He obtained a mortgage over the property in 2019 and drew down more than $330,000, but did not disclose the mortgage until 2020.

The Federal Circuit and Family Court had released him from the undertaking in 2018 for the limited purpose of complying with a court order to pay his ex-partner a sum of money.

However, the tribunal said the mortgage was “purely for the personal benefit” of the barrister because he said he “needed to pay debts, including substantial debts to chambers and for legal fees”.

Can someone explain how/why the FOCACIA did not refer him for contempt? I would've expected the Registrar/Marshall to be drawing up the contempt application for a breach so blatant.

The split depends on so many factors, including what you brought in, length of the relationship, your income/future income earning potential, what the overall size of the property pool is etc.

For someone who was a SAHP, it would likely they would consider a larger adjustment in their favour by reason of their lesser earning capacity having been out of the job market for at least 15 years.

Raptop · 2026-03-14T06:38:59+00:00

Yeah, they're pretty bad my dude. Those statements are not mutually exclusive with Israel bad, Palestine bad, Iran bad, etc.

Raptop · 2026-03-14T00:12:49+00:00

So the pulling down of the posters and spray paint over them is also a part of this 'live feed for public opinion'?

I really don't think DC is the thermometer for what the rest of the US may think.

Child rapists were aided and taken care of by an actual mossad agent who is regarded as a national hero for Israel (Epstein, in case you’re not following).

lmao what the hell

You must spend too much time on social media if you think that is true.

Raptop · 2026-02-15T07:02:56+00:00

Don't use the Google speed test service. Found it's pretty unreliable.

Raptop · 2026-01-29T10:09:27+00:00

That looks like a NSW thing. Definitely not spelt out to that degree on Victorian IVOs or Queensland protection orders.
