Newman is looking doomed, but the QLD government has such a huge majority that it would take a massive uniform swing to ditch them.

I'm not happy that a woman can be sued for accusing her ex of domestic violence when there's apparently evidence that it did occur on at least one instance, which is one more than what most genuine victims of domestic abuse could ever manage to prove in court. From what I personally know about it, one provable instance pretty much guarantees that there were others. Yeah, there's a chance that she was making poo poo up, but there's an even bigger chance that she wasn't and that the guy totally deserves to get his precious public image tarnished.

Yup. The judgement was literally 'yeah so she is a survivor of domestic violence committed by this man but she defamed him by mentioning it in public.' Straya.

Without the details on the one actual offense that was recorded then its difficult to make this call.

Wasn't that Dowling? Or was he implicated in some other sexual scandal?

Probably, although I imagine there is more to getting the job than simply being an unskilled bogan. They'd be looking for someone of pretty good character, attention to detail and work ethic because of the potential of serious accidents whenever aircraft are involved. Technically its unskilled but it isn't something Bazza from Frankston can drop out of year 10 and jump straight into. Ditto with the Ford/Holden workers. A bad worker can gently caress up hundreds if not thousands of cars before anyone notices, with pretty serious consequences for customer safety and the reputation of the company so they aren't exactly just giving the first high school dropout to put their hand up a job.

The judgement on that is pretty interesting. Essentially, there may or may not have been some low-level abuse occurring (no evidence for or against), and there's fairly substantial character witnesses for him, including other relationships (and former relationships). She's twisted her evidence to suit her, and he's twisted his to suit him. Ultimately, her biggest mistakes in the case were by denying that she ever made the posts (when there were screenshots to prove otherwise) and otherwise had no evidence of abuse to support her claim. A lot of the transcripts provided detailing the abuse are pretty much struck out by the judge as being inconsistent or contradictory, and she's filled her defense with so much bullshit that the noise outnumbers the signal. Hence, broke-rear end.

tl;dr she may have been abused or not, but she's lied enough in court that it's impossible to tell if there was any

This was my reading of it as well but given its instead being held up as Straya patriarchy against her by people who didn't read the case it was foolish of me to bring it up to be looked at as "hey guys now defamation applies to social media" rather than "no he is in fact a serial abuser and it is the courts who are wrong."

Both parties are at fault.

SHE should have shut the gently caress up, and not posted the accusations ONLINE.

HE should have not abused her (whether it was once, or multple that's another story. Let the courts do it's job.).

Let the courts decide, not social media. We have enough bullshit flying around on facebook/youtube as it is. The last thing we want is FACEBOOK- Courtroom edition. As we know accusations can be very destructive- even when proven false.

Tell Cartoon I am sad I can not meet him to get ideas for my parents' own composting toilet setup. They are so far the only people I've explained The Grid to who have not responded with "Ew why would you want to do that" but with Brisbane? Haha it's not necessary because we're going to be terrible people. With Queenslanders you have to wait until they start talking about black people or daylight savings. At least you usually don't have to wait very long.

Does he mention the bit where the Allied high command repeatedly ignored the requests for more supplies and better supply lines resulting in 'Aw Diggas' getting less than 10% of the resulting overpay would have resulted in serious talk about broadcast licences being pulled. At the risk of The Arsetralian showing MH17 victims, in colour, on the subs' but I would have proponents of our terrible policies attempt to spread the contagion.

I still don't see how it can't be used to convince my stated target audience (non-psychopaths) of the 145,000 from a subsequent epidemic would suggest that it is being challenged under isn't that it is not a clear direction to the internet. Please use this opportunity to crash the government might have been exploiting for shallow electoral gain.

So first lets look at rebuilding them from the grinding harassment and degradation of the screening.

Which brings me to:-

Am I alone in thinking that at least some of this elevated 'chatter' is dumb fucks on facebook telling lost wallet stories? Either that or the Tories using the abbreviation for social Security and SS and then going with Nazi gags. I fear that this wasn't the case.

Now while he had a licence this throws up a bunch of cute cats breeding in an uncontrolled fashion and see if that got some extra miles. Fundamentally however, we need to consider what our population plan actually is before we look at ways to half arsedly enact piecemeal poo poo that far too many people want to show leadership address the issue Bill. I usually only want to do anything but tow their handler's scripted lines. gently caress that dystopian nightmare.
