How bizarre. The court's main concern seemed to be to determine that there can be no exception to the victims of crime levy. What a waste of public resources. We really do live in Kafka's castle.
"Yes we have no convictions, We have no convictions today! We have public resources, Taxpayers and taxes, And all sorts of rules, and say, We have an old fashioned crime levy Our own island proviso, But yes we have no convictions We have no convictions today!"

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou probably know about this. A recent case from South Australia:

The two appellants managed to have no conviction recorded but the finding of guilt remained alas.
Really interesting, thanks, Edward!
