Slippery Pete

You've yet to point what part of the judgement is factually wrong or any errors of law. I assume you are incapable of doing so.

The fish are biteing well today.

Not judgement. Opinions. Opinions are often wrong. As yours are, despite your great legal brain.

Knobby's contribution. Banco's ventriloquist doll.

Yes, good point.
Calliope, show us where you believe the judge erred in his judgement and so on what basis the appeal can take place.

And the third Roxon/Rares luvvie chips with the admission that it's the luck of the draw and the statement that "Slipper is a pretty seedy sort of guy." Well who'd have guessed it.

Don't put words in my mouth, thanks.

All your posts are so ridiculously anti-everything that isn't Liberal, I'm wondering, do they pay you by the word or by the post?

These were your words;

"So pretty much every civil case hinges on one man or woman's decision."

i.e. the luck of the draw. This case hinged on a Roxon/Rares decision. A conservative judge - a rare beast in the Federal Court - may not have thrown out the case.

Please don't follow Gillard into the gutter.
 
These were your words;

And there's a process. It's not just Judge Smith waking up and saying "Oh today will be a guilty day". If it was merely "luck of the draw" then why aren't there far more people appealing cases successfully?

People in glass houses...

That's an easy one. Because it is too costly. If you lose the appeal you will be bankrupt. Justice doesn't come cheap.

So then how do you explain the high number of unsuccessful appeals? If what you say is true, then it only seems logical that one wouldn't appeal unless they thought they had a sure thing. And yet the success rate for civil case appeals is around 15%.

If you're in court, then you have money. Otherwise you settle way before that time.
 
Could someone enlighten me.

If Slippery runs again for parliament in the upcoming Election in March 2013 and loses does he get a bigger pension/payout than if he doesn't run?

I will bet pounds to peanuts , Labor will not be endorsing him so he would have to stand as an independant.

He is an Independent. Has never been recognised as a member of the Labor Party.
I can't imagine that he will risk further humiliation by standing and being thoroughly trounced in the next election.
If I were as mortally wounded as is Slipper, I'd be leaving the country.
 

I believe if he runs, even if he gets only one vote, he may get a bigger payout.

On his form he may be tempted to run as an independent.

Many other politicians have done this.

Phil Coorey, a Fairfax, Labor leaning hack journalist says;

Federal Labor believes it can take back Peter Slipper’s Queensland electorate of Fisher following the Federal Court ruling which criticised the Coalition candidate for the seat, Mal Brough.

Senior minister Anthony Albanese visited the seat on Tuesday along with the ALP candidate, Bill Gissane, to capitalise on the court judgment, which criticised Mr Brough as being a party to an abuse of legal process for political purposes.

There is no doubt, it is the silly season, and Albanese if the performing clown.
 
He hasn't even got leave to appeal yet you fool.

You obviously have not read the link you fool, as it refers to Ashby taking the sexual harrassment case to Fair Work Austrlia.

The appeal will come later.
