George Pell case: Why the public isn't allowed to know the specificsHere's an explanation of the law which determines what can and can't be published in criminal court cases. Finally. SBS auspol This will end up being what I call the two tiered justice system in Australia. Bloke down the road = Multiple years of prison dependent on how many offences. Famous/rich/elite = Little chance of prison. If imprisoned, small sentence in a secure, affable lockup. I live in the US now. Can you hear me screaming for joy from over here Georgey-poo?!!! 🎉🎉🎉😈💃💃
