If we all had guns we could dispense our own justice and stuff the lawyers.
Funny how the bad guys never handed in their guns.

A judicial system looks after the interests of the victim. A legal system is governed by the amount of money available.
In Australia the Law protects the criminal & the Judiciary persecutes the victims.
It really is all upside down i.e. downunder.

If anyone needs any evidence that the judiciary in Oz is not only out of control, but has gone mad, try todays report of one of the ratbags awarding $467,000 in a sexual harassment case, where the woman "THINKS" she was raped.

"Although rape has not been proved, Ms Ewin's belief that she was raped was a reasonable reaction to what she had in fact experienced," the judge said in his December 5 decision.

So we don't know if it ever happened, there is no proof it ever happened, we don't know if the woman agreed, or asked for it if it ever happened, but the woman in question thinking it did, & she didn't want it, is enough for this ridiculous award.

I wonder if the judge actually knows what a quick bit of nookie is worth, & where he gets his values from, but obviously this one should be retired, along with most of his mates.

Hasbeen,
In that case I think i might have been raped too, about half a million Dollars' worth. What an insane situation we have arrived at. That judge should be made to have psychiatric assessment along with all others. Then again the Psychiatrists are probably even more insane so there goes that theory.
I really believe Academia has lost its way decades ago & the time has come to stand up & make a move against such insanity being let loose on society.
The people in the judges' electorate must be encouraged to table a proper petition in Parliament to review the sanity of the judge.

It'll be interesting what decisions Judges & Magistrates will make in the case of those overnight riots in Sydney. One bloke got stomped on his head. What penalty will his assaillant get ? Probably a sponsorship to become a defence Lawyer ?
