Always good to have the Watso perspective on affairs , current or otherwise.
The defamation case is interesting.
My understanding is that a witness in such a case , and for that matter a witness in a coronial inquiry , is not subject to any sanction [ apart from obvious perjury , which is a high bar ] , for what they say.
We are not in a court of law, therefore Porter has not been found guilty of anything [ beyond reasonable doubt ]
For those who might chastise Watso's call of guilty, note his very sly insertion of a reference to the standard of proof required in civil proceedings .
Taurisk raised questions about the timing of this flood of revelations , is it politics?
If it is politics, is it internal Liberal or LNP politics , coming from the ALP or Greens , or is the flood just the consequence of a dam breaking.
Anyway, they all need to raise their game , democracy and politics are fragile at the moment.
cheers
