Alleged paedophile Malka Leifer declared mentally fit for extradition to Australia to face charges

Former Melbourne school principal Malka Leifer has been declared mentally fit to be extradited from Israel to Australia, where she is charged with more than 70 counts of child sex abuse.Leifer faces 74 counts of sexual assault in Victoria related to accusations by three sisters who say they were abused during their time at the ultra-orthodox Adass Israel school more than a decade ago. The Israeli-born Leifer left Australia when the allegations surfaced in 2008 and has remained in Israel since.

Australia lodged an extradition request for Leifer in 2014, but the case has been repeatedly delayed. Leifer's lawyers have continually argued she is unfit to face extradition due to poor mental health and a court agreed to release her 2016.More to come.

Finally a good news story!! 😎

Will be curious to see what kind of Justice will eventuate. Pell is already back in the streets.. not going to hold my breath

Wearing a stupid head covering and looking at the floor is not a mental illness. It's just bad advice from her lawyers.

All this fuss & delay to bring her back so that she can cry and be given a good behaviour bond PussyPass

Great news

Been following this story for quite some time now. Such hard work and commitment from these women. Congratulations to them!

Now bring her back to stand trial

👏👏👏

I wonder if the usual suspects from News Corp (Bolt, mirandadevine , Sheridan etc) will be vigorously defending her?

Burn the witch

Since I do not follow trend. I am not going to comment or take side on this case. All I can say is that this case has been dragged sooooo long.

People like her aren’t Jews!please don’t let this case be a reason for anti semitism

He's probably Mossad asset.

Brilliant. Maybe there will be justice for her victims.

JacktheInsider Step one completed

About time. She has been wilfully playing the system.

Justice at last

About time

About. Time! What a farce! Yet another paedophile protected by religious extremists. When does the abuse end When MalkaLeifer

And about time. Wonder what excuse Leifer ‘s lawyers will come out with next to delay the inevitable.

This woman is a monster. She seems to have no remorse for the damage she had done. 😥 Dassi has been so brave in her fight for justice, for herself, her sisters & the many other victims. It's been a long time coming.

I would do any crime to be held by that sweetheart.

Don’t count your Shiksa’s until this pig is on Australian soil. She obviously has friends in high places.

May she be on the first available flight back to Melbourne.

Good

Fingers crossed

SteveMolk Awesome!! Justice for those girls 🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Protecting a paedophile. Nice.

Finally, fantastic.

Has high blood pressure like the high Priest ? He didn’t want to come back either.

Good. Throw the book at the beast.

Gee, it’s almost as if Israel has a track record of protecting criminals...

'Too many charges' for restaurants, cafes to reopen | Sky News AustraliaAustralian chef and restaurateur Luke Mangan says “the restaurant business has too many charges” which is making it harder for hospitality services to reopen after the coronavirus crisis. \n\nAl fresco dining could be an option for cafes and restaurants in NSW as the government considers ways to assist their reopening while adhering to restrictions. \n\nWhile he said outdoor dining was a good option, Mr Mangan told Sky News it also created additional costs for restaurant owners. \n\n “Some councils and governments can put in excessive charges for you to have a chair out on the street,” he said. \n\n“We could lose up to 30 to 40 per cent of restaurants in the next few months,” he said. \n\n“We need all the help we can get and people are entertaining in corporate offices and things like that, we want them to come back into our restaurants, entertain them there and not be penalised for it.” \n\nImage: Getty World wide saw the same story here today in California maybe a little less 'celebrity' status and lifestyle needed.
