My favourite post Grand Final interview

[XD LAW @XDlawyers]

AG refuses to intervene in McBride trial.

We are bitterly disappointed with the correspondence received today on behalf of the Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus. We have waited weeks for a reply to detailed subs seeking the withdrawal of charges against McBride and now this vague letter arrives, with no indication that the arguments have even been considered.
As a trial is days away, we cannot comment on the matters we put to Mr Dreyfus seeking his intervention but we utterly reject the contention that the Attorney-General cannot intervene except in "unusual and exceptional circumstances". The law imposes no such restraint nor any hint of it. The AG does not need exceptional circumstances but there is no shortage of them in McBride’s case.
The implication that the AG’s Department has an arm's-length relationship to the case is difficult for us to accept as we are constantly entangled in its interventions. The AG now exerts startling powers over the conduct of the trial and the presentation of evidence under the National Security Information Act (NSI) Those powers are being exerted with vigour. In common parlance the AG and his delegates are up to their necks in this secret trial.

Just saw a Police paddy wagon parked in a No Stopping zone outside Glebe Police Station. Should I call the police?

It's unconscionable that David McBride and Richard Boyle are both before courts for blowing the whistle on misconduct and alleged crimes. They are heroes, not villains. It’s time for the Attorney-General to drop the charges immediately https://t.co/w8Ys92xMM5. #auspol #politas

[David McBride @MurdochCadell]

So incredibly grateful for this. Thank you @MrRexPatrick and @SatPaper
Thank you.
Each day the pressure of a trial and lengthy jail sentence weighs heavily on my family.

Meanwhile Mark Dreyfus makes speeches how he loves transparency.

The hypocrisy threatens the whole Govt.

Hmm. How exactly does the 50c of the Uber Green fee that the company keeps “help other drivers with fossil-fuel vehicles transition to electric”?

Today, NBC and USA Swimming officially waived the white flag at the end of finals by changing their medals table graphic to a total medals sort. #fukuoka2023

@BBCYaldaHakim @BBCWorld @BBCNews Oh no - that’s a massive loss for the BBC Yalda. But what a contribution you’ve made, and what impact you’ve had, especially in your beloved Afghanistan. See you in Oz.

I just spoke to @julesmorrow from @RadioNational about the forthcoming #Australian #Referendum on a #Voice to #Parliament. And I made a prediction on whether it will pass, and what it means for @PeterDutton_MP and for @AlboMP

19 men have been imprisoned by the US at Guantanamo Bay for over 20 years *without charge*.

16 of them have been cleared for release ... but not released.

Fionnoula Ní Aoláin is the first independent UN expert to meet them https://t.co/6Ocym0M2BL

If you were impressed by @eleanor_dejong writing in The Guardian @PatMcGorry , prepare to be impressed again by Eleanor speaking about it on @RadioNational #SundayExtra: https://t.co/ECdtNJ7ICc

@ClaireCNWL Yes brilliant It’s a scandal that despite all the “awareness” of mental illness in recent years that severe mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar are so neglected still. The lived experience voice must be more inclusive and advocacy less superficial

Worth swiping right to see how "allegedly" can be UNDERused as well as overused. Allegedly.
