ALT,

If the ABC is shown to have acted with malice, all pretence of non-partisanship will be stripped away and they can be forced to reorganise to meet the requirements of the act.

Louise Milligan will personally be bankrupted, and the fwits that let her publish this partisan polemic will be up against the wall.

shonkyminister, sounds like you are blowing the same old trumpet you used when you claimed "An arrest is imminent" in the 'Beat Up' Bolt case, some years back. Despite your claims no arrest was ever forthcoming. Still pretending to be some kind of 'Legal Eagle' with your pontifications on the law. I wouldn't engage you to defend me against a jaywalking charge, unless of course I wanted to spend the next 20 years in jail.

See how Porter wants to be paid FULL TIME but work PART TIME, the taxpayer can support him while he chases the ABC. The same bloke who wants women to draw on their Supa, if they have any, to save themselves from domestic violence. Morrison should flick Porter now!

Pauliar,

Lying through your teeth like when you claim that I said "An arrest is imminent" but have completely failed to prove it.

As for my offering opinions on legal issues on this site, I have yet to be shown to be incorrect as while I have repeatedly stated that I'm not a lawyer, I have some legal training as part of my MBA and I can read neither of which apply to you.

As for defending you on jaywalking charges, I would definitely try to get you 20 years in a mental institution for the criminally stupid.

Regarding Christian Porter, an independent inquiry
commissioned by the Office of the PM should be the
way to go. I'm not sure why the PM is hesitating
about pursuing this course of action.

The PM knows the truth about this farcical, and as usual is trying to make it appear that he is concerned and doing something about it, but at the same time KNOWING that this is all a typical pansy and political "beat-up", which has NO footings or traction what-so-ever.
So he treads a fine line between appeasing the little jelly brained, wall flowers and THE TRUTH.
We all know enough about this rubbish story to know that if we remove the weaker and less informed, yet politically motivated, that this would not have even made gossip columns, let alone actual news.
I strongly suggest, that anyone seeking to find fault in this story, just stop and review the facts and information first, and not blindly follow equally ignorant sheeple with nothing better to do than pick fault in others lives.
As I said before, Porter now having instigated legal action/redress against the ABC for slander, defamation or whatever, should seek the resignation of the CEO of the ABC, as is expected of others, especially those in the political arena.
Now of course we suddenly expose another of MY pet hates, and that is of females in high office, and the ever increasing list of failures they are accruing.
The ABC is no different.
The ABC is just another victim of female incompetence, and it is now being confirmed by this legal action by Porter.
As for the stupid suggestion of an independent enquiry about such a nothing matter, only shows the level of mental instability of the people today.
Instead of accepting fault/blame, like children, the guilty parties, and their protagonists, will ALWAYS deflect and look for a scape-goat, instead of showing courage, maturity and simply accept whatever on the chin, and moving on.
Commissioning an independent enquiry?
Really?
What absolute pion even has the gall to even think it, let alone suggest it?

Regarding Christian Porter - the reality is that
unless there is some form of investigation questions
will continue.

As Mr Albanese noted - the Abbott government dragged
Julia Gillard before a royal commission over allegations
involving her relationship with a union official many years
before she entered Parliament.

"For a government that had an inquiry into a kitchen
renovation of a former Prime Minister long before she was
in Parliament I find it quite frankly incredible. Some of
the arguments that have been used by the government to
reject this proposition," he said.

" The PM does not have a tin ear - but a wall of
concrete. This is a moment that requires leadership."

It would also give Christian Porter an opportunity to clear
his name.
