Agree. He hasn’t been convicted criminally for the first rape charge and he’s not going to jail (yet). But this civil case means we can safely dispense with “alleged”. Not that he’s going to have much spare cash left after paying everyone’s costs, but he’s gonna have to pay for his own coke and hand jobs now too.

[Webster]

But this civil case means we can safely dispense with “alleged”.

I don't agree with this at all. Completely different set of assumptions.

[Ron Burgundy]

He’s welcome to sue me for defamation for calling him a rapist.

[WBennett]

He’s welcome to sue me for defamation for calling him a rapist.

The justice believes that's the case. He did not use alleged.Seeing as the first trial was aborted for juror misconduct, Lehrman has brought this upon himself.As my female friend who met him at APH told me years ago, he was a sexual predator. A Judge confirmed that today.

[Dotty]

This supports my opinion that 12 inexperienced (in law matters) random citizens should not be relied on to decide an alleged criminal's guilt or innocence.

Surely you are suggesting 12 solicitors is the answer, if you are, you haven't met enough of them.

Only if they get paid the current juror's daily allowance.

That will speed up the decision making process and reduce the backlog of cases to be heard.

I think the jury's still out on that one (I've been waiting years to use that).

I'm quite uncomfortable with the conclusion that a plaintiff is so arrogant they will sue for defamation regarding an allegation that was actually true. The same concern applies to the Ben Roberts-Smith case. I seriously wonder about the quality of the legal advice provided to the plaintiff in both instances.

But Mr Lehmann is a golfer! Who knew? I'd certainly be carrying a rule book with me if ever playing a game with him.

You're just asking to be sued. Just because he is a rapist, doesn't mean he cheats at golf.

Watch those mushrooms!

[Sookie1]

As someone who has just started taking the train to work to save some money this will be fantastic. Go from $120 a week in fuel to $48 a week on the train to $5 a week that's a big saving. Trains not for everyone but I think they will be a bit busier come August.

Only for 6 months... is there an election coming?

[3Puttpete]

Is it 25c for me?

Whats the point of a concession Go card if it’s no good to me?

[markTHEblake]

You dont get a concession card because you are a retarded putter.

Apparently you do

[Sookie1]

I couldn't give a shit. If it means I only pay $5 a week for transport.

[markTHEblake]

I couldn't give a shit.

Good. I hope that means you wont vote for those bumbags.

[goughy]

BL is appealing his defo case result, and apparently will represent himself....

Just another day.......

[markTHEblake]

The welcome to country will fix that

[BrisVegas]

Biden has just called Karmala Harris "Vice President Trump" during the press conference just now.

[goughy]

And earlier during the day, during a speech at NATO, he introduced Ukranian president Putin, twice, before correcting himself.
There's some belief that gaff was why the press conference was delayed so much. It was his first press conference in 8 months without any assistance and was expected as a gauge on whether more democrats were going to publicly press for him standing down.

[3Puttpete]

The delay was more likely his staff preparing answers to questions they knew were coming.

He began the q and a by saying he had a list of names to call on to ask questions.

[goughy]

I thought he might have needed a little nap?

[markTHEblake]

Whats with the sudden preoccupation with Bidens mental faculties? He has been this way for 4 years.
