Clapton, you are remarkably well informed. To further assist your information, here is an interesting statistic about this VCA matter.
Funny how all the other well informed individuals seemed incapable of posting the real facts about the case. However, you seem to miss the point of my posts.
No one was arguing about how many times VCAs etc have been prosecuted. That is a totally different issue - and I don't necessarily disagree with you on that point.
I was responding to Walrus 7 and his completely false statements that the "court threw out" all the charges. That is demonstrably wrong and it is a pity that such rubbish is posted on PPRUNE masquerading as fact. If you want to post material then it should at least be accurate and factual not a rant by someone who knows nothing about the real details or who deliberately posts misleading information as part of some ideological vendetta against CASA.
Further, your comment:
Certainly, also, an expert legal opinion noted afterward that "dismissal of a charge found proven (whether after a contest or upon a plea of guilty) is a result not commonly achieved"
Not sure what expertise this expert has if he thinks that section 19B orders are "not commonly achieved". Must be practising law on a different planet if that is his "expert legal opinion".
As for Mr Hat, if you had the detail then you would post it. Problem is that obviously doesn't and are happy to throw mud without any evidence.
As for Walrus 7's last comment:
2. I believe that the matter is now the subject of a CASA internal investigation. In other words, the fat lady has one more song to sing.
It would be interesting to see what the internal investigation comes up with - as far as I was aware the Complaints Commissioner has no jurisdiction or ability to investigate the DPP - and it is the DPP who run prosecutions and decide which charges to proceed with, how to run the case, whether or not to drop charges (have a read of the Director of Prosecutions Act). So what will he be investigating? But no doubt W7 you will post all the factual details of the investigation - won't you - however, just stick to facts not some embellished story that you make up.
