I am appalled by the current and ongoing 'trial by media' that exists. Another example came out today, involving Mr Craig McLachlan where the Court ruled in his favour.

Other cases have involved people like:

1. Cardinal George Pell: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-26/george-pell-guilty-child-abuse-how-it-happened/10847786#:~:text=Pell%20is%20Australia's%20most%20senior,the%20presence%2C%20of%20a%20child

The Victorian court decision was later squashed by the High Court of Australia.

2. Geoffrey Rush: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/australian-actress-levels-accusations-of-sexual-misconduct-against-actor-geoffrey-rush/2018/12/17/9cc3f636-01cc-11e9-9122-82e98f91ee6f_story.html who later received compensation after taking further legal action against the media involved.

3. Lindy Chamberlain: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jun/12/dingo-baby-azaria-lindy-chamberlain, with Lindy and her partner vilified by the media.

Some of the people above have spent time in prison. Their court cases and related inquiries have gone on for long times periods over many years. Some have had their names and careers literally ruined. This terrible ongoing crime by the media is something we the people must stand up and rally against! How do you think we the people can make a difference?

Excellent news. I hope his accusers get sued out of everything they own.

However, the media (Channel 7) last night treated him as though he was guilty, harping on the judges summary of his personality, which she didn't seem to like, and her whine that the prosecution didn't have the means to find him guilty.

We white males in Australia have lots of enemies: the media, the courts, and a particularly nasty strain of female.

ttbn,

What about Lindy Chamberlain?

Nathan,

What about her? She's history. All done and dusted. McLachlan is current. Thanks to nasty people there will always be false accusations made. Innocent people have been executed. What about them? My motto is this - the fewer people you interact with, the better.

Ttbn,

You admit, "My motto is this - the fewer people you interact with, the better."

How come I'm not surprised :)
