Me in Independent Australia. ‘Academic John Passant has been subjected to vile threats after writing about a recent demonstration against education cuts — and has traced some of them back to Victoria Police.’ http://www.independentaustralia.net/life/life-display/victoria-police-threaten-academic,5857

Given Campbell Newman’s public direction to judges to harden the fuckup (or words to that effect) why isn’t he in the slammer for contempt of court? No trial necessary, just a decision by a judge that he is in contempt and off he goes for a few days or weeks or months in jail. No trial, no jury, no evidence. Sort of doing a Newman to Newman.
