I just watched this again she is 100% guilty and the cop should be given a gold medal for his professionalism and she should be retried in court. The paper she signed and her palm print/sweat or whatever should be sent to the lab for forensic testing and if proven she should do the full 15 years jail for perjury. If the cop didn't have the video footage imagine all the internal investigations he would have had to go through with and the suspicion from investigators.  The cop should also be promoted by at least 2 ranks for having to prove himself.

Re: Should the Burqa be banned in Australia

As Judge Jeffreys yesterday delivered his reason for upholding Ms Matthews' appeal, her legal team indicated that they would apply for costs.

Judge Jeffreys said that the prosecution had failed to prove two aspects of the charge "beyond a reasonable doubt".

He said there wasn't enough evidence it was Ms Matthews who handed in the written complaint to Campbelltown police station and, even if it were, there wasn't enough evidence to prove that she "intentionally, deliberately and purposefully" made a false complaint.

A factor that the prosecution had relied on was the fact the signature on the statutory declaration matched that on Ms Matthew's licence, but Mr Jeffreys said he thought there were "a number of differences" between the two.

2012 - Also,  Ms Matthews had to pay her own court costs.  It is estimated that costs for the hearing, which included the use of top silk Phillip Boulten SC, were more than $10,000.

In Australia - English is taught in schools, business is conducted in English. 2011 census -  76.8% of people spoke only English at home.

 

burka/burqa/burkah is in the Oxford Dictionary - origin from Urdu and Persian burqa‘, from Arabic burqu‘.

I gimped this scene to illustrate my point.

Who is the dodgy one? There are 6 anonymous people in this scene, Mr Guy Fawkes, the helmet clad woman, the burqa clad woman, the child with the pixelled face, the baby under the cover, and whoever is watching them all on the security cameras. It’s funny how governments and the media focus on the form of anonymity that best suits their agendas. It’s a great way to distract us from the issues that will actually affect us like peak oil and unsustainable population growth. I’m not pro islam, I think their imaginary friend is as crazy as that of any other religion, but I don’t think we’re in a position to throw stones. Our indecency exposure laws forbid women from exposing their chests in public yet men are free to do so. My solution is walking around naked with an electronic burqa (infrared LEDs on a head band which blind security cameras), that way I can p*** off everyone but not get caught by the fashion police :)

 

 

....thought this line of thinking most appropriate here.

Re: Should the Burqa be banned in Australia

I hate the english language for being so ugly, the lack of beauty and the simplicity that is borderline to a language designed for imbeziles.

 

I still learned it for the sake of communication and the respect to the people of Australia.

 

Yes I absolutely detest the English language but I mastered it anyway for the sake of communication and getting on with the locals.

 

It's ugly as bleep but so what? I am here so I have to make the best of it.

 

That is called "common sense" and "respect".

 

Even though most Australians seem to be knuckle-dragging neanderthalers I learnt their language in order to fit in.
