There was a case here just the other day where the judge dismissed the trial of a bloke on a murder charge. It was a road rage related incident that happened some years back and the accused was charged several years after the incident. The prosecutors submitted to the court that they had no evidence. I couldn't imagine they would have laid charges with absolutely no evidence in the first place. My best guess is that what evidence they had eventually turned out to be unreliable or unusable in some way and they didn't have enough to proceed.

I disagree with Andrew Hastie on just about everything, but he's dead right when he calls Hanson a coward. She is a disgusting individual and has truly pulled the wool over her sheepish follower's eyes.

Those witnesses were required to Testify under oath. Hanson has no ethics. She dishes it out but has a glass Jaw.. She wants his WA seat. Nev

I can not forsee that the prosecution will have insufficient evidence to bring the charges- which they have and have a reasonable prospect of conviction. Lots of witnesses including soldiers he served with had made statements of witnessing the crimes with their own eyes. These include some who stated they were involved in the crimes on his orders. Also numerous civillains witnesses are included in the case from the defamation trial. Will the trial be messy? yes. Will the defence be incredibly well funded? extremely. Remember the crown does not have to have a case they see as air tight- just sufficient that a conviction is likely if the evidence is presented to a jury. No amount of chest beating by rich media owners and keyboard warriors will change this. BRS is on a civilian standard a war criminal and unable to sue if called this. If his prosecution is successful, will be a convicted War criminal for multiple murders. Meanwhile that RED head drongo has called Hastie and by reference any soldier who testified as cowards for daring to do their sworn duty. Such people as Hansen are indeed are danger to our country and the rule of law.

That is the taskthe Crown must complete in order to gain a conviction. There's manyu an offender who has not been prosecuted because the Crown says, "We know you done it, but we can't connect all the dots to prove to a jury, without allowing for an alternative, but reasonable, explanation of the evidence the Crown has gathered.

You can call me 'chicken little' but I think the tiger is out of it's cage. If A.I. prioritises it's own benefit and does something unpleasant, is there any way to 'reboot to an earlier version' without losing all our data? Guardian article:- "The UN panel, investigating that attack, warned “the traditional method of safeguarding is unravelling” as AI agents act autonomously to breach protections. “The default interpretation and immediate lesson is that basic cybersecurity practices were overlooked, and safeguards are not advancing at the pace of capabilities. The more insidious and grave concern is that current training methods can lead agents to adopt goals of their own, knowingly violate safety instructions, and conceal their actions.”

Most of what I have seen in the "media" landscape are those that are arguing he should not be prosecuted.. for no other reason than.. just because. Through his lost defamation cases, the judges effectively found that on the balance of probability (not beyond reasonable doubt), he DID commit war crimes. The defence used justification - which is more likely true than not. Now, if a judge found the defence of justification valid because after all the evidence provided under strict rules and, as BRS was funded quite handsomely, probably the best barristers around to test that evidence, I would suggest that those people abjectly saying he shouldn't be further investigated to determine if he in fact did commit war crimes beyond reasonable doubt and, if so, should be held accountable, are indeed themselves dangerous to our society of freedom, democracy, and fairness. The prosecution, on analysing the evidence may decide there is not enough proof to bring it to court. That is OK.. that would, IMHO, as long as the prosecution acted in good faith, also be an acceptance it can't be proved and therefore, it is justified to stop any further action (unless something turns up).

There's Practically NO servicing needed on a Pure electric car. That "means something" in the Overall Picture.. In a Hybrid, the IC motor gets a fairly hard time. Fuel must be clean and not stale. The car must be electrically alive to run at all. ie start the IC motor. They are inevitably more expensive than a pure ICE vehicle OR an EV. At 8 years most batteries are still 95 % and can be used as storage for Houses etc for years after.. Geely make "straight" EVs. A mate of mine just bought one. Available range is Increasing all the time.. The "early" Prius (Hybrid) were a pile of trouble. The Hondas would hold up semi's on hills . IF you are Just trying to save Money stick to a reliable Older ICE car that you enjoy driving while there's still fuel available and save the expense of any newer stuff which will go on Improving all the time, the longer you wait.

What you are doing is part of trial by Media. Nev

I haven't seen any trial by media or lynch mob for the Bondi shooter, nothing like BRS gets, he cops it all.

We don't (have to) import electricity. Unless it's produced by diesel generators. Diesel and Petrol cannot be assured. We are not self sufficient. No fuel. No go at all. No matter how efficient it is. Nev

Who knows? Things change daily. What it means though, starting with a full tank and charge, you could drive Melbourne to Sydney and back to Canberra without a refill. Range anxiety quashed.

You still NEED Hydrocarbon fuel for this and can that be assured in today's world.? Nev

Better than trial by Media or a Lynch mob.. Nev

Correct.

I see the surgeon this afternoon to check on the incision. I have slept sitting up in an armchair for the past 5 nights to aviod rolling over onto it. I see the Cochlear care centre on 5/10 when I expect to get the external sound processor. Then 5 consultations to help train the brain to the new sounds. They are different to what your ear hears, but they say it is a great improvement. I have no hearing at all in my left ear.

Bail refused. Kept on Remand until the Trial has been completed. It takes a long time for such very serious cases to come to Trial. Two years from time of charging would be quick. Witht eh number of charges involved it will take a long time for the evidence to be collated in a format that can be placed before the Court. The wheels of Justice grind slow, but fine.

Hey Peter, how's your new brain interface coming along? I hope you are getting the plugin memery module to go with it. I'd love to get one of those! Was thinking of your medical pathway today - while I was sliding in and out of the CT machine. I just had a epidural pain block - these days they go to a lot more trouble to get the needle into the right spot! Now I do a pain log for a month to see if steroids help. Aint tech great!

Yeah well it's no speedy trial, is it? The longer it takes, the more that will be entered into it. It's basic human nature. What happened to that Bondi shooter? Has he been given a false name and allowed to live on the other side of Australia with the ISIS brides? I don't think he'll ever be tried.

That's a bit of a cop-out. This is being dealt with by the Courts, currently. You Post it, you own it.. I would suggest caution. Nev

He"owns " everything. He Listens to No One but Tries to blame everyone else, when it goes to $#!t. He Da King, so the Buck stops with HIM. Nev
