Annette Kimmitt thought it was an outrage that her firm would represent the Attorney General against defamatory rumours and sent out emails to that effect. The next day she was fired.

"The head of the nation’s largest law firm is expected to leave the firm after emailing all staff last week to tell them the firm’s representation of Attorney-General Christian Porter had “triggered hurt” for her.

MinterEllison board chairman David O’Brien reportedly told Annette Kimmitt her ser­vices were no longer required after a board meeting on Tuesday.

The firm refused to comment on Tuesday night.

Partners were appalled by an email sent by Ms Kimmitt to all staff on March 3 in which she apologised for any “pain” they might be experiencing because of the firm’s representation of Mr Porter, accused of raping a 16-year-old 33 years ago. He has ­denied the allegations.

Ms Kimmitt also sent a separate email to all partners in which she criticised partner Peter Bartlett, one of Australia’s leading defamation experts and a former MinterEllison chairman, for accepting the Attorney-General’s instructions."

shifty & shady minister,

I don't follow your argument.

Are you saying Ms Kimmitt has a conscience?

PS. I found your role model: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBe_guezGGc

Without a trial no one is condemned as guilty under Western rules. These were two teenage kids and they should have been tried under the Childrens Court at the time if enough evidence existed of rape. Those that are baying for blood need to produce evidence, rather than trial by popular media opinion.

People jump on popular opinion campaigns without any knowledge of the facts. The Communist left will condemn without evidence because of political hatred. School girls have had male teachers stood down because they accidently brushed past them in class, claiming assault.

Nothing as dramatic as being "fired". She will be leaving the firm in "coming months", and will undoubtedly be snapped up by an employer just gagging for such a loudmouth. She will certainly be going with a fabulous payout (she has done nothing that would affect that), which raises the suspicion that, wanting to move on, she was advertising herself to the highest bidder.

The next day she was fired.
Good thing for our society !

Of course, she was fired. She was called in and told that her services were not required. Most senior positions have a 3-month clause so that they cannot share confidential information. This is often called gardening leave.

This is the same twisted logic that Antifa uses to justify violence and criminal activity because their cause overrules the law.
