I ask just what is happening to our lawgivers?
Is the law truly,actually,blind to its own faults and actions?

Read, under stand, just what looks to be behind this rude aggressive woman.
For just a second, put your self in the shoes of this police officer.
Charged with a crime.
He did not commit.
Be aware it is true,lies are a weapon for some of these people used as a cowardly thing, not unlike a child bluffed to die bomb strapped to chest.
6 months? not nearly enough

CSteele,

<< I would hope that any humane judge does take into account at sentencing the fact there are seven children involved>>

Bunkum!

It could be argued that a humane judge

(and baring in mind the meaning of the word humane includes:
“Marked by an emphasis on humanistic values and concerns” )


Taking into account the best interests of the children, might have imposed the maximum sentence –and, even gone further.

In support of this proposition I present :

1) Exhibit A -- The woman's abusive outburst when lawfully detained/questioned & subsequent dishonesty. Behavior which can only be interpreted by impressionable minors as an exemplar.

2) Exhibit B – a record of her husbands beliefs --ditto previous comment.

<< A man claiming to be Matthews’ husband, Hamdi Abu Ibrahim, sent out the call on his Facebook page this week and later thanked: “ALL THE HERO’S (sic) AND LIONS OF ALLAH WHOM (sic) HAD THE CHANCE TO COME TO THE COURT AND FIGHT FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH ... ALLAH HAS GRANTED YOUR OPPRESSED SISTER VICTORY OVER HIS ENEMIES AND HE GRANTED US A JUDGE THAT FROM THE WORD GO HE WAS DEFENDING YOUR SISTER WHERE EVERYONE ELSE WAS DETERMINED TO SEE HER JAILED, BUT ALLAH HAD OTHER PLANS”.
His Facebook page, with the profile picture of a bloodied fist replaced yesterday by a handcuffed figure in a burqa, has messages from supporters such as: “Allah akbar, may all the pigs burn in hell inshallah”.
It features videos of Osama bin Laden, slurs against infidels and “Kufaars” (non-Muslims), “American pig savages” and “Zionist dogs”.
Last weekend Ibrahim wrote: “YA ZIONIST DOGS THERE WILL BE A DAY VERY SOON THAT YOULL FIND NO SHELTR NOR A WALL TO HIND (sic) BEHIND AND WE WILL EAT YOUR FLESH AND SPIT IT TO OUR DOGS TO CHEW OFF.”
And this: “HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO STAY WEAK, NO MORe MR NICE GUY, WE WILL DEFEND OUR iSLAM AND OUR SISTERS WITH OUR BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD.>>

The law is an ass ---and its advocates often show themselves to be an asses ass .

@ Belly:

Re Einfeld - surely this is a case of a flawed individual, rather than the law or "law givers"? Einfeld was never in parliament, where laws are made, and in any case has to answer for his actions to the law.

Personally, I think the guy's bizarre behaviour is consistent with him having undergone some kind of breakdown. I don't thInk you can extrapolate the actions of one judge to the entire judiciary or to the law itself.

There might just have been the possibility of using this clause;

(a) the responsible person for the vehicle, or the person having the
custody of the vehicle, must, when required to do so by an authorised
officer, immediately give information (which must, if so required, be
given in the form of a written statement signed by the responsible
person) as to the name and home address of the driver,

Revealing the face "could" be construed as giving information, ie the image.
An image could be construed as information.

Anyway, a simple update of the act fill fix that.

You may not be aware that wearing the burqua and refusing to show
her face may well have been to avoid a further cancellation of her
licence and another driving conviction. She has a list of convictions
that you couldn't jump over, approx 20.
They were read out on the radio the other day.

morganzola, just a comment on your observation regarding Einfeld, a fine man with issues, this comment from me earlier:

"we all expect the beak to be crusty and peculiar but when I heard two judges pleading for their jobs and using terms such as major mental illness , depression, mood swings, ongoing medication, and of course bi polar,"

They both got a pass, I say medication or not they should not be deliberating justice outcomes.
