Very naive for all, to agree to join the lawyers feast
In this country we also have a naive view that lawyers will bring you justice. Actually it's a legal system, not a justice system
Yes, it has quickly become a painful farce and makes you wonder who thought this was a good idea, apart from legal teams.Quote:

Yes but we shouldn't have swallowed the Cool Aid and think lawyers want to help you. We are as litigious as the Californians with no reason for being soQuote:

2. Defendant sent a photo with all metadata removed, alleged bruise related to the assault. In fact this bruise had nothing to do with Mr. Lehrmann , it was sustained in the club after a fall, earlier in the night
3. Defendant confirms said the gross settlement was for $2.3m and after paying legal fees and taxes, she received $1.9m.
4. Mr Lehrmann had a girlfriend. He should have gone out for a punt instead of following the defendant as she consumed an estimated 10 vodkas, and taking her back to their bosses' office
5. Channel 7 are paying Mr Lehrmann rent for 12 months in an expensive apartment, for appearing in an interview. That's media morals for you
Court notes:
She brought a date called Nick
CCTV played to the court on Tuesday showed Ms Higgins’ bumble date Nick arriving and sitting with the group. Brittany agreed she ghosted him at the party and he left
“He was made fun of, yes, but in hindsight, I was rude to my date and he left because I was rude to my date,” "I didn't know his name was Nick' Ms Higgins said
The lawyer for Mr suggested to Ms Higgins that it was an “absolute lie” that she did not know his name, having referenced his name in a draft of her book, as well in her police interview.
Bruise:
However defendant said she now accepted it was possible that she suffered the bruise while falling up the stairs at a bar, 88MPH, on the same evening.
The court also heard that she told the TV show,The Project, that the bruise was caused by Mr Lehrmann
The court heard that when Ms Higgins sent the photo to The Project producer Angus Llewellyn, she sent him a screenshot rather than the original.
Ms Higgins denied that she sent him a screenshot so it would not contain any metadata, which would establish when it was taken
Add to that the lie about not wearing underpants. She now admits she went knickerless to the bars and said because she didn’t want a VPL (visible panty line) to show under her dress.
Her first draft of the book was loaded with fiction too.
There's too many holes in Higgins story she changed the story / facts several times and was blind drunk at the time of the alleged incident. She is not reliable in court to back up her claim how can she remember what happened when drunk off her face? I am so tired of seeing this BS case on the news every night.
She states she had the smell on her after the alleged assault. Right there she would have had the DNA sample to put the guy behind bars, if only she had gone to the police, none of these now meaningless trials would be going ahead.Quote:

Simple rule. If you work in a high security department in Canberra, do not go into Parliament House late at night with a man when you are really drunk. It will not end well
The system is broken, society is brokenQuote:

Its a real cluster fuck alright they are now giving rights to a terrorist he will be freed to do as he pleases on Christmas eve. 46 Million population and no infrastructure to accommodate everyone. This country is going to the dogs. Bringing people up just cause their famous on historic sex crimes is just bull shit. They are all in it for the money. Higgins is as well.Quote:

3. Everyone understands for a brief moment about the issues of sex and consent, but then soon return to not understanding the issues behind sex and consent
4. Brittany on that fateful morning had DNA evidence on her body and could have gone to the hospital. Of course she didn't want to lose her job, understood, but this alternative universe of show trials does her no favours. Anyone want to buy her upcoming book? Maybe Mr Lehrmann?
Would this be on the news every night if the victim was say a 2/10?
The news needs to stop following this story I am starting to mute the TV as soon as I hear Higgins. Man I am sick to death of this story. She can't even prove it happened.Quote:

We need someone better running the country they are just spending billions of dollars they don't have and we are all paying for it with the fuckin cost of living crisis. Meanwhile Higgins got her million plus for screaming bs in Canberra.Quote:

I for one wouldn't like to live in a country where the government could choose to indefinitely imprison someone on character grounds. Thats fascism.
Two surpluses in a row. Cost of living crisis is mostly driven by increased corporate profits according to the OECD.Quote:

What's the use of a surplus when everyone but the richest people are in deficit? The country has been in a per capita recession since September because of the mass immigration policy introduced by the Labor Gov.Quote:

Massive immigration lifted national GDP as expected and delivered their surplus, but it has inevitably increased the cost of living for everyone. And if you think you've seen the worst of it, think again. Unemployment WILL rise in the coming year, the signs are already there pointing to this. Then we will have not only increased cost of living (the immigrants are still here, aren't they?), but decreasing wages as well. The whole country would be in recession by then, not only per capita.
That's when we'll see the reckoning on this policy by Labor. It will probably be remembered as one of the worst moves ever by a Gov in power. Unbelievable...
