   No. They falsely accused a decorated hero of war crimes and murder and he only gets 390K?

   $3mill for some bird wearing no knickers chasing a bloke down the halls of Parliament House with her shoes in her hands at 3am in the morning.

   Awarded to the knickerless bird by a political party rather than by the judiciary, but yeah, the imbalance of that is stark. And ugly.

   Said political party could intervene to go in some way further restore justice to Heston by rebuking the ABC, not holding my breath.

   Oh I’m sure the totally independent NACC will be on to that payoff in a jiffy.

   Of course.

   I mean it’s not as though it is something really serious, like a Liberal premier’s aide accepted a free bottle of champers on his behalf.

   But he was not satisfied the publication was motivated by any improper intention.

   I regard the relentless framing of Australia’s combat soldiers as war criminals as an improper intention.

   On a related matter. After four years of the Brereton investigation and now almost three years of the Office of the Special Investigator with tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars spent, there is still only one charge and no convictions. Still no charge of BRS, even though a civil trial found him ‘guilty’.

   This whole affair has become an absolute farce and utterly unfair to those poor souls being persecuted.

   Hahahahaha! Not with Paul Brereton in charge of the circus!

    It was a bottle of Grange Hermitage valued at $3,000 [at that time].
    Perhaps O’Farrell resigned for other reasons, and that bottla plonk was a convenient excuse?

    He probably used in in that night’s spag bog, but was too embarrassed to admit it.

    Entropy, I remember hearing at the time that is essentially the deal because apparently, he and his wife didn’t really drink much and so wine had no real significance to them.

    Sounds like Russell didn’t cover himself with glory in the witness box otherwise damages might have been much higher.Judge rejected all of his evidence.

    Well, heading up the Australian Values Party while defining himself as a FudgePacker kinda screams FLAKE.
    Hopefully he hasn’t been awarded Costs and ends up owing his lawyers money.

    Hard to believe a vindicated Commando Veteran could be treated like this
