A short history of Australian property developers …

Much to consider on this week’s Fourth Estate following the “omnishambles” (to quote Justice Lee) that was the Bruce Lehrmann v Network 10 & Lisa Wilkinson defamation case.

Who knew the quickstep was also part of Caroline Jones's impressive repertoire?!

Thrilled to be delivering the @WIM oration honouring the late Caroline Jones, a trailblazer in our industry.

I've started a weekly column on Wednesdays at ABC ... today's is about the #Lehrmann judgment: abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Kate McClymont Weird thing is, if I squint my eyes, the tattoo looks more like Rolf Harris.

Kate McClymont Reminds me of an old Leunig cartoon in which the tattooist wrote ‘Born Looser’ on a hapless client’s arm. The tattooist apologises for the spelling mistake and the client weakly replies ‘that’s okay mate’.

Lehrmann’s reputation.
My The Sydney Morning Herald The Age cartoon.

The guy with the Lehrmann tattoo (see below) said last week that when Justice Lee handed down his judgment: 'You'll be living in a world where Britanny Higgins' allegations of rape have been found NOT to be proven. How does it feel feminazi manhater antiwhite racist fake news?'

Kate McClymont I believe the Thick Of It quote was 'You're the f***ing omnishambles, you are'

It’s the civil standard: ie on the balance of probability

Why on earth would #BruceLehrmann go to court with a #defamation claim over a #rape allegation knowing there was evidence that could demolish his case and wreck his reputation?
The risible quality of his lies ensured that he was doomed. Justinian

Oh. My. God. This can’t be real.

This has aged well: #MenToo advocate Bettina Ardnt calling Brittany Higgins a 'lying, scheming bimbo.'
Maybe the ticket sales for hearing #BruceLehrmann talking about the justice system might go towards the legal costs of Channel Ten and Lisa Wilkinson. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/w…
