Despite the wild stories of an out of control smoking ceremony, two men have been found guilty of arson in relation to the $5.3 million 2021 Old Parliament House fire.

Looks like having nothing better to do than arson about brings out the crap !

It was part of a "cultural ceremony" they claimed!! !!

Burning down solid doors is part of their culture, dontcha know.

Been doing it for 1000s of years....or something.

Just so that WTF can keep up, that was sarcasm.

It seems they just thought that if they used the word 'culture' it was a get outta gaol free card. It seems one of the cultural warriors arrived at the cultural ceremony in a silver Mercedes. Poor thing, I bet he's all for closing the gap.

The weirdest lie from the Left at the time was that it was ant-vaxxers 'what done it'.

WTF?

So if mhaze says that it is "sarcasm" then we can assume that it is misinformation?

Sounds good to me.

What an odd "all or nothing world" some seem to inhabit.

So is the unstated assumption (going on previous comments in other threads) that if one is supportive of initiatives such as the Voice then one must be supportive of vandalism?

Dear WTF?,

It really is a lot more toxic from mhaze than that I'm afraid. It generally is now just utter lies.

The curious part of the story concerns Nicholas Reed.

"Reed’s barrister, James Sabharwal argued that it would be “difficult” for the jury to identify a complete stranger based on a couple of CCTV videos.

But the jury ultimately sided with the prosecution and found the evidence, which included the silver Mercedes being registered to a woman who shared the same last name and address with the accused, was enough to convict.

The address, a home in Metung, is owned by Business Council of Australia president Tim Reed and his wife, according to The Australian."

He isn't dark enough for mhaze to get too excited about but it will be interesting to learn what motivated him.
