SteeleRedux, have you ever been under cross examination on the witness stand? Nothing that the witness has previously said is accepted and all will be cynically dismembered.
Especially when the events are from recall from years after the event.
The human memory is very imprecise and nothing is definite.
The woman in question was a known fantasist and her friends knew this.

Dear Jay Cee Ess,

You write: "The woman in question was a known fantasist and her friends knew this."

How do you know?

Depending on how she was coping at the time she may well have been able to give quite a comprehensible account of what occurred. We have had a person who has stepped forward who is apparently able to give accounts related to him by both Porter and the woman in question. Are these to be believed?

Only a twit, or a lefty of doubtful integrity, would peddle this stuff.

I would say that part of the reason this "Kate" killed herself is that she realised the information she'd passed to the police was fiction.

Any inquiry into Porter would be very short. Hearsay evidence is not admissible, and neither would an unsigned diatribe by a mentally retarded woman. The only potential evidence would be Porter's testimony which he would almost certainly refuse to give.

It was Turnbull who appointed Porter Attorney-General even though very loud alarm bells were ringing as to his suitability, based on his character and reputation. Only an independent enquiry can determine if Porter is a fit and proper person to hold such high office.

Paul1405,

You reckon "only an independent enquiry can determine if Porter is a fit and proper person to hold such high office."

Not from where I'm standing.

For me, the only question now is Who will be the bigger loser, Porter or Morrison?

And of course let's not forget that little honey Linda Reynolds. She's probably wondering if she will have anything to come back to once she runs out of sick leave. Maybe she can get a Soot's half price plane ticket to Hawaii and disappear down a volcano?
