Good to to see The Australian Legal Affairs extensive coverage today of new twists in the Allan Kessing case in articles by Chris Merritt. The headlines say it all:
Kessing's conviction 'tainted';
Whistleblower rolled by jugernaut; and
A pardon for Kessing is not enough.

And yet.. and yet.. the silence from the govt is deafening. the ONLY comment since Sept 7th was "a spokesperson said mr Albanese's office dealt with the matter properly." Not a word from either "side" since - hardly surprsing as they both have skin to lose. Rather like the Sherlock Holmes' sotry "The Dog that Didn't Bark."
