this one concerns a popular MP in Queensland who found himself in jail for 12 years after a 'recovered memory" where he was supposed to have as "a young man in his twenties, at a one teacher school Bill D'Arcy raped an eight year old girl in front of a whole class of approx.20 pupils sitting 3 to 12 feet away from the teacher's desk."

Not one witness was produced at the time-no student had any memory of the alleged act and it happened 37 years ago.

I rememeber at the time it was one of the worst media demolitions done on a person before he got to trial. And as for the QLD police-well they are notorious as one of the most corruptable in the western world.

Significantly the victim tried to sue the ex-MP for $250,000 yet the judge threw the case out as she wasn't a reliable witness.

This comes on top of the recent Victorian state MP who was found not guilty of raping a woman in his Parliamentary office. It cost him his ministerial career-probably his seat and a million bucks in legal fees.

The magistrate ruled the woman was a serial liar-her penalty-she's sold her story to a tabloid TV show.

Accuse someone of a sex crime and it's like winning the pools.

The have started to convict a few false accusers in the UK, but I'm sure there is a reluctance to admit that the state has been an accessory to very many wrongful convictions and so we only see a small trickle of acknowledgment every now and then. When the media 'uncovers' this major story they soon get distracted by some celebrity gossip and it all gets buried again under trivia.

It's actually quite shameful. The media know it's shameful. The government know it's shameful. Unfortunately the UK has become quite an ostrich farm.
