Calling a judge a wanker not contempt: Vic Court of Appeal

[Constitution Day]

Heh. From your link:

"There was another case where a defendant actually dropped their trousers in court, bent over and showed the judge the words 'Happy Christmas' written on their behind, and that was found not to be in contempt also. I think that defendant was probably fairly lucky, I might say."

Oh...man...after reading that link, I'm literally in tears laughing.

Quote of the year, at the very least:

RICHARD LEADER: Yes. What actually tends to happen with insults to judges is that findings of contempt are not made. There was another case where a defendant actually dropped their trousers in court, bent over and showed the judge the words 'Happy Christmas' written on their behind, and that was found not to be in contempt also. I think that defendant was probably fairly lucky, I might say.

ROTFLMAO

Ahhhhh, so now we understand why judges don't wear pants underneath their robes ...
