He could take a  picture of a bruise on his leg from another time he got drunk and fell over.

Yep, saw that, he just plain gave up the chase.

So tomorrow, I can walk into a room with my just my boss after hours and a week or so later, say she raped me and that's it? Sweet, might give it a crack and see what I can get. Might even see if I can get Justice Lee oversee proceedings.

They kicked 16-4 which is crazy accurate.
The 2 weeks prior they scored 8-15 and 4-10.

I'm not sure whether there's a transcript of the Judge's decision online yet, but he addresses all these issues.
(State of inebriation, activity at the bar, the entrance to Parliament). He goes into specific detail as to why he gives weight to some aspects and little weight to others.

DJC posts in a General "Discussion" thread about the findings of the trial and then pulls the old "Your opinion is not worth anything".

I think you have misunderstood my position.  I don't believe ms Higgins was anywhere near as inebriated as people are insinuating.  I think she and he ended up doing something that they were dismissed for, and have been in reputation fix mode ever since.  Her way to get around that, was to sling mud somewhere else, it has stuck, because he is a potato and was already covered in dirt.

Well I've followed this thread pretty closely and can't find anyone saying, 'One does not pash...' Even in this old bloke's day, we did plenty of 'pashing' at the disco, some times with a few different gals, but that did not signal, 'She wants a r**t.'

But from what you're saying MBB (& 3 Leos), if a person is three sheets to the wind, they're fair game, regardless of what they might say if sober. To moi this is not so much a legal issue but in fact goes far deeper than that... beyond the 'law.'

I must be quaintly old fashioned, but I think not. Simply put, and perhaps it was my upbringing, if a woman is drunk you look after her and protect her from sexual predators. And I have done this, as a young fella (and just as horny as the next) through to present day. In fact I find men who prey on drunk people to be cowardly and predatory. And this attitude is not righteousness (though to a predator it would seem so), it's just common bloody decency and a basic male responsibility. That drunk woman could be your mother, sister or daughter... how would you like the men around her to behave?

I saw the footage of Higgins walking through security with lehrmann.  Neither of them were 3 sheets to the wind.

Either there are some serious drugs and alcohol consumed on arrival or the giggling half running into the building Higginsis much better at retaining her composure under the influence than I am.

I dont need a judge to tell me what that footage showed and that was two people who knew exactly what they were getting up to.

Did Justice Lee come to this conclusion based on his vast experience on the current nightclub/ bar hopping scene?

I think old folk who say things like "One does not
pash"  are completely out of touch with the current climate.

"Escaped the Lion's Den and went back for his hat"

If he is in fact a 'tool', he's not the sharpest one in the shed.

Yeah I call BS on her being passed out blackout drunk.  I think they both knew what they were going back to the office for.

Hurstbridge / Mernda ??

She was pashing him in the bar and then went back with him to do some paperwork lol.

They're both liars.
