The common law principle standing behind champerty is very old: the law is public, and litigants should be willing to put their names to actions. If they are unwilling to do this, then prima facie they are unwilling to face the judicial process while expecting their opponents to do so.

Besides the few people who have already been fired (such as the few people rounded up the for Your Rights At Work campaign) who is actually at risk of losing their job, as opposed to just perceiving this?

What people know for sure is they have cradle to the grave high personal income taxes here, which cut in very early.

For a very long time, we had a brain drain due to high taxation of personal income. Taxes are still the same for high income earners.

Interestingly, Hanson herself disliked the white power loons who projected their antipathy towards the world in general and minorities in particular onto her, and one of the reasons for ONP’s odd structure was to keep them out of the organisation.

No, Abbott behaved very badly, and there is no excuse for his behaviour, although he was aided by other individuals and bodies - of which the DPP was one.

If evidence is made up or is tempered with then someone must be held responsible. Mistakes are one thing, but malicious intent is another.

I agree that Hanson broke the spell of insipid politically correct sanctimony and that her right to free speech must be insisted on by all.

Like what she says or lump it.

Likewise, people who wish to mercilessly ridicule her views - including her antediluvian economic claptrap - should feel free to get stuck in and not go easy because she’s the bonza brave bird of Margo Kingston’s imagination.

I don’t quite understand why he has not been sued and/or prosecuted for perverting the course of justice.

Yeah that was nasty stuff wasn’t it.

But you know. I think if he knew the outrageous outcome of this action I doubt that he would have gone through with it.

I don’t make it that he’s like that really.

Good stuff.

Good to see that she didn’t let these commie-witch-hunters stop her from going back into politics.

Imagine actually putting this woman in prison.

They’d do it to all of us if they could no doubt.

Perversely I think her influence has done brilliant things for this country. Not that her ideas had all that merit in and of themselves. But the reaction too them in the main parties to neutralise her seemed to break the multi-culti spell.

And now, because of this, we are a mentally freer country then places like France, Britain or even many Blue-State areas of the States.

This multi-culti business was a real nasty piece of work. Very hard to tie down but a real killer.

“I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life’s knocks.”

Should be a ripping yarn, eh.
