I wonder who will be paying for the barrister.    Hmmmm.

Mr Faris asked the DPP to confirm the nature of his decision, whether he was prepared to reconsider and whether he would provide the reasons why Mr Shorten was not charged

 

So, if the DPP says no, no, no to those questions there is nothing else the barrister can do?

Pro-bono it says in the article.

 

Mr Faris told The Australian his client, Kathy, was of limited means and his pro bono involvement was the first time she had the benefit of advice from a lawyer.

 

Did this thread just get merged with an old one?

The woman has recruited high-profile barrister Peter Faris QC, who has informed the Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions, John Champion, that his client wants to review the DPP’s decision not to press charges.

 

how did she 'recruit' him for nothing.

 

 

as he's offered his services "pro bono' I'd say it's just another attempt at witch hunting

pro bono means for free nero

 

 

It sounds more like this QC (is he?)

 

sought her out to try and make something out of this case where there isn't anything

Yes, doesn't sound like they have a lot to go on apart from 'asking' the DPP to reconsider and give reasons why there was no charge. Which he is not obliged to do.

What other dark secrets does Mr Shorterm have? Is there another ugly and sinister secret yet to be revealed? Is he fit to be a future leader of this great nation? So many questions with no answers.

Probably none.

Tony abbotts secret about the baby he gave up for adoption that turned out not to be his after DNA testing came out ages ago.so I guess we are used to politicians having skeletons in their closets

did anyone watch Kitchen Cabinet last night??

 

Shorten can't be too bad, his wife is lovely.

I saw most of it, she is lovely and I suspect he is also very nice.
