The gift that just keeps giving

These people know that they’ll be cross-examined, right?

ACAB includes these guys. And whoever the fuck Walter Sofronoff is. One collossal match of mudslinging that’s let a perpetrator walk free to do it again in Queensland (allegedly).

The officers claim Mr Drumgold published the letter twice, first by sending it to Mr Gaughan, and secondly by authorising its release under FOI.

Surely there is no fucking way that first point could be considered publishing? A direct communication between two people that is not released to the public and not intended for publication.

You publish your work when you or another authorised person such as your publisher supply reproductions of the work to the public and the work has not been made publicly available before. You communicate your work to the public when you or another authorised person make it available online or electronically transmit it to the public.

The second one would also fairly sketchy right? Something getting released under FOI… no government agency needs more excuses to withhold information . Is there any precedent for that?!

What is it with 2IC Libs assaulting cameraman?

First Barilaro and now Peter Costello, the cunt denies it but there’s clear footage of him speeding up and dropping his shoulder into the cameraman, forcing him backwards into signage and sending him sprawling. Should be sacked by Ch 9.

Assault? He did nothing but walk in a straight line…

I don’t warm to Costello, but the “journalist” is being a massive tool and lost a game of chicken cos he can’t look behind himself. Surely he’s more guilty of harassment than Costello is of assault.

Naive of Costello to give the guy exactly what he wanted though… A reaction and a headline.

See im thinking they were both arseholes. Costello looks to have gone in, but the camera man was doing his best to get in the way and impede him. He’s then followed Costello out continued asking questions, gone back inside to find witnesses, claiming he was “still feeling shaken up”

Would it have been a send-off in an Origin game?

Nah the camera man was clearly falling into it.

Plus it’s not Costello’ s “go”
