But isn't he from the big smoke, burning sugar cane I suspect, Bundaberg?

Hmm ...

I suppose she's going to concentrate on The Brittany Show and The Republican Program ...

Amazing - how some condemn Lehrmann for not offering evidence, yet ignore the facts that repeatedly parts of the accuser's evidence was shown to be misleading, to say the least, as stated prior to the trial...

........ coming this week on GrapplerVid .................Sherlock Holmes in:- The Case of The Missing Undies, The Case of the Unwashed Dress Under The Bed,, The Case of Confusion After The Eleventh Drink Plus, The Case Of the Missing Doctor's Appointments and the box office blockbuster - Death Of the Timely Report ........ next week we present the world premiere of Fear and Loathing in Canberra's Spaces ...... a nightmare journey to the heart of the national nightmare ...........

I suppose now Aussie will add this to his litany of why he considers Lehrmann guilty, even though such evidence is as inadmissible as a woman's past sexual encounters....

Gets better every day .... this one .....

I reckon he's guilty because he's a developing greaser beachball and an arrogant and over-rated prick (Roddy Ho from 'Slow Horses' in the Canberra medium) as ugly as a hat full of arseholes and who's been spoon fed too much for too little real talent..... oh - and he has squinty eyes....

That oughta do it .....

Now - where's that rubber stamp set aside for cases of allegation of sexual assault?

Ok. Fair comment.

So what does the anecdote of a long-established LOCAL have to do with the ages old thing of 'moving blokes without jobs along'?  You do see there is zero comparison between your egg sucking and real egg sucking, don't you?

Chalk and cheese.

And don't try to tell me that in the Deep North that didn't happen, and in some places still does.  Would you like to try again?

Tell me the tale of some new bloke in town, indigent and maybe Indigenous as well... and how he would be treated..... would you even know until he appeared in court on The Aboriginal Trifecta, when, of course, by your standards and your magistrate's, he had to be guilty already as charged?  Would you have any idea at all of what actually happened, given the court's propensity to believe that somehow, mysteriously, he decided out of the blue to attack two or more police?  Of course, everyone in those places goes out of his way to fight the cops at every opportunity and cop prison and a ruined life via being a 'criminal' with serious convictions, even when he's never lifted a finger in the past to anyone ... FFS, Aussie.

Your mates the Indigenous were the worst treated, and sometimes still are, and until it becomes mandatory that FACTS and not assertions must be the rule for any conviction, that will continue, and in Redneck towns will remain the prime way of 'moving people along' like some Redneck hangover from The Great Depression.

'vagrancy charges'....            .. that old worn-out antiquated thing... we're talking about a different type.. YOUR bloke is a Local, not some Outlander ... and there is NO 'vagrancy' nowadays and hasn't been for a long time since everyone has some form of income.

They don't call it The Deep North for nothing.....

According to this article: https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/sexual-assault-charge-agains... it is because Higgins mental health is at risk. This seems a very convenient excuse to cover the total clusterfcuk this circus has become.

It would be great if the accused was able to sue the crap out of certain members of the media.

“In light of the compelling medical opinions and balancing all factors, I’ve made the difficult decision that it is no longer in the public interest to pursue prosecution with the risk to the complainant’s life.”

Mr Drumgold confirmed he had filed a notice declining to proceed with the retrial.

He said that during the investigation and trial, Ms Higgins had faced a level of personal attack “that I’ve not seen in over 20 years of doing this”.

“She’s done so with bravery, grace and dignity,” he said.

Mr Drumgold said he believed there was a “reasonable possibility” of conviction when he first examined the evidence in June 2020.

“This is a view I still hold today,” he said.

Ms Higgins’ friend Emma Webster said she was receiving treatment in hospital and would not be providing a statement.

Speaking on Ms Higgins’ behalf, Ms Webster said it was disappointing how the trial had ended but her friend’s health had to come first.

“Brittany is in hospital getting the treatment and support she needs,” said Ms Webster.

“The last couple of years have been difficult and unrelenting.

“While it’s disappointing the trial has ended this way, Brittany’s health and safety must always come first.

“Brittany is extremely grateful for all the support she has received, particularly from our mental health care workers.”

A secret application regarding the trial was due to be heard this morning but by yesterday had been removed from the daily court list.

Mr Lehrmann’s defence told the Australian they were still “working through” the developments and Mr Drumgold’s statement.

After his arrest Mr Lehrmann had told police the case had “rocked my world” and driven him to contemplate suicide.

The original trial, before ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum, was aborted in October due to juror misconduct.

Chief Justice McCallum said one of the jury member had brought documents on the topic of sexual assault claims into the jury room, despite explicit instructions not to conduct research outside the trial.

The matter was immediately set down for retrial on February 20.

Ms Higgins alleged that Mr Lehrmann raped her in a senior minister’s office at Parliament House in the early hours of March 23, 2019.

The 27-year-old alleged the assault occurred in the office of her boss at the time, then-defence industry minister Linda Reynolds, after a night out drinking with colleagues in Canberra shortly before the 2019 election.

In February 2021 Ms Higgins went public with her allegations, telling media outlets that she had “woke up mid-rape essentially” on the minister’s couch sometime after security guards had let the pair into the building.

After going public, Ms Higgins made a formal complaint to police and called for the alleged perpetrator to “face the full force of the law”.

Mr Lehrmann was last year charged with “sexual intercourse with Brittany Higgins, without her consent, and [that he] was reckless as to whether she had consented”.

Mr Lehrmann, who was facing 12 years in jail, has always denied that any form of sexual activity took place at all.
