Where white-collar crime meets a wet lettuce leaf
“It really does require a sentence to be imposed that will provide adequate deterrence to ensure that investors, who these days often are retired people who have no other means of earning a livelihood except for their investments … are adequately protected,” McLennan told a gobsmacked court.
Why is Andrew Bolt supplied the resources to vilify, stereotype, and negatively portray a would be Aussie lawyer?
"They had a clear one and it just looked normal but for us, a clear one is still shiny, it's not my fault I'm dark-skinned."

"The press has been very negative about the South Sudanese. It's very tough."
"We are the kids who are asked for our Mykis [payment cards] on the tram, who are questioned in shops when we go to browse and we are the girls who are stopped at night by the police when we walk down the street.
"We are getting treated unfairly all the time. I just can't keep quiet."

But the internet service providers– corporations such as Verizon and Comcast, were deeply unhappy about the neutrality, the liberty of the internet. They would like to charge MSNBC millions of dollars a year to deliver their news site to the public. What they have in mind is to create lanes on the internet– fast lanes and slow lanes.
It has been demonstrated that if a website takes a little longer than usual to download, readers simply close the page and go on to another site. So the sites slotted into the slow lane over time will lose all their readers.
And you get slotted in the slow lane because you cannot pay the millions for delivery of your site that MSNBC or Fox can.
In other words, fast lanes and slow lanes wipe out the diversity of the internet and deliver it into the hands of a few billionaires and of governments such as the Russian Federation, who can pay for a fast lane.
It would be as though all highways in the US cost $1,000 to get on each day, and if you couldn’t pay that, you’d have to use surface roads, service roads, and dirt roads to get where you are going. Billionaires could get on the highway because for a billionaire $1000 is chump change.
Murdoch's Trump support pays off
This is why Murdoch is so intent to have Tony Abbott back and the ABC diminished
Rupert Murdoch, the 86-year-old conservative mogul who heads Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, is attempting to reshape his sprawling media empire in a way that could vastly expand his role in U.S. political life.
Murdoch’s greatest asset in that endeavor is President Donald Trump, whom Murdoch has cultivated by serving as his informal adviser and giving him fawning coverage through his news outlets. That effort now appears to be bearing fruit.
Yesterday, the White House publicly signed off on a deal that would allow Murdoch to refocus his holdings on news programming, while Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took a step that would allow Murdoch to dramatically expand those holdings.
Together, those steps could lead to a future where Fox’s pro-Trump commentary is piped into local broadcast news stations across the country.

"It's all nonsense," he said. "There was a problem with our chief executive, over the year, isolated incidents." Former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes stepped down in 2016 after over 20 women accused him of sexual harassment, and News Corp paid $45 million in settlements related to those allegations. Upon his departure, Ailes was awarded a $40 million exit package.
Murdoch told Sky News TV, "As soon as we investigated he was out of the place in hours — well three or four days. And there has been nothing else since then." Murdoch
