ASK LINDSAY TANNER TO PAY
A point not explored in this piece on the Hollingworth case is that Hollingworth and the Anglican Church are likely to seek costs from the law firm that represented Annie Jarmyn. Considering the number of lawyers involved on the Hollingworth side - ABC news radio reported yesterday that they couldn’t all fit on the same bench, or table, or whatever - these costs could be seriously good. I mean, seriously big. Yes, big is what I meant.
Posted by Tim Blair at May 24, 2003 03:35 PMI know nothing about this case or the people involved, but has anyone at any of Australia's outstanding newspapers performed the Journalism 101 act of attempting to find any other evidence that Hollingworth was at this summer camp, ever-- such as anyone else who remembers him, or any reason to believe that he could have had ANY connection to it then or would have been likely to work there? At least the women who alleged such things about Bill Clinton could show how they knew him before it came down to he-said she-said.

Does this mean you support someone can allege they were raped by someone but not have the guts to make it public.
you also support someone in high places can put a suppression order on a suppression order?
Yes I can see how a 'conservative' can support that!

The overwhelming weight of evidence supported his contention that he was not. Salivating Aussie Media Lefties my arse, it only shows you don't read the papers.
2. Hollingworth and the Anglican Diosces of Bendigo and Ballarat both indicated at Friday's hearing they would not be seeking costs from the Jarmyn family.
