Cry Baby Porter, has dropped his case against the ABC! What a Wally!

Again the likes of shonkyminister are shown to be the legal dills they are! According to shonky Cry Baby was going to take the ABC for millions, now he should pay the ABC's costs!

Hi Paul1405,

I had said "If I were to guess the outcome will likely be Porter will do a deal which will entice the ABC to consider it cheaper to settle than to bash it out in court, no matter the strength of their case."

I was not quite right but the deciding factor would seem to have been the material that Porter's team sought to have suppressed.

It was this order which sealed it I feel:

"No order of the Court in this proceeding prevents the parties from providing unredacted versions of the Defence and Reply to any mediator appointed by the parties in connection with any mediation in the proceeding."

The trial was due to start tomorrow but Porter has pulled the pin. What that material contained must have been pretty damning.

A sixteen year old who looses her virginity to a seventeen year old while drunk, can only claim rape on the violent actions on the occasion of the offense at the time. That years of regret and anxiety etc, only happens in the victims mind and should not be considered as part of the rape case, which the ABC wanted to bring up. These events had nothing to do with Christian Porter. I've met several women raped as teenagers who got on with life to become happily married.

The whole public case based reports by the ABC on teen events 33 years ago in itself was defamation of the present character of Christian Porter, and was not a just trial.

Dear Josephus,

What an utterly un-Christian take on this of the type we have come to expect from you.

Diving straight to victim blaming as always.

It wasn't any anything trial as the trial never started.

So how many virgins do you know who were violently anally raped as their first sexual experience?

Implicit in this statement from you "I've met several women raped as teenagers who got on with life to become happily married." is that the perpetrators should be able to get away with it.

What a pathetic and sexist position to take.

You really are a piece of work aren't you.

Louise Milligan is still considering how to get
the 27 redacted pages of the ABC defence made
public.

"I've met several women raped as teenagers who got on with life to become happily married." Oh have you Proud Boy Jose', you are full of it, a backhanded attempt at mitigation of the rape of young girls.

Too right Steele, maybe one day the deeds of Cry Baby Porter may get a public airing. Hold your nose when it does.

Let hope she can Foxy, in the interest of the public good.

Porter laying on the canvas after the count of ten, is claiming a victory!
