Bombers 1. accused of asking Mick Gatto to help fix doping mess and 2. covering up Medicare fraud

If you tell someone to get off your front lawn or you'll call the cops - you're demand is warranted.


Remember that bloke who strapped a fake bomb to himself and kidnapped his mate's daughter for ransom? They didn't get him for blackmail!

Even worse, is when people eat rice with a fork.

I mean dude, use a spoon.

well, to be criminally charged you need to have, in fact, committed a crime.

So according to you, what crime had Hird or any of the others committed, exactly?

Crimes against football, crimes against coaching, certainly crimes against common sense

 

[BradFulham]

In SA it is. Unless it can be proven to be of public interest

From Here

In Queensland, Victoria and WA, if a secret recording is published or shared with anyone else then the person who made the secret recording can face jail time (up to two years) and huge fines.

The only exceptions are if everyone consents, if it is part of legal proceedings or if it is in the public interest or for the protection of your legal rights.

If you are considering making a recording for the purposes of some sort of anticipated or current legal proceeding (such as a family law matter with your ex-spouse, or unfair dismissal proceedings against your employer) you should always seek legal advice first.

Even if it may be legal under the law, the courts may not look favourably upon your actions and it may not always be supportive evidence for your case.

The argument can be made EFC got legal advice

That's not right. Firstly it is not illegal in anyway in Victoria to covertly record a conversation if you are a party to that conversation and you are operating the recording device. Secondly it is not illegal to record a phone call IF you are a party to that call. In either case, it does NOT require the consent of the other party. It is only illegal to INTERCEPT a call (ie. by a third party who is not party to the call) without a warrant.

Receiving legal advice or not prior to making the recording is irrelevant. Dont believe everything you read in the paper - especially a canberra paper.

 

[BradFulham]

But was it before or after the recording got made?

its irrelevant

 

[BradFulham]

And injecting players with experimental drugs isn't? Sorry Lance, but these men were made fallguys while everyone else got paid holidays, pay outs and new jobs, or pithy fines (talking about staff here) or still ON staff.

The clubs have a contractual obligation to advise the AFL integrity unit of anything that might impact on the club or the AFL. So they were obliged to report the conduct of Wallis and Elliott Snr to the AFL

I understand you are stating a position but the irony of Essendon running to the Integrity Unit makes me giggle

The article said nothing about the illegality of recording. Just the concerns that could be raised over publishing a recording taken without permission

Last five pages.......I'm out of my element.

I believe this was the highly compact and secret tape device used in the cafe'

And I actually preferred TDK tapes, not BASF.

Maxell XL 11's were the bootleggers tape of choice...If buying for my old "Sound 4" cassette deck the SKCs would suffice or the cheap Chinese crap knock offs that almost looked like TDKs iirc TDJs or TCKs lol.

Crimes against football, crimes against coaching, certainly crimes against common sense

I can't wait for someone to get sentenced for crimes against common sense. Half the QLD population will be placed into jail for voting One Nation.

The PED stuff has been dealt with. The players have done their time.

This is blackmail. And apart from labelling it despicable as an afterthought you can't seem to focus on anything else than Evil Essendon.

How was Elliot made a scapegoat? His father just wanted to make a buck out of it

I guess that when there is plenty of money/ new jobs/ AFL pension plans and yours hasn't come up after 4 years, you start to get a bit antsy about having missed the bus?

Most of it is just adding icing to stale old cake we've been mouthing on - the email bit was new though.

That could be a bit of a problem for someone(s) if it gets tested in court and holds up.

Maybe it will all be over by this time next year?

Parking a kia in toorak?

After all the legal billsand burning bridges with the well healed I don't think he can afford to live Toorak any more.

The Kia should be right at home in East Keilor. Come to think of it the Kia keys were taken back the day he wasfrog marched out of Tulla.

Again, nothing illegal in Victoria about publishing such a recording. Indeed it's done fairly regularly.

So what was it?

 

[DERO]

So what was it?

According to 7, someone representing the club approached Gatto and the Little quashed it.

No money changed hands and we are left with a couple of disgruntled ex-employees who thought they could use it to their advantage. Pretty disappointing really.
