The report is 839 pages long. There is nothing earth-shattering about it; the recommendations are anodyne and of little interest to the general public.

I was most interested in the part about Heidi Yates, trotting alongside Higgins like a little dog, but she remains unscathed.

Not in the report, some of the police officers involved have resigned, or gone on stress leave, probably never to return to policing, which should please loony Leftists.

Sofronoff seems to have wasted his own time and everybody else's.

The story goes that the Labor/Green ACT government was enraged that Sofronoff released the report - and they want a report on him - because they didn't get a chance to redact some of it. I read in detail,and speed read some sections of the report, and I didn't see anything that the ACT government would need or want to redact. They could hardly cover up the shameful behaviour of the DPP, who has received his comeuppance.

The whole affair was very grubby, and the ACT government is looking even grubbier.

One good think on the matter of their forced take over of the Calvary Hospital is that the Senate enquiry into that outrage has been extended due to to petitions and general objections from the public.

The appeal against the hospital outrage was dismissed, and the dismissal has been accepted by the Catholics. But, they seem convinced that such a thing will not happen again after the extended Senate enquiry has grilled the ACT tinpot government, and that the mud will stick to them - and to the horrible Prime Minister who stood by them, when he could have prevented the anti-private property, anti-Christian assault, the ACT being a territory and not a state,

Shame on all the foul people involved.

"Former Liberal Party adviser Bruce Lehrmann says he is seeking millions of dollars in damages after his high-profile rape charge was dropped.

Mr Lehrmann was accused of raping his then-colleague Brittany Higgins in Parliament House in 2019. However, his trial was aborted last year after a juror engaged in misconduct while the jury was deliberating. A retrial was then scrapped due to concerns about Ms Higgins's mental health.

Mr Lehrmann maintains he is innocent. There have been no findings against him. Last week, the findings of an ACT board of inquiry into the handling of Mr Lehrmann's case were made public.

The inquiry — akin to a royal commission and led by former Queensland judge Walter Sofronoff — accused Mr Drumgold of engaging in "serious misconduct" during the investigation and trial. However, it also found the decision by police and Mr Drumgold to prosecute Mr Lehrmann was correct — a decision that does not imply that Mr Lehrmann is guilty. Mr Drumgold has since announced his resignation, though he disputed many of the inquiry's adverse findings against him.

It looks like the ACT is happy to prosecute alleged rapists with zero evidence.

This sounds familiar!

"Prosecutors in the ACT went ahead with the rape trial of a university student despite being repeatedly warned it would only end up humiliating and further damaging the young woman who had made the allegation because there was clear evidence she had lied.

Defence barrister Steven Whybrow SC wrote to the prosecutor before the man’s trial in April pointing out that the complainant’s story was so wildly contradictory and at odds with the evidence that “even the gentlest cross-examination of this complainant is going to be devastating and humiliating for her”.

“I am genuinely concerned about the effect running this case might have on this young woman,” he said. “Such a prosecution will not advance the position of persons genuinely subjected to sexual assault.”

In the event, the prosecution rejected Mr Whybrow’s plea for the prosecution against 21-year-old Alex Matters to be discontinued and the trial went ahead.

The jury found Mr Matters, an Australian National University student and former Labor staffer, not guilty of the charges.

He and the complainant had been in a “friends with benefits” relationship but on one occasion, the woman said, he would not stop sex when she asked him to."

This whole rape saga has been too much, the Liberal Party handled it extremely badly, with the priority being a cover up to protect political reputations, and the parties good name, which it had lost after the Porter allegations, and other well publicised scandals. This has cost the taxpayer millions, which if handled appropriately in the first place, that would never have eventuated.

Village idiot,

What you mean is the two fake rape cases? Zero evidence has been provided for either.

On the other hand, the two cases of Child rapists in the Greens have led to 2 convictions of senior greens that the Greens are desperately trying to cover up.
