This unholy alliance between scumbag pollies and the media was always bound to backfire. The NSW Attorney General thinks nothing of stating in the media that crime is down because of his strict anti-bail conditions. In other words ,even though these accused people in jail stlll haven’t faced a court they are guilty according to him without a trial. These tactics build over time and work-the mere allegation is now taken as proved. At the same time these polticians are on a permanent quest to undermine NSW’s superb and honest DPP because he won’t play their game.

And why did a man accused of child sex offences have to appear in court today handcuffed ? Not even the most dangerous accused appear in court this way.

Meanwhile-while these gung-ho police who think they are protecting children-while these disgusting politicians who are utterely ignorant of the Westminster system play their vile and cheap policitcs-according to DOCs 200,000 kids in NSW alone are abused through neglect, mental and physical, and sexually by someone in their home. And they are forgotten.

I’ve no idea what’s happened, because it was only yesterday that the Herald Sun was plastering his pixellated visage over the front page and talking about how much of an “oddball” he was.

believe Barnes is a barrister and perhaps has sat in a court-as I have. The police beat up claims and often add charges that are later dropped.

Just as they have over the emerging Knox School scandal where they have been “appealling” for more victims to come forward-just as Channel Ten disgracefuly said in their 5pm news broadcast a moment ago that “the police expect more victims”..note : not “alleged victims.”

This proces is called “trawling” and has been thoroughly discredited in the UK after dozens of innocent social workers were jailed for offences but later exonerated (but their lives ruined). The UK police are now banned from the process. It’s what led to the ludicrous tale of the dozens of buried childrens bodies on the at Haute le Guerre on Jersey-just a year ago but now forgotten.

It was garbage from the word go but the world’s media revelled in it and faithfully repeated every bogus piece of information given to them by the police (but never apologised to the public for the lies)

But the blame should lie with the usual scoundrels-politicians who are devoid of policy and put pressure on police to prduce results-whatever way they can. Thes epoliciticians take an oath to uphold the Australian Constitution which involves the seperation of powers and ignore it.

ps: the fact police mention the ample compensation available to potential “victims” is entirely co-incidental.

The cops do regularly provide media with information, but blaming them for the breaching of the suppression order relating to Brendan Sokaluk is misguided, simplistic and unfounded. The media are subject to the order to simply not publish Sokaluk’s name, but they couldn’t help themselves. The money made from the sale of papers outweighs the cost of a contempt charge and probable fine.
