Deuce 2.0 ... looks shifty.... would you buy a used story from this man??

"Senator Reynolds said she had initially blamed the Labor Party for the attacks on her but she realised how well prepared Ms Higgins and her now husband David Sharaz's plan was, as the alleged instigators.

"They had a package for the media. They had a package for the Me Too movement. They clearly had a package for disaffected Liberals ... pitching it to them as well."

Why do equal rights for people other than the narrow group you categorise yourself in hurt you so much?

Is a level playing field and a merit-based system where you don't hold an ingrained advanced really scare you so much?

Now then - the the juice without the Deuce as whipping boy......

"Senator Reynolds has begun her final day of evidence in her defamation case against Brittany Higgins.

The senator is suing Ms Higgins and her husband David Sharaz over social media posts the couple shared in 2022 and 2023.

The posts were critical of Senator Reynolds’ handling of Ms Higgins’ allegation she was raped in Parliament House in 2019 by her then-colleague Mr Lehrmann.

He was charged with rape and faced trial in 2022, but the trial was aborted due to juror misconduct.

The charge was dropped and Mr Lehrmann continues to maintain his innocence.

In the Western Australian Supreme Court on Friday, Ms Higgins’ lawyer Rachel Young SC put to the senator that she had brought defamation proceeding against other parties following Ms Higgins’ rape allegations.

Senator Reynolds confirmed to Ms Young that she took action against the ACT because she was concerned about comments made by the Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold.

The senator settled with the ACT for $70,000 plus $20,000.

The senator confirmed she published a Facebook post in March this year about her action against the ACT, detailing the apology and settlement she received.

The post also said she had initiated further defamation action against other parties.

Senator Reynolds confirmed she had also taken action against Harper Collins, author Aaron Patrick, The Spectator and The Independent, that had all been settled.

Senator Reynolds was sobbing as she told the court she carries guilt for privately telling Labor senators what Senator Kimberley Kitching had told her about the anonymous letter.

Senator Kitching had been sent an anonymous letter containing information there had been an incident in Senator Reynolds’ office.

Senator Reynolds had told the court earlier this week that Senator Kitching told her about the letter and that Labor knew about the incident and were going to “rain hell” on her.

But Senator Kitching publicly denied having that conversation with Senator Reynolds, after she privately told Labor senators she knew.

Senator Reynolds said she now wished she had kept her confidence.

“I believe what I said to them caused them to bully her to death, I carry a lot of guilt,” she said.

“I should not have weakened and told them even in private.

“It was very clear how angry she was at me, it wasn’t just tweets, it was in parliament, it was in Question Time.”

Senator Reynolds told the court she believed it had led to Senator Kitching’s death.

Ms Young put to the senator that by privately telling Labor senators about their conversation had ultimately led to bad relationships with her colleagues and her death.

“It did,” Senator Reynolds said.

“It is widely speculated by others I am not the first to come to that conclusion.

“That is when she got angry with me.”

Senator Reynolds on Friday faced intense questioning about whether she knew her staffer had allegedly been sexually assaulted on the night of the security breach involving Mr Lehrmann and Ms Higgins accessing her office after hours.

Ms Young put to the senator that her suspicions must have been raised because Ms Higgins was found undressed and she was intoxicated.

The senator said she was not made aware of a rape allegation or that anything criminal had occurred.

She told the court she had enough experience not to jump to conclusions about what may have happened on that night.

The senator said there were many possibilities about what could have happened, and she was concerned Ms Higgins could not remember.

But she said she was comforted that Ms Higgins was going to see her doctor.

“We were happy to hear she was going to the doctor, because she could not remember,” she said.

“As her employers we are not counsellors but can provide assistance.”

The senator denied inviting Ms Higgins’ father to support her daughter at a meeting because she knew what had happened.

Senator Reynolds explained Ms Higgins was facing the prospect she could lose her job over the security breach, and had concerns about what happened on that night.

She said Ms Higgins was relatively new in her office and she thought it was a good thing to do because she knew her father was in Canberra at the time.

Ms Young asked the senator if she normally invited family members to meetings about security breaches and if she had invited Mr Lerhmann’s mother to his meeting.

Ms Young asked the senator questions about the way she handled the meeting with Ms Higgins after the alleged rape.

Senator Reynolds said there was a wide range of options drunk young people could get up to late at night and she did not jump to conclusions about what may have happened.

She told the court they discussed the security breach first, then she asked Ms Higgins about her memory and what had happened.

Ms Higgins told her she had been drunk, she was sorry and could not remember much, Senator Reynolds said.

She said she asked Ms Higgins if she had the EAP helpline number and mentioned if she did want to talk to the police, Ms Brown could take her there.

... more.... read on...

Hmmm - so at first Ms Higgins could not remember what had happened when interviewed soon after .... but later her memory cleared up.... she had a boyfriend at home wondering WTF she was up to.... she was being interviewed about a breach of security that had cost Deuce his job..... but she didn't remember what had happened when interviewed by her boss.  Suddenly much later it all came clear.... but she didn't even go to the doctor.....

O.....K.....

Jeez - some of you people are suckers..... you'll believe anything.... like Reynolds, I've had enough experience not to jump to conclusions about such things, but to wait on events and on facts...  some of you clowns just leap for the flaming brands, the poor girl position, and the pitchforks and lynching ropes... and join the raving demand for conviction upon accusation for blokes accused of 'rape'.  You sure know how to make life difficult for the real rape victims, don't you?

You should all be ashamed of yourselves... it's arseholes like you who have ruined a man's life and who actually make it hard for genuine complaints to go ahead.

J'accuse!!  Are you going to call Reynolds and witnesses at the interview liars?  Or simply look at the obvious truth.....or will you try on the Bond defence - now the Higgins defence - I don't remember....



Footnote:-  This is all looking bad for Lee and his cave man jurisprudence....  oooga-ooga... all man driven by lust can't control self ... oogga booga... plied her with drinks all night - only one shout on card for group of seven or eight ... ooga booga ..... ah... must have had hidden source of funds then!!          Oooga-booga....

I see the Pubescent Neo-Fascists have all gone to ground now...... I'll tell you what - they can carry on all they like with the sledging, showing that they wouldn't know a fact if it was solid gold and they stubbed their toe on it and with their demands that the State take total control over everyone's lives by setting in place guilt by denunciation/accusation as the rule of the land and law -  but the facts are starting to look awfully bad for The Case.

Reynolds - supported by witnesses - has sunk the rape case.  Do you now call them all liars as your only way out?

After the incredible Lee gaffes this could be the most important case in the history of Australian law - could lead us finally to the long overdue Royal Commission into the judiciary and into jurisprudence - given the 'judiciary's' historical lust for convicting people accused on any pretext - guilt by accusation - as well as their eternal infernal blundering around real cases where real damage is done to real victims.

Also could begin to unravel the filthy labrynth within which political machinations hide in this country and others... how filth and dirt can be created out of nothing and thrown around to destroy people.... an old tradition with the Australian yob who has no real mind... look at Sad Kanga throwing the assertions around without a single support and hoping to score a point by doing so and appealing to the yobness and blood lust of the audience... the mob baying at the gates ....

Meantime the blood lust of the crowd has seen them throwing rotten fruit at Deuce as he's carried in a tumbril to his inevitable execution - their moral superiority doesn't extend to any consideration for the hell he is going through after never being found guilty in a proper court or to any thought that - as Reynolds said - a balanced mind would not jump to conclusions at all, but wait on facts.  And then - when the ' facts' are developed/incubated sufficiently to make a good story to protect and promote the person accusing - out comes the accusation.

In the second 'case' against Deuce - 49 days later.......

All this is the finest argument for NEVER allowing guilt by accusation/denunciation in this country or for allowing accusations with little or no merit to even proceed to a hearing in a biased court immersed in the baying crowds who gather for any such 'event' to push their own barrows (whatever they are) ..... you are warned.

Monty Python missed out in not doing a French Revolution thing:-
