Full Title:

The incredible national news story that we CAN'T report: A very high-profile figure has been convicted of a serious crime - here's why you're not allowed to read about it

================================================================

A suppression order protected the conviction of a high-profile figure this week

The person was convicted on Tuesday and will be remanded in February

Victorian County Court has ordered a gag on the person's identity and charges

The state accounts for more than half of suppression orders doled out in country

===================================================================

A very high-profile figure has been convicted of a serious crime this week, but suppression orders have prevented Australian media outlets including Daily Mail Australia from reporting on it.

The well-known person has attracted significant media attention throughout their trial, and was only convicted on Tuesday.

The conviction came on the second attempt, after a jury could not decide a verdict during an earlier trial.

The Victorian County Court first brought in the suppression order after the first trial.

I believe it’s “men chunder”.

Because being so drunk you vomit your guts out is so common in Australia that they have a specific word for it.

This has been the December Twelfth episode of “Vocabulary nobody wants to learn.”

I can’t say. I’ve never been to Bombay, or any other part of India. The place is still mostly Third World, and was much more so then.

Cardinal Pell was probably innocent; the conviction will be appealed.

But in the present witch hunt atmosphere, he didn’t stand a chance.

Pell has been a most vigorous defender of Catholic teaching on sexual morality. As such he has been in the cross-hairs of the gaystapo for a long time. That makes me seriously doubt the veracity of any testimony by prosecution witnesses. Never doubt the lengths to which the sodomites and their allies will go to destroy those who speak against them.

I believe fully in his innocence. This is about him daring to speak out against power brokers in the Vatican and his support for Catholic teaching on sexuality.

Never doubt the lengths to which the sodomites and their allies

Sodomy: one of the four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.

Bearing False Witness would likely be small potatoes to one who would commit Sodomy.

In Britain and Australia it sounds like the government has taken a cue from the MSM and is deciding what stories should and shouldn’t be reported on.


Don’t kid yourself. It happens in the US, too. There was one case where the court not only outlawed reporting on the case and verdict, but also made it illegal to report there was a suppression order.

There is no First Amendment in Australia, or ANYWHERE besides America.

Australian. That means its Cardinal Pell, thought to have been one of the good guys, but charged with pedophilia.

Great Britain, not having a First Amendment, has always been very restricitive about what can be published about court cases (supposedly to protect judges and jurors from public influence). These rules go back 100 years, at least. Australia, being a Commonwealth country, took their rules from England.
