if anyone asks me to comment on a certain court case- you can go fuck yourselves (getting in ahead of time).
I observe court orders despite a vicious media campaign- which has worked - to circumvent one.
It examples how the media, now aided by the internet has garnered even more power and used it to demolish people.( as JK knows with a failed vicious recent attempt to attack his freedom)
Around three weeks ago a once respected Aust newspaper chain ( Fairfax ) ran a seemingly co-ordinated attack with The Guardian (using a writer who contributes to both) on Aust Defamation Laws.
Fairfax are currently fighting libel trials, and have lost 2 recently in spectacular fashion. This was such blatantly self serving nonsense yet the Legal Fraternity remained silent.
Not one single outlet has even mentioned Lord Leveson's visit to Australia( I went to his speech) where he re-iterated the uncontrolled power of the media to decimate it's chosen victims and that Australia (and Britain) should have Libel Tribunals that the ordinary waged public can access seeing libel laws only benefit the rich.
