Thank you Hedda for breaking this fabulous news on here; best news since the Carl Beech verdict. A real blow to the False Allegations Industry. Showing the true areas of corruption - Police and Media, hand in hand, assisted by bent lawyers and gullible jurors or judges.
I quote from 1984 by a friend of my father's... The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.
Do read this; someone dares put his head above the parapet and point the finger at the Media whose quest for "a good story" is partly responsible for the thousands of false allegations and wrongful convictions.

God you are a genius at times.
That is so apt.
The hatred today against the High Court ruling is unbelievable.
And not just the Nutter Brigade but the commentariat are beyond vicious. They had so much invested in Pell's convictions.
It couldn't have come at a better time. The media is infected by Covid-19 and is on a death spiral. I shouldn't indulge in schadenfreude BUT I AM !!
