THREAD. 1. An Attorney-General should tell the truth. Bottom line. Did he here? Is the Attorney denying any of the behaviour witnessed by multiple professionals in the employ of the Liberal Party who witnessed his behaviour that night?
We gave the Attorney TWO WEEKS. That’s right, journalistic colleagues who give politicians hours. He provided nothing. His staffer kept telling us he couldn’t possibly put this to the Attorney. A matter for him.
3. He may not remember Ms Foley, Ms Dyer, nor many other women. They remember him.
4. Mr Tudge has acknowledged his poor behaviour. The chief law officer of the nation fights on.

2. Kathleen has been a campaigner at the Bar for gender equality & spoke out against the culture of sexism in the law more generally after the High Court investigation findings about Fmr Justice Dyson Heydon. The new @VictorianBar regime is headed by a man, Paul Holdensen QC.

THREAD: List of Royal Comm (unredacted) findings re #Pell:
1. Ballarat Bishop Mulkearns did not lie to his consultors, including Pell, re true reason for shifting paedophile Fr Ridsdale from parish to parish.
2. 'Inconceivable' Mulkearns deceived Pell et al. (Rejects Pell alibi)
3. "We are satisfied...Mulkearns told the consultors it was necessary to move Ridsdale...bc of complaints that he had sexually abused children. A contrary position is not tenable."
4. Conduct of any consultor (Pell) who knew & didn't advise against moving Ridsdale 'unacceptable'.
5.Pell's was consultor. Pell's conduct, therefore, "unacceptable".
6.“Lives of dozens of children and their families, likely to be more than 100, were devastated by [Ridsdale’s] conduct."
7.Pell, then-Episcopal Vicar for Education, knew of offending in Ballarat diocese from 1973.

THREAD: Pell & bunkum ABC conspiracy: 1. Dec 2015: Royal Commission prepares for #Pell to fly from Rome & give evidence. 2. December 2: @VictoriaPolice issues warrants for raids @ St Patrick’s Cathedral & St Kevin’s, re alleged offences vs teenage choirboys. Reported in @theage.
3. December 11: Pell’s lawyer tells Royal Commission he’s too ill to fly & wants to give evidence from Rome via video link. Furore. I much later discover sick note written by doctor who advises the Congregation for the Causes of Saints of medical miracles, ergo person is saint.
4. Dr Richard Sallie, gastroenterologist, writes to @smh offering to accompany Pell home & to pay for 1st class ticket. 5. Survivors desperate for answers about what #Pell knew resolve to fly to Rome. But they’re broke. 6. @GorgiCoghlan & @theprojecttv organise fundraiser.

1. When in the course of my journalism, there are allegations about anyone, I have the ethics to pick up the phone & ask questions. If the subject does not wish to converse with me, I send the questions in writing. I give them plenty of notice.
2. Yet again, from a former colleague at the national broadsheet, a newspaper I was once proud to write for & where they loved my work, they write factually incorrect, defamatory nonsense without giving basic courtesy. Journalism 101. I learned it as a cadet there. Get comment.
3. Here’s some comment, after the fact, Mr Sheridan: Your paper printed nonsense about my journalism long before fact-checking claims. Collusion with police? Didn’t happen. Even when, in court, evidence was led to prove your paper printed in error, it refused to correct record.

THREAD: 1. Man refuses interview with journalist fairly putting claims to him or to answer questions. Man’s lawyers instruct journalist to destroy their own letters to her. Journalist gobsmacked at that one. Journalist doesn’t destroy letters. Man charged by police.
2. Man says he’s returning to clear good name. Man then exercises legal right to remain silent. Wealthy backers stump up for QC. QC barbecues man’s accuser. Man stays schtum. Accuser convinces jury. High Court deems jury must be irrational. Cheerleader granted audience with man.
3. Fireside chat with cheerleader played before blacked out report could be released. Blacked out report on, among other things, Royal Commission’s findings on what exactly man knew of one of nation’s worst paedophiles. Who was, like man, priest in church which *preached* love.

#Auspol #Pell THREAD: 1. 2017, Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse delivered final report. Following are its findings re Ballarat Bishop Ronald Mulkearns, who moved serial paedophile priest Ridsdale from parish to parish, to abuse 100s of children.
2. George #Pell was a consultor to Bishop Mulkearns - one of inner circle of priests whom the Bishop consulted on priestly appointments and movements. No-one, including Pell, argued Mulkearns didn't know about what Ridsdale was doing. There is enormous evidence to support that.
3. What #Pell did say is that Mulkearns kept the truth from his consultors. Pell gave this evidence from Rome in 2016. He did so bc he was, his Vatican doctor (Dr Polisca, who declares medical medical miracles to say someone's a saint), wrote, too ill to fly back to Australia.
