A friend’s recent divorce cost him well over a $1m in legal fees and they strayed into multiple mediation sessions back and forth for days over several years.
What kind of mediation are you thinking of, Ed?
More fantasy from Ed, Whybrow thought it was 10-2 the other way. Given how many fantabulations both you and your mate Drumgold have been shown over and over to concoct, I think we’ll go with Whybrow, he’s been shown to be more reliable.
You’ve dug yourself such a hole here Ed, you’ve busted whatever limited credibility you might have had not just here but at the New Cat too. It prompted me to see if good old Trampo was still blogging and, frankly, it’s largely as sad a picture as your credibility.
100 comments whoohooo!
Fifty of them from Ed alone, but still…
Whataya reckon, Walkely for Albrechtsen and Logie for Panahi?
/sarc
I have a friend who has been in mediation for more than a year. The other party won’t let her out. You just make it up Ed.
You’ve admitted the case was complex, and the complexity of the case determines how long mediation takes. This was not mediation as the two parties had the same outcome in mind, a payout for the complainant, the problem is that the government was supposed to be representing taxpayers and now the cat is out of the bag that Higgins, Sharaz and Elbow stiched up taxpayers, Taxpayers interests were not represented.
Interesting that Blumer was one of the key complainants in the Dyson Heydon case which dominated the headlines, along with Christian Porter matters, in the period 2020-2022.
It is interesting, but you’re not disputing the facts about Heydon, are you?
You’ve admitted the case was complex, and the complexity of the case determines how long mediation takes.
Huh?
It wasn’t complex, Higgins was hard done by, victimised and even when it went public, Reynolds didn’t let up, she doubled down.
The last thing the Government wanted was a public hearing, there woulda been outrage over what Higgins went through.
Buccy. ever since it came out that Sharaz and Gallagher were mates, everybody…that’s EVERYBODY…has known it was all a “payment for services rendered to the ALP” exercise. No rape can occur AFTER a woman is scorned…only revengeful lying, There can be no failure to support an invented tale.
The question now is: how many who lean left care at all about this? Will any dipstick who voted ALP/Green, or Teal (= totally immoral f’wits to start with: could’ve voted Pauline or Clive, or similar others) be thinking “this is theft. This is rub + tuggery running rampant”
I doubt many leftists can think AT ALL, apart from “gimme other people’s money”. Anyone here care to disagree?
Err, it’s clear now that Higgins wasn’t hard done by or victimised. It was Reynolds that bore that burden. Higgins went to the media first, made fantabulist claims that weren’t true, denied the police access to her phone, and conspired with media and politicians to create a narrative before an actual case was brought forward, then mercilessly leveraged the media for sympathy, including a threat behind the scenes to cry again on the project.
She has set back the believe all women movement monumentally. No amount of gaslighting from you Ed will patch over the gaping hole in her story.
It was supposed to be so much better – more women in power.
Unsuitable girls are handed positions of “adviser” and some will do anything to hang on to them.
It’s naive to think along the lines of “what happened to her”. She wasn’t dragged off the street and assaulted. She was a main player in what “happened” to her.
She’s been awarded a lot of money.
And if increased publicity “happens” to her, will likely go on to claim mental health vulnerability, as they do.
Excellent observations on high profile matters over the last few years: https://paulcollits.substack.com/p/have-me-tooists-jumped-the-shark
Perhaps a concerted campaign started after the 2019 election.
Manta. I kind of agree here, I’ll make this observation. The left has worked out if they can get the msm to not cover or bury coverage of their dirty laundry, the average swinging voter doesn’t care enough about politics to dig for their information. In the internet age, finding out the real story is hard because of gaslighters like Ed. They will constantly distract and fabricate a narrative to this purpose. It is designed to demoralise normal decent people and disengage them from sources of truth.
In this instance, the cat is out of the bag and the normal ‘nothing to see here’ routine is not working, this is because the material is so explosive and the media already fell over themselves to cover it previously. It’s also because the ‘it’s the reserve banks fault interest rates and energy prices are going up’ schtick has just about fallen over. People in the media are starting to feel some pain from this government and are covering their bullshit.
Will this last, that might depend on how Dutton plays his cards.
Which is why the Left’s insistence on the NACC is so perfectly ironic, so long as the Liberal Party can grow a set and use it deftly.
SydGal, great article, the libs have to go nuclear this time and round up all the suspects named by Collits, if they leave one behind it just encourages the leaners to try it on. That means they need to out how Drumgold gained position and whether or not he was influenced to push this in the face of overwhelming evidence that it was smoke and mirrors from the start.
The key player here is Reynolds, she should be taking the role of lightning rod and making all the running. Now the stitch up is the narrative, every time she is on TV or in the media, fair minded peopl will be reminded about what happened.
The job is to embarrass he NACC into investigating the left properly. They need to allocate a stakeholder with nothing to lose to do this immediately.
Canberra – A brief history of its modern purpose
Canberra is the nation’s capital and home to the federal parliament. Some of those who work there like to film themselves knocking the top off over their boss’s desk while others, whether employees or representatives of the people, engage in homosexual acts within the parliamentary church away from the prying eyes of their families.
Employees of citizens’ representatives have free rein to use the offices of the federal parliament for sessions of after-hours drinking or to pop-in and grab some designer clothes they might need without the hassle of having to return them.
But amongst the fun serious threats do emerge. Political animals that don’t give a feck for anybody or anything roam these streets searching for the young and naive to use as patsies to pay off their ex-wives whom they fleeced of their savings.
She has set back the believe all women movement monumentally.
2 things:
#1. Who cares?
#2. The #MeToo movement peaked about 2015 and spluttered out years ago.
You’re clutching at straws.
Labor’s weaponising the allegations against Reynolds, Cash and Morrison is a completely sepatrate issue.
If this Drumgeld chap was up to all sorts of chicanery in such a high profile case, what was he failing to do for the complete nobodies?
Looks likely that Gallagher and Drumgeld were not only in it, they were the ones pumping the effluent out into the streets.
It’s naive to think along the lines of “what happened to her”. She wasn’t dragged off the street and assaulted.
Uh huh.
So, the proper defence to a Rape Charge is to say:
“Well, your Honour, she wasn’t dragged off the street and assaulted.”?
It’s a total beat up by The Australian.
Gallagher has misled the Senate about when she knew what, so she’s probably going to have to resign.
The bigger is that when the issue blew up, Reynolds went to ground, took Sick Leave, was incognito for months, paid Higgins $20 k and apologised for defaming her and was demoted from Defence Minister in Cabinet to some outer Ministry no one cares about, and is now a backbencher.
Hardly a vote of confidence from Morrison or Peter Dutton.
Then she went sneaking around briefing against Higgins and acting like a total lowlife while Higgins was upfront about something deeply shameful that had happened to her.
Ed, switch on the ventilation.
From eventually upfront …. to exuding power
Must’ve been exhilarating.
I see that Grandpa Ultracrepidarian is still busy making up stories to support the Labor Party and his favourite niece.
Grandpa Cletus
The last thing the Government wanted was a public hearing, there woulda been outrage over what Higgins went through.
To the contrary, if things were as you say, the Labor government woulda been delighted to smear the Liberals and Reynolds across all of their lackey media outlets.
You have just proven why the NACC must investigate this scandal. Congratulations.
Ed, you’re trying to rewrite history again, we all remember Higgins appearing multiple times with Grace Tame. Why so desperate to manipulate the narrative Ed? I think we all know…
This is interesting https://youtu.be/gFIr2tj0LwQ
Finally, after days of coverage, Ed, probably on the instruction of his bosses in the alp, throws Katy under the bus. What ever feckless actions the libs did to try to make this a short story at the start are nothing compared to the collusion between the parties to subvert the normal path of justice by attempting to try this in the media in advance of an actual complaint to police and the use of parliament as a subversion of any process to resolve a workplace dispute where it subsequently appears that every appropriate offer of assistance was refused.

Subvert the course of Justice?
Workplace dispute?
Are you huffing the spray paint again?
I said path of justice, that means not attempting to sway public opinion before you’ve provided evidence to the police. That is exactly what Higgins did.
You wouldn’t have a clue about spray paint anyway, just like you’ve shown how clueless you are about everything else.
I said path of justice, that means not attempting to sway public opinion before you’ve provided evidence to the police. That is exactly what Higgins did.
So what?
That’s not a crime, it isn’t even morally wrong.
That comment says more about you than anything else, Ed. You’re happy for someone to attempt to try someone in the court of public opinion, but we all know that’s only if it’s someone you don’t like.
You’re clutching at straws through this whole thread, in the meantime, people have noticed how feckless you and your mates in the alp really are. It must hurt to know that the mean girls are now likely to make elbow a one term government and place Dutton in the lodge.
The elections 21&1/2 years away, Buccer.
The plan is to get this before the NACC first thing and nail Dutton’s involvement in the events surrounding the Lehrmann [non] Prosecution.
Remember, Sofronoff reports by July 31, Drumgold might get a gentle swipe, but the AFP will get mauled and once those guys get called before NACC, they’ll be on Oath to tell the truth.
Once Dutton’s outta the way, The Voice is a certainty, since he’s the only person stopping the Liberal Party from getting on board.
Yeah, Katy Gallagher will hafta go, but the ALP has a conga line of incompetents ready to replace her.
Days in, and finally the SMH breaks something.
I wonder what SportsBet would say?
Ed, you are totally dreaming, Drumgold backed down and that basically cruels any claim against the AFP. They were already on oath and slayed it or we would have heard about that from the love media incessantly.
Elbow told us that the NACC won’t be investigating the Higgins payout, that means the whole lot is off limits because it will be too hard now to corral away from the payout scandal without heaps of media and rehashing all the recordings.
Dutton is likely off scott free, the fact is that he probably never did anything wrong. We know the left always judge their opponents by their own behavioural standards.
Drumgold backed down …
No, he didn’t.
He was very careful not to mislead the Inquiry.
and that basically cruels any claim against the AFP.
Huh?
They were already on oath and slayed it
Ha ha. they certainly didn’t slay it, but let’s wait and see what the Inquiry finds.
… or we would have heard about that from the love media incessantly.
The love media are part of the problem, the last thing they wanna know is the truth.
Drumgold didn’t back down? the basis for the inquiry was his claim the afp was subject to political interference. He backed away. Look at the record of fantasy you provide as fact routinely here and at new cat. This is another example.
Drumgold got the cops on the stand and he had one of the sharpest blokes in the business asking them questions..
Moller denied telling Whybrow that the Executive Briefing wasn’t privileged, then Whybrow confirmed that he had told him that, unasked.
Yeah, Drumgold had a few problems about what he did or didn’t tell Lisa Wilkinson, but nobody cares about that anymore.
If you’d bothered to watch the livestream, I wouldn’t have to educate you.
No one cares, Drumgold is screwed, he triggered the inquiry then backed down. Whybrow and the afp out manoeuvred your sad corrupt team’s shenanigans and now the whole edifice is falling down and you’ve spent a couple of days crying in your beer here, backflipping and trying to convince yourself they’re not screwed.
C.L., Fiona Brown has a piece in The Strine on the Higgins saga. Behind a paywall.
