in old common law stuff and some of the time in criminal codes a criminal act has two distinct parts, the act and the intention. you have to both do the thing and intend to do it for it to be criminal. you don't have to know you're committing a crime, you just have to know what you're doing. ignorance of the law remains (mostly) no excuse. some offenses - often but not always serious crimes - fall into a category of 'strict liability'. it doesn't matter what your intention was, so long as you carried out the act. this comic explains it in the american context, but it's probably close enough: http://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=1008 thatbastardken fucked around with this message at 10:17 on May 8, 2017 |

while the comic may not be written with a sense of class consciousness, the author is clearly in favor of states and laws. not a libertarian.

probably? the comic gives a useful laymans terms explanation of legal matters, that's the only basis on which I suggest it. if you have a more ideologically sound option I'm all ears.

Did they say who? Because I've heard similar rumours and it would be interesting if they are about the same person.

Anidav posted:But the people I talk to reckon Malcolm would just hold another election because Bonner has a high chance of going ALP and the Coalition doesn't want to risk a vote of no confidence. Also plausible. Bonner could have gone ALP in 2016 but they pulled support from their candidate in the last couple of weeks. Pre-selection fights between Labor Left and Right candidates have reportedly been pretty brutal.

kinda feels like our little tax office scandal is weak compared to the potentially treasonous acts of the entire top echelon of the US executive.
