'Despite this he was adamant she was guilty based on the unusable evidence.'

Many claimed that a dingo had never attacked humans before. The whole case was based on lies from 'experts' and an innocent woman was gaoled. There is nothing for me to be careful about in this disgraceful event in Australian history. I suspect your mate has serious character issues if he still thinks Chamberlain was guilty. I also suspect he has egg all over his face like many of the press did. The 'experts' could not distinguish between paint and blood.

"Many claimed that a dingo had never attacked humans before." and as you indicate, runner, they were wrong.

My friend, the late Burnum Burnum told me that he talked to the aboriginal trackers who were involved in the Chamberlain case and they were adamant that a dingo had taken the baby and, what's more, had identified the particular dog.
On the subject of dingoes and babies, they told Burnam that aboriginal children had been taken in the past but that the authorities never bothered to do anything about it because in their words as he related them, "...they're just bloody abos".

Allegations about Cardinal Pell's behaviour have
followed him for years. The following link is worth

There have been widespread reports in the French media in the last few days on the Pope’s ambassador to France, Archbishop Ventura, who is accused of sexual assaults by two young Frenchmen and a Canadian. One of the Frenchmen who works at the Paris City Hall appeared on television.

The problem, of course is that the ambassador has the benefit of diplomatic immunity and, despite the Pope’s recent announcement “urbi et orbi” of “zero tolerance” in respect of such matters, the Vatican took a long time to react. Finally, the official Vatican spokesman, Alessandro Gisotti, said the Vatican had learned about the investigation from media reports and declared: “The Holy See is waiting for [the] investigation’s conclusion.”

In the meantime, the archbishop of Lyon (a major city south of Paris) Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, is on trial on charges of helping cover up allegations of child sexual abuse by priests. A verdict is due on March 7. He has not been suspended from his functions.

Bernard Preynat, a French priest involved in the scandal, has been trying to block the release of a film about child abuse by priests by the acclaimed director, François Ozon, best known for ‘Swimming Pool’ starring Charlotte Rampling.

The film has premiered in Berlin and is due for release in France on Wednesday. A new book, due to be published next week, claims that about 80 per cent of priests at the Vatican are homosexual.

The book, In the Closet of the Vatican, by a French author and journalist, Frédéric Martel, is based on 1,500 interviews with priests, cardinals, Vatican ambassadors, seminarians and members of the Swiss Guard, the Pope’s private army.

Mr Martel claims that some gay priests are in relationships while others frequent male prostitutes. Some are in denial while others are gay but celibate.

There have also been a number of reports in the French media lately about sexual abuse of Catholic nuns by male clergy.

Here is an article that appeared in the 15th February edition of the UK Telegraph on the Pope’s ambassador to France :

Interesting how far OLO's Pellophile majority are out of step with broader Australian society.

In terms of the moderate Fairfax-Sydney Morning Herald survey published on page 32 of the paper on Saturday 2 March 2019.

on the Question

"Do you think the guilty verdict for George Pell on child abuse charges was right?"

Results "Yes"..[it was right]...71%

................."No"...............only 7%

..............."Unsure"................22%

Just to advise Pellophiles that Pell features on Four Corners tonight, 8.30pm ABC1.

" I trust our legal system. This trust, plus my background and my experience, says that the jury got it right". What a steaming load of dog's droppings. The accusation against Pell is probably a combination of corrupt litigation lawyers who will say anything for money, and a witness with an overactive imagination, probably from smoking ice or crack.
