shifty&shadyminister,

Did you see the interview with Malcolm Turnbull just over a week ago?

He seemed to me to indicate there was something more to be investigated and I thought he implied that the woman's death was a bit suspect.

Mr Opi,
A person does not take their life over something that they believe happened 33 years ago. There has to be other factors that trigger suicide, factors like the state of the mind at the time.

shadowminister,

In Shorten's case it was found that the was absolutely no case to answer. Should he then have been allowed to sue those who reported on it? That is ridiculous.

The ABC reported that an accusation had been made. Just because Porter can't sue the accuser doesn't mean he will be able to make the case that the ABC should then be sued.

The courts will tell us soon enough.

shifty&shadyminister,

Here's that interview with Turnbull on ABC where he seems to imply that there is something a bit suspect with the death of the woman who was raped in 1988:

SR,

In Shorten's case, the police found that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute (same as with Pell) as there was one person's word against another's. They never said that there was no case to answer, but there was far more than with Porter.

With Porter, there is not even a witness or any corroborating evidence or even a complaint laid by a witness. But thanks for exposing your hypocrisy.

Shorten didn't need permission to sue, he just didn't because the chance was far higher that he would lose.

shifty&shadyminister,

What do you think of the interview with Turnbull above?

I don't think Porter will be wanting to get a character reference from Turnbull.

But maybe he could get one from this guy:
