'Landers have a better perspective on the issue than Slobo.

Greville Street was just the entree.

Quite frankly - ATM, it's hard to see this not ending up in court.

Anyone else like me . . . so completely flabbergasted that they cannot focus properly on anything else ATM - and the rest of the night is ruined?

This. JVR was brilliant on the stand tonight based on the info in the feeds. It's an understatement to say we've got a goodun.

Wow - just wow. Words completely fail me.

Conflict of Interest in the AFL. COI has become my specialty.

There are many silly, corrupt, or evil practices that would cease to exist if the participants did not generally comply with certain putative norms. Put simply, the MFC, and therefore its members, of which there are many on 'Land, are complicit in supporting this oppressive, systematic racket, dressed up as a judicial system. This is not about Michael Christian or any other individual, but insidious, systematic injustice, that transcends individual actors. Sooner or later, someone or something, must take a stand to root out systematic oppression within the whole system. It is clear the emperor has no clothes, for the AFL judicial system has acquired both a power and personality of its own, operating in a closed system, accountable only to itself. What is needed is an outside force that takes a drastic action upon the interlocking forces that composes the system. If successful, this usually results in the movement of the entire system. One person or organisation can change a system, which in turn changes other systems, forming a network of cascading changes unimaginable from the point of the first contemplative action. Numerous such actions have been taken against the previous incarnation of the VFL, and the modern AFL, that exposed disorder, hypocrisy, highlighted political and moral U-turns, and punctured bombastic posturing. Maybe the time has come to expose the emperor again and the institutionalisation of trickery at all levels.

Anyone got the AFL Law book handy? What are our options? Injunction at law? Serious.

In 1999, I actually wrote a Master's thesis on the AFL. The Prof sent it to The Age. They wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole.

S'pose Christian's sanction is upheld - do we take it further? Go fund me page anyone?

S'pose to be writing an essay - cannot focus.

Just BTW friends - do not be too concerned if deliberations take some time. Does not necessarily mean difficulty arriving at a decision. May mean Tribunal members determined a verdict in 30 seconds and are having a scotch to assist the 'optics'.

Facts and justice occasionally overlap @Wells 11.

Hey @Redleg. Must admit, I too was a bit hurt by @WalkingCivilWar's comment.

I couldn't quite figure out why Angry was looming large from my sub-conscious to my consciousness tonight @Fat Tony. Now you've just traumatized me.

It's not the length of the legal arguments to be concerned about - it's the length of the Tribunal's deliberations that count.

Is video conferencing being used? Serious question.

We are learning a lot tonight about the character of the young man we have on our hands.

JVR's responses to AFL questioner are brilliant.

Is this being streamed?

And significantly more prized @Demon Dynasty. @WalkingCivilWar FYI
