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
