Hi!

Reposting as it was at end of previous thread. After first posting the below found an online 2020 IBAC report into the statement taking issues in the case. Very detailed and hard to see how could convict based on what happened. Sheridan was the senior Detective in the below case as he was in Pell case.

The below article is from Herald Sun. Note the Commissioner Shane Patton praising the work of the Lorimer task force, despite serious criticism from the Judge and the freeing of the accused due to police malpractice (twice). Google Lorimer Task Force and one of the top links relates to the Commission of Inquiry into Lawyer X. A brief description says :

“The Lorimer Taskforce was established by Victoria Police in 1998 to investigate the murders of Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rod Miller. Investigators connected to the Lorimer Taskforce that are relevant to this inquiry included Mr Paul Sheridan, Officer Black (a pseudonym) and Mr Paul Dale”.

One of those three names very familar to me from another major failed investigation. Superintendent Sheridan was the senior officer in the room during the interview of Cardinal Pell in Rome. Some may also recall Shane Patton was in Rome with the two interviewing officers but was not in the room during questioning. Both feature in the lawyer X commission and Patton was Simon Overlands Chief of Staff when he resigned. It was Patton who gave the press conference saying there were multiple “victims” of Pell and there would be multiple charges. This turned out not to be the case and we all remember 7-0.

Article as follows :
Victoria Police sitting on secret internal probe into misconduct relating to investigation of Silk Miller murders.
Victoria Police was summoned to court to explain why it was withholding documents about an internal probe into the Silk-Miller murder investigation.

Victoria Police has been secretly running an internal probe into misconduct relating to the Lorimer taskforce investigation of the Silk-­Miller murders. The internal inquiry was launched in May last year and has produced a 15-page draft report with hundreds of pages of supporting material.

It is understood that an independent review panel has been overseeing the investigation, which could lead to disciplinary hearings. But the plan was not to finalise any report until after Jason Roberts’s ­retrial had ended. The review was prompted by the findings of Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog, the IBAC, which scrutinised the taskforce’s “wrong” statement-making practices during the Silk-Miller murder investigation. The Herald Sun revealed these in 2017.

In an extraordinary Supreme Court hearing on May 9 this year, seven weeks into the retrial of Roberts, Victoria Police was summoned to the court to explain why it had failed to disclose to the prosecution and defence the draft report. By then 13 relevant witnesses had already given evidence at the retrial.
Ironically, the internal police investigation was dubbed “failure to disclose at the first trial’’.

Roberts’ original trial in 2002, at which he was found guilty of the 1998 murders of Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller, was corrupted by police adding, backdating, shredding and ­replacing statements relating to the “dying declaration” of­ ­officer Miller minutes after he was shot on August 16. This “improper” practice led to Roberts’s convictions being quashed and his acquittal after a 3½-month retrial. Roberts walked free from the Supreme Court on Monday.

But seven weeks into his second trial, presiding judge Stephen Kaye was incensed after Victoria Police repeated history by admitting it was withholding documents about its internal probe. “The first trial was found to involve a substantial miscarriage of justice because Victoria Police had failed in the most fundamental obligation to reveal to the prosecution and defence key issues relating to a very significant area of evidence in the case – and they have done it again,” Justice Kaye said. “Yes, I find it quite extraordinary.”

Barrister Andrew Sim, ­appearing for Chief Commissioner Shane Patton, told the court the prosecution and ­defence could not have immediate access to the report as the force was making “public interest immunity” claims. Justice Kaye wanted Mr Patton reminded about what was at stake. “Does the Chief Commissioner understand the significance of the trial that is being heard?” he inquired.

“It involves the death of two decent, proper policemen 24 years ago.”He later added: “I find it breathtaking that Victoria Police should have been engaged in such an extraordinary failure in the system of justice, having already failed the system of justice in this case.”

Mr Sim could only respond: “There’s little I can say in response to that criticism.’’
Adding to Justice Kaye’s anger was the fact Victoria Police had not bothered to turn up to the hearing.
“My anger is a result of the fact there’s already been one substantial miscarriage of justice,” Justice Kaye said. “The case involves an ­appalling tragedy, one which has had to be revisited, ­because of the misconduct of the police at the last trial, and that this is going on again.’’

Justice Kaye also noted that no one from Victoria Police had the “intestinal fortitude” to come to court and explain themselves. He then told Mr Sim his “ire” was not directed at him. “It is very much directed to those who you represent, who, although being invited to court today, have not seen fit to come,” Justice Kaye said. Mr Sim said it was not an intended “insult”.
“It’s not a matter of insult, it’s a matter of inference, Mr Sim,” Justice Kaye said.

He then suggested yet ­another investigation was ­merited “till the police learn their lesson”. The court was adjourned for further discussion three days later, during which it is understood some documents were handed over to the prosecution and defence.

During an emotional press conference on Monday, Chief Commissioner Patton did not hide his “disappointment” at the jury’s verdict hours ­earlier.

Mr Patton also praised the work of the Lorimer taskforce that investigated the Silk-Miller murders. “I take my hat off to the Lorimer taskforce,” he said. Asked whether he had any praise for the work of former homicide detective Ron ­Iddles – who while still a serving officer in 2013 conducted a thorough review of Roberts’s conviction and cast doubt on it – Chief Commissioner Patton said: “No, I won’t say anything in regards to that.”

My repeat, above says “wrong statements practices”. How many statements did the Pell accuser give ?

THE NSC HAS WON ANOTHER LEGAL FIGHT, this time helping a 77 year old pistol shooter who was targetted by the NSW Police registry over allegations made by a Norco store employee in 2021.

It is an outcome that left egg on the face of one of NSWPol’s top cops who rang the NSC to say the shooter would not be getting his licence back.

A good summary of Prince Charlie and #thegreatreset in the speccie’s flat white this morning.

Its a conspiracy until it’s not.

Dilbert 2 is sad because people did it so proudly.

We all knew it was a silly, predictable confection to suit the hour. Rape and childhood – what could be more compelling?

Strangely this real story of rape and childhood wasn’t at all compelling. I saw it in Breitbart London last month when it came out, but it did not get the airplay that the fake story has. I wonder why?

(I’m not giving the headline nor an excerpt, it’s too horrible.)

I wonder will m0nty-fa apologise for his hysterical (in both meanings of the word) reaction to the “Ohio 10 year old needs an abortion” case, now that it has been thoroughly debunked? Silly question! Of course not.

He’s stark staring mad.

Marles calls for nuclear submarines to be made in Australia (13 Jul)

Defence Minister Richard Marles is calling for the new nuclear submarines part of the AUKUS deal to be built in Australia.

Mr Marles said it is important Australia increases its domestic defence manufacturing capabilities.

“I think inevitably we end up building nuclear submarines in Australia,” he told Sky News Australia.

The Australian government can’t build a row boat locally without it being more expensive than Di Caprio’s yacht, let alone a nuclear sub. It’d also be a race between the end of the Universe and the delivery of the first one.

Chuck is as bright as his old man. Not very. QEII is not there for her intelligence and keeps her mouth shut. The male line throughout Europe has never been a strong point and since they are all related the gene pool is pretty shallow. I remember when young seeing people going crazy over the Queens visit. Couldn’t and still can’t see why. I am a Republican at heart but nothing I’ve remotely seen here would want a change. No doubt after Lizzie kicks the bucket I will. NB, not our Lizzie. Anne on the other hand has more than a modicum of sense.

Haha, I think an Express picture editor is going to be in trouble…

Sorry, Farmer Gez

Yep.
He owes the blog an apology for slander.
Useless, gullible parasite.

I think you are being too hard on Monty. A person can’t help it if they are not too bright. He does run a business, create employment and wealth, even though he doesn’t realise how important this is and if his ignorance was allowed to play out, it would only result in cheerful squalor. Except it is playing out.

Wasn’t expecting Arma to turn up in a cartoon…

The VIC DPP didn’t produce new evidence but sought to change details of the prosecution case before the HC to find the missing minutes on which their entire case was based.
It’s bordering on pathetic.

In breaking news, Bunnings sausages are about to increase in price from $2.50 to $3.50 – the first price increase in 15 years.

What VicPol did to Pell was a disgrace.

Which is why Pell should have sued the Victorian government. People who run gotcha schemes and vindictive spiteful prosecutions of societal groups they just don’t like should be punished. It’s a deterrent to others.

The crew live in closely confined, inside cabins. I would expect the viral loads there to be high compared to passengers in balcony staterooms.

They are also expected to wear masks during shifts, adding to the danger (to themselves).

The disproportionate number of infected crew doesn’t surprise me one iota.

Waddya mean “bordering”? It is pathetic.

I remember journalists who followed him on his drive to Sydney after he was released mocking him for wearing gardening clothes.

One of those chase heroes got upset when anti lockdown protesters threw a bag of piss on him.
Perfume to a journo of his quality.

I hadn’t bothered to post this one when it came out a few days ago, but it’s topical.

Huge Israeli study disproves link between COVID & heart inflammation (Arutz Sheva, 10 Jul)

The retrospective cohort study compared a group of almost 200 thousand people who had been infected with COVID, with a matched control group of almost 600 thousand people, following them between March of 2020 and January of 2021 (to eliminate any effect produced by vaccination).

Nine post-COVID patients developed myocarditis (0.0046%) and eleven developed pericarditis (0.0056%). In the control group, 27 patients developed myocarditis (0.0046%) and 52 developed pericarditis (0.0088%).

The researchers concluded that, “Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with either myocarditis or pericarditis.”

In other words just about all the heart inflammation is due to the vaccine not the actual disease. And it’s more evidence that the vaccine is actually worse than the disease except for people over the age of about 70, where it might become a worthwhile, if quite significant, risk.

Buffets are basically food socialism.

That’s a keeper.

Even more reason to use the dining room and be waited on hand and foot.

The ACT Government says it’s confident it can find a construction company to build Strathnairn School with a 100 per cent female management team and women employed by every trade subcontractor.

Given the gender imbalance in the teaching profession, may I suggest that if the school is ever built it is staffed by 100% male teachers.

Many years ago, a woman (Can I presume her gender after all these years?) Liars pollie in the ACT was waxing eloquent about the need for some “affirmative action” to increase the number of wymminses in engineering and construction. In response I wrote a sarcastic letter to the local rag, suggesting that similar action to increase the proportion of male teachers should also be considered.

It got the response that might be expected.

SAN PEDRO HUAMELULA, Mexico, June 30 (Reuters) – A small town Mexican mayor married his alligator bride in a colorful ceremony as traditional music rang out and revelers danced while imploring the indigenous leader to seal the nuptials with a kiss.

San Pedro Huamelula Mayor Victor Hugo Sosa obliged more than once during Thursday’s wedding, bending down to plant his lips on the small alligator’s snout, which had been tied shut presumably to avoid unwanted biting.

The ritual marriage likely dates back centuries to pre-Hispanic times among Oaxaca state’s Chontal and Huave indigenous communities, like a prayer pleading for nature’s bounty.

Looks like notafan is taking over from Struth but from the other direction.
At least, she is not as verbose. thank God.

Just another brain dead idiot.

New study: COVID booster significantly delays end of infection (Israel National News, 10 Jul)

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has demonstrated that people who are triple-vaccinated (boosted) against COVID recover significantly more slowly from COVID infection and remain contagious for longer than people who are not vaccinated at all.
…
Even more strikingly, at ten days post-infection, one-third of boosted people (31 percent) were found to still be carrying live, culturable virus. By contrast, just six percent of unvaccinated people were still contagious at day 10.

In other words, people who have received a booster shot are five times more likely still to be contagious at ten days post-infection than are unvaccinated people.

Be interesting to know if there’s a similar relationship for long covid, which seems plausible in light of this data.

Laura Jayes on Sky now on

Laura Jayes was a Gillard surrogate.
Just like Alan Ramsey was for Keating before they fell out.
And like Peter Hartcher was for Rudd.

Dover what did they hit?
What’s the speculation?

Also, in the FT overnight there was an article on the EU complaining about weapons from Ukraine ending up in other countries.
It’s paywalled.
I am surprised the FT would publish this as it is contrary to the narrative.

These people should have paid attention to those lyrics. One of them is that the lady in Life in the Fast Lane wanted “everything, all the time”:

Three men, including a curator for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, were charged on Tuesday over allegedly possessing a trove of stolen handwritten notes and lyrics by the Eagles’ co-founder Don Henley, with New York officials estimating the documents are worth more than $1 million.

Henley has been trying to recover the manuscripts for years after the documents were allegedly stolen in the 1970s by an unnamed biographer, who pawned them off to Horowitz in 2005, according to officials.

Rolling Stone, with the perps in handcuffs in court

I forgot to mention yesterday, Southern also showed a snippet of Laura Loomer dumping on her.

Bern, I don’t regard Lauren Southern as a journalist. Before her recent retirement to have children, she was a conservative activist.

Good journalism and activism don’t mix. As soon as you start peddling ideology or backing political candidates, you lose your ability to think and evaluate independently.
