    I’m not going to pretend to understand the court system… But surely that’s a shit thing to do to leak details before court concludes? Does that then not give them an appeal avenue?

      There’s Violence on the Television, and Letterbombs in the mail, But things can’t be all that bad that Derryn Hinch went to jail.

      Famine eats up Children, the Peace talks: they always fail, But things can’t be all that bad ‘cos Derryn Hinch went to jail.

      You might have double malaria, the doctors look at you, they go pale, But things, they can’t be all that bad when Derryn Hinch goes to jail.

      Christ, himself, on the cross, told the guy that banged in the nail, Mate, things, they can’t be all that bad when Derryn Hinch goes to jail.

      You know, I can take Ronald Reagan, I can take Menachem Begin, I can take Tetraplegia, I can take total amnesia, I can take black spiky hair, I can take germ warfare, I can take Chasers and Inflation, I can take hyperventilation, I can take total bowel dysfunction, I can take nuclear destruction, I can even take Mike Willesee (well, at a pinch), But one thing I cannot take is …

        There’s hip-hop stars like Eminem With lyrics that are sick He’s violent, crass and bigoted Sounds like Stan Zemanek You are hearing now, the first and best Voice of the outraged male But things can’t be all that bad When TISM’s album fails

        I do what Phillip Adams did If things get beyond the pale I’ll go on Radio National And save the freaking whales You think my ratings ain’t so good? You should see their record sales Things can’t be all that bad When TISM’s album fails

        The TV show it got the chop The film script ain’t got made The wine bizzo went belly up I even worked in Adelaide I thought I told you once before The cheque is in the mail But things can’t be all that bad When TISM’s album fails

        Now, I’m not a vindictive man Ain’t got one vengeful pore I could be damned to time in hell Or with Stuart Littlemore Steve Price could become dictator While Australia Sieg Heils But things wouldn’t be all that bad If TISM’s album fails

      Pretty much…

      No idea why anyone would praise this guy. It’s no better than Pauline interfering with the court system at the moment. If they’re found not guilty, it’s not good.

      Let the courts decide. We see plenty of stupid fucking vigilante bs that turns out wrong

        His ego was so big he thought he knew better than the legal system. Every one of the rules he broke was there to protect the integrity of the legal system and ongoing court matters. Hinch was an egotistical asshole.

          Yep

          I actually know someone who dodged one of these stupid vigilante bs things

          There was a road rage incident where someone got upset during a right hand turn at her, she said they suck at driving when they got agro and drove off. Basically, the driver was acting like they wanted to do a U-turn, but actually wanted a right turn

          She pulled over away from them, but theypulled up near her, and started physically smashing her car. So to get him from her car, she damaged his mirror.

          Few hours later, they’re on Facebook trying to get information on her claiming she was on drugs and it was road rage by her. After she’d been completely abused, and they had ripped off mirrors, wipers off her car and damaged the door before she even went anywhere near theirs. Never mentioned they completely smashed her car

          And all they wanted to do was report to police (playing innocent).

          Facebook defended the aggressors strongly… until people started posting photos of evidence and I managed to explain to the mods that the story was a lie. And eventually the person let slip their husband sometimes acted irrationally

          If someone like hinch caught onto this story, my friend would likely have been targeted by the community. And to this day, I make it clear to people to never report people to report info to anyone asking on Facebook, but direct to police only

          There is a reason it goes through courts instead where all evidence is shown, instead of people who are simply popular
