You're just too stupid to respond in your own words. You'd be the type to smoke in the theatre like your giffy hero.
Pre doo doo is you alright. A fart with fluid drive.

I see Meli has been on another posting bender. Happy to respond to both your essays.
I don’t know why his defence lawyers (which btw if you did any research you would know were working pro-bono - most lawyers in the country were horrified by the leader of the greens in the ACT interfering with a rape trial for political reasons, and a few stood up for the sake of justice ) would be worried about another of her bullshit claims about an attempted kiss. Clearly most of the jury worked out that she couldn’t lie straight in bed anyway, so what is one more unsubstantiated bullshit story?
The leader of the greens who interfered so an un- winnable trial could go ahead for political advantage now call for a ‘independent’ inquiry into why the case failed? Boy you lefties are really taking this loss in your dates aren’t you?

So poor little Brit had to fend off his unwanted advances and then a few weeks later goes out and gets blind drunk with him and agrees to go back to the office alone with him? Sniff sniff.
Smells like bullshit to me.

Will you look at that...Albo paid up without a fight. Who would have thought?
So What exactly was she being compensated for?
Getting pissed and sleeping on a couch? Lying to the police?
Being conned by Lisa Wilkinson maybe? Lose of her book deal perhaps?
A reward for services rendered most likely.
Anyway that was nice of the ALP Government. She is going to need plenty of money over the coming months to pay for all the tissues she will use on the stand.
So girls there is your business model. Accuse someone from the Liberal party of rape and even if the charges are withdrawn you still get a payday.

That's why I'm always angry for a week after paying tax.
Not only am I contributing to a comfortable life for wastes of space like Hanson and Hanson-Young, now I'm subsidizing this silly bitch's lifestyle.

No one has ever gotten millions in a settlement if there wasn't a hell of a case.

Obviously. Unlike the USA though, she won't be getting squllions,
"The documents set out Ms Higgins's intention to sue for sexual harassment, sex discrimination, disability discrimination, negligence, and victimisation.
"At the time, the claim was expected to be worth about $3 million, including $2.5 million for future economic loss, past economic loss approaching $100,000 and general damages of $100,000."
If she'd put in a workers comp claim, the loss of AWE, medical bills ect would not be much less over 10 years depending on her income. Though it's unlikely a comp claim for the rape it'self would be accepted, the incident being out of work hours.
(and before someone jumps in, the "serious and willful misconduct" provisions don't apply if serious injury, incapacity or death results)

And there we have it folks ...
For many years LB has been calling Bill Shorten a rapist. Now things look a little different don't they? Are you going to retract your claims LB?
"Sherriff accused Shorten of raping her at a Labor Youth Camp in Portarlington in 1986 when she was 16 and he was 19. Victoria Police investigated her claims in 2013 and did not find sufficient evidence to support criminal charges against Shorten."

That's not the end of it though.

The concerns about police conduct are now being examined by the law enforcement watchdog, the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity.
Pressure is also growing on the ACT government to announce some form of public inquiry into the affair. Almost every party involved has called for some form of inquiry and it is now being seriously contemplated by chief minister Andrew Barr’s cabinet.
The cabinet met on Monday afternoon and discussed the possibility of a broad-ranging, independent inquiry.
“The cabinet discussed how a broad-ranging, independent inquiry could help to identify the roles played by the parties involved in the trial and whether these actions were appropriate,” Barr said. “These discussions also noted that an [Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity] investigation is currently under way.”
Higgins has also complained about police conduct prior to the trial, alleging they distributed a USB stick containing, among other things, her private counselling notes to Lehrmann’s defence. The defence says they did not access the documents. She has complained to ACT policing and is still waiting on the results of the internal investigation.

Plenty of people shitting themselves over the 'hell of a case" she had and have now shut it down.

Taxpayers anywhere won't let pols get away with this shit unless claimant has a strong claim. Every jurisidiction I know about has similar methods for valuing a claim. "Nuisance value" to a defendant is somewhere between 0 and double the cost of defending a shitty claim with a slim chance of success. Depending on the case, here that means something between 10k and 150k.
Anything significantly more than that means it's got teeth. When a settlement gets into the millions, it's almost a certainty that plaintiff would win the case with real damages.

If law is anything, it's logical. Not always reasonable, and often quite unfair, but always logical.
