One routinely sees evidence in the US that prosecutors and judges read the newspapers. If,by chance,that’s also true in Australia it seems unlikely that Cardinal Pell will be exonerated (assuming he deserves to be). The fact that the Cardinal is widely hated by his countrymen could be enough to see him die in prison...even if he doesn’t deserve to.
Just as an aside I wonder if you heard about a law that recently went into effect in the State of New York.Governor Andrew "The Lesser" Cuomo just signed into law a bill that allows those alleging sexual abuse to file civil suits against their abusers regardless of when it's alleged to to have happened.
So a person can file against the Catholic Church (the real target...a hated institution with deep pockets) for something that is said to have happened 50 years ago.
Given that it's New York it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how this will turn out.
My guess is Trump won’t do anything until Saudi oil production is back to normal. At that point he will do a deal with the Saudi’s, they agree to increase and maintain output of oil and together they take out Iran’s military. Oil output would continue at the increased level until Iran changes government. (Something like that or let Israel enjoy flying the missions)
