Society & Culture The curious case of Ashleigh Petrie

[Catfish Alley]

I can understand the courts decision. It's not their role to play Robin Hood and it shouldn't matter if he's well off. Bit of a low act by him but not an illegal one.

So he couldnt just not be a utter greedy campaigner and let the mum have it?
Nothing to do with what the court did or didnt decide.
All to do with him being a greasy greedy old pervy campaigner!

Unfortunately you're spot on, the role of the court is to uphold the law, which they've done. He had legitimate claim to the super, even if it's morally bankrupt to actually pursue said claim.

Lots of people signing the petition. Hope the decision is overturned.

Let's hope so.

From the article on the previous page...

"Within months of the young woman’s death, Mr Higgins returned to his partner of 18 years, Lurline Le Neuf, whom he’d left earlier that year to be with Ms Petrie. They share a riverfront home in Shepparton."

You’d hope someone like that also ends up getting fatally struck by a car.

And THIS campaigner is a judge.
**** me dead.

fu** me dead.

Yep, wonder how much he spent on legal fees contesting the will? Probably had a lawyer mate do it pro bono for him, while mum just has to cop it.

****ing pig.

Bloke sounds like a massive campaigner, morally arseh*le, read somewhere the chief magistrate might step in and prevent him from being a reserve magistrate which would cost him lots of $$$ apparently

About $1,350 per shift the story said from memory.

Yep thats sounds right, f him what a total asshat and prick, and how’s the women he left then went back to?
Really feel the mum, loses a daughter then has this prick do this..

 

[Perth gal]

How’s his partner that took him back. $&*( me some women are pathetic.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

There's reporting now that he probably won't be welcomed back as a casual when he retires from full time work. Reported that once he retired, he would have had to work for 2 days per week for a year to make that $180k that he's getting from her super.

How did he have a claim as a dependant if they had only been together a couple of months?

De facto with no children is 12 months living together ?

A very sad tale. It may not have been illegal but it’s not a great look.

More grubs in the courts than in the outback.

 

[raskolnikov]

I'd never seen this thread before. What a bizarre one. And what an absolute grub that judge is. $180,000 doesn't seem like much recompense for having the whole world hate you.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I haven't seen it, but reported he was on A Current Affair last night defending his actions by saying, 'authorities said I 100% deserve it.'

So a grub and a coward. Won't even own his decision, hides behind the faceless, 'authorities.
