The ABC brings word that the fraudulent mortgage broker Kelvin Skeers has succeeded in getting his sentencing moved from the hard-nosed Magistracy to the potentially more merciful Supremes because of reporting in the Canberra Times.
- “Today Skeers’ lawyer raised concern that a recent Canberra Times article, which included allegations about his client, could influence the magistrate hearing the matter.
He made a request that Skeers be sentenced in the Supreme Court, which was granted.”
So now we know Supreme Court Justices don’t read the paper?
