My favourite post Grand Final interview

AG refuses to intervene in McBride trial. We are bitterly disappointed with the correspondence received today on behalf of the Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus. We have waited weeks for a reply to detailed subs seeking the withdrawal of charges against McBride and now this vague letter arrives, with no indication that the arguments have even been considered. As a trial is days away, we cannot comment on the matters we put to Mr Dreyfus seeking his intervention but we utterly reject the contention that the Attorney-General cannot intervene except in "unusual and exceptional circumstances". The law imposes no such restraint nor any hint of it. The AG does not need exceptional circumstances but there is no shortage of them in McBride’s case. The implication that the AG’s Department has an arm's-length relationship to the case is difficult for us to accept as we are constantly entangled in its interventions. The AG now exerts startling powers over the conduct of the trial and the presentation of evidence under the National Security Information Act (NSI) Those powers are being exerted with vigour. In common parlance the AG and his delegates are up to their necks in this secret trial.

Just saw a Police paddy wagon parked in a No Stopping zone outside Glebe Police Station. Should I call the police?

It's unconscionable that David McBride and Richard Boyle are both before courts for blowing the whistle on misconduct and alleged crimes. They are heroes, not villains. It’s time for the Attorney-General to drop the charges immediately andrewwilkie.org/2023/09/govern…. #auspol #politas

So incredibly grateful for this. Thank you @MrRexPatrick and @SatPaper Thank you. Each day the pressure of a trial and lengthy jail sentence weighs heavily on my family. Meanwhile Mark Dreyfus makes speeches how he loves transparency. The hypocrisy threatens the whole Govt.

“In November, McBride will be the first person on trial in relation to war crimes committed by Australian forces in Afghanistan – the whistleblower, not a war criminal.” @MarkDreyfusKCMP could stop this injustice, but he lacks the political courage #auspol thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topic/…

Hmm. How exactly does the 50c of the Uber Green fee that the company keeps “help other drivers with fossil-fuel vehicles transition to electric”?

@BBCYaldaHakim @BBCWorld @BBCNews Oh no - that’s a massive loss for the BBC Yalda. But what a contribution you’ve made, and what impact you’ve had, especially in your beloved Afghanistan. See you in Oz.

19 men have been imprisoned by the US at Guantanamo Bay for over 20 years *without charge*. 16 of them have been cleared for release ... but not released. Fionnoula Ní Aoláin is the first independent UN expert to meet them ab.co/3pqI5IK

@ClaireCNWL Yes brilliant It’s a scandal that despite all the “awareness” of mental illness in recent years that severe mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar are so neglected still. The lived experience voice must be more inclusive and advocacy less superficial
