What an absolute child. I’d have left something electronic and spendy in the bag just to get them on criminal charges. FAFO
Some people suck
She could have just denied it was her in the video. It is impossible to prove if someone denies it.
In Australia my friend identified a woman appearing clearly in a TV news bulletin being arrested at an anti-lockdown rally and complaining loudly. In fact it was official supplementary extended footage from the TV station uploaded to youtube: about 20 seconds of just her.
She is denying it was her though and is suing him for defamation. It has cost him over
US$100US$100k so far and the hearing day has not even arrived.We have pretty strong courts though and if she loses the judgement she’ll likely be ordered to pay your friends’ costs.
I meant $100k (not $100). I doubt he will get costs even if he wins. She also got an AVO out against him based on this. Claims it has ruined her business (she wants $100k for lost revenue despite not showing tax returns) and that she fears for her life complete with waterworks in the hearing (despite him living interstate).
The current political climate is biased in her favour. After the Higgins trial win Larissa Waters tweeted “I believe women”.
He subpoenaed mug shots of the women arrested at the rally but none are of her. Seems the police are in on it, using her as a honeypot to attract the extremists. Courts protect police.
