@Darthspoog It’s both infuriating and absolutely sickening

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@PeterWMurphy1 @IndigenousX I haven’t acknowledged the day for years. It doesn’t feel right to me having a celebration on a day that is so very painful to a community so important to this country and it’s history.

@kevinbonham An excellent analysis.

I assumed that it had to be his individual campaign that led to this, but can see that it is far more complex to draw that conclusion alone

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@D_Melissa2 Really tasteful response.

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@Daisy1158 @JaneCaro Quite the opposite. More funding placed into the one place a child can feel safe and receive respite from their home situation absolutely makes a difference

@real2023Oz @JaneCaro @NomNomDePlume2 If it means those resources will be directed to supporting children in schools that need it…yes

@philmupp1 My son is off to Newtown High this year. Co Ed all the way and actually more girls than boys. I cannot be happier and I’m sure he will be too when he hits around year 9 or so!

@el_duderino_2nd @OpossumNicholas @sydneymediagirl You’re still focusing on the evidence too narrowly.

Disregard detailed evidence and focus more on the legal and procedural elements of that body of evidence then apply it to fundamental rules in criminal law (such as burden of proof).

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@blakandblack Yes I feel like I’m being made to look in the wrong direction on something here

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@OpossumNicholas @el_duderino_2nd @sydneymediagirl In this instance, prosecution will be sure to tie up unchallenged evidence in line with their burden of responsibility and the legislature need to look at how these cases can be handled better under their Crimes Act

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@OpossumNicholas @el_duderino_2nd @sydneymediagirl He’s one of the best so it’s not surprising. These cases are very difficult to prove and post RCIRCSA in Vic, there is plenty of legislative reform happening. The justices that find these flaws are opening them up to be corrected in a way that works with the system

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@OpossumNicholas @el_duderino_2nd @sydneymediagirl I had a prof once say to me “there’s no right or wrong answer with the law otherwise we wouldn’t have dissenting judgements”. It’s so true. Even the court of appeal couldn’t agree. We have to accept the HCA judgement as is and rectify the law if needed moving forward

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@el_duderino_2nd @OpossumNicholas @sydneymediagirl I think you should have a crack at reading the judgement. It’s an emotive case and highly complex but your questions are fair and you are probably capable of understanding the legal issues if you can view it objectively

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@OpossumNicholas @el_duderino_2nd @sydneymediagirl Truth

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@el_duderino_2nd @OpossumNicholas @sydneymediagirl It’s not to disregard the evidence provided by the witness, however, to maintain a purely legal view, the inconsistency was not challenged by the prosecution, leaving the standard of proof unfulfilled by the Crown which the jury should have entertained

[CJ @CandiceJodrell]

@el_duderino_2nd @OpossumNicholas @sydneymediagirl Because it was inconsistent with what the Crown witness/victim had said
