As is often the case, the truth takes a while to catch up
The appeal judges found that Lisa Wilkinson acted properly in terms of the extensive inquiries she made and the information she relied on
Lisa always acted appropriately
The judges disagreed with Justice Lee who had asserted the opposite

I've just finished reading the judgment in the Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court and a few points really stuck out - apart from the fact that the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was an absolute fabrication.
Lisa Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment

Hi @bsky.app
If you want this to be a global platform, how about trending topics reflecting the other 96% of the world's population?
The domination of this site by American news and American topics is one of its greatest drawbacks
Hell, even old Elon manages to get this right

I doubt very much his visa was cancelled purely for "attending a legal protest". His behaviour online and elsewhere has also been abhorrent
When he applied for his visa, he agreed to abide by certain terms and conditions, just like any contract
He breached his contract
That's on him and him only

The person apologising for failing to pass on the Sydney neo-Nazi rally protest information is the Deputy NSW Police Commisioner.
He was recently the acting NSW Police Commissioner and applied for the top job.
But 3 months ago he was passed over for the Commissioner's job.
Yes, indeed 😎

The original March for Humanity on the harbour bridge in Sydney was planned for Sun Aug 3, 2025
After the Minns govt took the protest orgs to the NSW Supreme Court, it was held on Sun Aug 31, 2025
But please let's hear again about weekend dates not registering as an issue for the Minns govt

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019
It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .

Apart from leaking to the SMH and the Age like a rusty colander, this would have to be the most tiresome little man in the Australian public service
Hyperbolic, publicity mad, sinophobic, constantly beating his own drum when absolutely nobody has asked - don't ever get between him and a headline

Today my debut novel #Gunnawah officially became the Number 1 best seller
That means I'll get a private jet, and a 10 year supply of Grey Goose and Tim Tams, and a marching team of cartwheeling dachshunds and . . . . .

No media about this?
NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences
The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas

It truly is a sign of how desperate Sussan Ley is - how she must be plumbing the depths of her handbag looking for inspiration - that she's clutching her plastic bangles about a 70's pop group on a t-shirt

Has Jillian Segal come out in support of her boss, Anthony Albanese yet?
This would be the time for her to say something.
Of course that's only if her actual boss - Israel - gives her the all clear.
