Another fine example of our corrupt justice system

This has been going on for decades.

My understanding is if you are convicted of an indictable offence you cannot sit in the Parliament. That's the reason nothing happened here - there would have to be another appointment.

Here's a fairy tale. Once upon a time there was an ambitious person found guilty of an indictable offence. The judge never handed down a verdict - the person later became a State Premier. The case could not be referred to by the Press as the person was never "convicted". He sure looked after his mates, and others mates as well! And they all lived happily everafter.

This isnt the sort of thing I would normally put forward but maybe what is needed is for every judge in the country to have their house burgled, their volvo keyed and their wife mugged by a junkie - preferably all in the one week.

Judges seem to have lost all connection with the real world having lived the high life as solicitors and barristers all their working life making big dollars. If that idea doesnt take then they should be made to go for a ride along with the police and see how they behave before they get to the court room.

Then we have Mokbel caught with his fingers in the cookie jar and pleads guilty ( because he is) , now because of a stuff up, he all of a sudden changes his plee to not guilty, just to use a loop hole, either way he is still scum

You forgot to add in famous. Doc Neeson from the Angels recently fronted court for his fourth drink driving, nearly three times the legal limit. He did not get off scot free but was spared a gaol sentence because of who he is.

The magistrate actually said something along the the lines of "This would normally be a gaol sentence, but because of your contribution to society you will be spared"

One of us and we would have done time for sure.

....damn shame we did away with the cat-o-nine tails, that tends to get their attention

Our judicial system may be inequitable at times; and not as open as it could be, but that does not make it corrupt. And maybe those that don't like it could bugger off back to England, or where ever they have come from, and leave God’s own country for those that appreciate it for what it is, faults and all. Or they might like to try making the place better, but I guess that is not as easy as whinging.

Karl, what brew you just have, a mug of coffee with triple caffeine and Tia Maria ? :D

One thing that people have to realize is that is is not the "Court of Justice" it is the "Court of Law"
Perhaps in this case the victim (the security guard) have the right to appeal, but then again that cost money :(
