The Aussie government literally makes it illegal to publish the name of convicted high ranking member of the world's largest pedophile ring.
1 2018-12-12 by TUMS_FESTIVAL
It's a day of the week ending in "y", so yet another member from the Religion of Consensual Sex Between Adults has been convicted of kiddie diddling. But in a surprise twist, the Aussie government does the logical thing in upside down land and literally makes it illegal to publish the guy's name.
Here's a news article that is totally normal to see in a first world democracy.
[And the locked /r/Australia post...](why_the_media_is_unable_to_report_on_a_case_that)
In a completely unexpected twist in this era of the internet, the news is still available everywhere. Hence, this /r/news post.
Again, I cannot stress enough how very legal and very cool all of this is.

I like to think that everyone shitty on the Left is just a troll account created and maintained by Barron Trump, attempting to use his mammoth brain to make centrists vote Daddy 2020. Because if these people actually exist, and have these strange opinions that so many people supposedly might have, then I'll have to actually vote for Daddy, given he's the option most likely to put these fucking people in camps.
But I'm wise to you, Barron: you'll never actually make me vote.

Yes, it's a good thing the conviction of Cardinal George Pell for sexually abusing little boys isn't already international news.
1 ObnoxiousFactczecher 2018-12-12
You mean the CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER CARDINAL GEORGE PELL?
1 Thatlookedlikeithurt 2018-12-12
Wait, are we talking about the His Eminance, Prince of the Church, Cardinal George Pell, who was recently convicted for fucking children
1 wisty 2018-12-12
No he hasn't been convicted for that, but there is going to be a trial and they don't want him to claim that widespread talk about a conviction for other types of kiddy fiddling might somehow prejudice the jury.
1 FreeeJaredFogle 2018-12-12
How dare the Australian government stop you from tainting ongoing trials of defendants by prohibiting you from spreading their names around until the trial is concluded. HELP, SOMEBODY CALL JA RULE
1 snallygaster 2018-12-12
Isn't this sort of thing exactly what people are asking for when they say that the way that the judicial system treats sex crimes should be reformed? I honestly don't see a problem with it at all.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
No...? He was convicted. Not simply charged.
1 pisserpatterwater 2018-12-12
Like seriously, they're trying to prevent him from being able to get off scot-free by claiming the jury was biased.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
Yes, because it worked very well. I have no idea that Cardinal George Pell was convicted of raping little boys.
1 FreeeJaredFogle 2018-12-12
Because this rule only applies to specifically Cardinal Pell? Are you a what they call a "poorly educated bogan"?
1 Ardvarkeating101 2018-12-12
He's already convicted, lost the appeal.
1 Nomiss 2018-12-12
He's still going to be facing covering.up kiddy fiddling charges.
1 TehAlpacalypse 2018-12-12
There are other cases in progress. They want to nail him to the wall
1 someaustralian 2018-12-12
They don’t want his lawyers making the argument that he’s “suffered enough through the media gauntlet”.

"Hey, this guy may have raped 15 kids, but hasn't the media lambasted him enough?"
Fuck that, with media cycles these days, this guy will be out of the news by Friday.
1 watermarx06 2018-12-12
It's the defense lawyers duty. They often find themselves having to defend really unsavory people, and it's their duty to do so to their utmost degree (literally if they did not, they would be committing an ethical breach). So they often find themselves truly turd polishing in terms of arguments when they're defending a real piece of shit. The system relies on this though and wouldn't work without them. The jury if it's not retarded though will see the piece of shit.

1 TehAlpacalypse 2018-12-12
If his name is public knowledge he can end up scot free from not getting a fair trial
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
It is public. His name is George Pell.
1 andrehsu 2018-12-12
I don't get why you're being so outraged over this. Would you rather that he gets off scots-free for the sexual abuses that he has committed?
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
He has already been convicted so he's not getting off scot free...
1 andrehsu 2018-12-12
There are other trials that are pending, as multiple other commenters have pointed out. So the question is, would you rather him be convicted of less crimes than what he deserves?
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
Lol I'm not sure how keeping his conviction a """""secret"""" means he gets him off for other crimes. Maybe it makes sense in the upside land where they huff gasoline.
And you didn't even realize he had been convicted already, did you? You've got no idea what's going on or what you're talking about.
1 andrehsu 2018-12-12
Because that means it helps prevent the defense from arguing that there is a mistrial because the jury is tainted before the trial.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
And that's a stupid rule to have because it will never work. Like in this case.
1 andrehsu 2018-12-12
It works because your average juror isn't going around the internet looking for the name of the convicted priest they didn't know exist.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
I feel like maybe the internet works differently in Australia. Do none of you read or watch the news online? Do you have Google?
Or can you not even download whole articles on your shitty little 5Kbs connections? Because if that's the case, once you guys catch up to where the rest of the civilized world was 20 years ago, you might wanna think about making some changes.
1 andrehsu 2018-12-12
Dude, I'm neither an Aussie nor do I live in Austrailia. I'm just someone with common sense, which seems like something that you lack.

Yes, serious posting on /r/drama is something many smart and intellectually gifted people do. This is definitely the time and place to brag.
1 fromparish_withlove 2018-12-12
How do you not understand that there are ongoing cases? The suppression order is lifted when everything is complete. This is so they can ensure he pays for his crimes..
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
So you're saying all his defense attorney needs to do is leak his clients conviction to get him off on his upcoming trials? You don't see anything immensely stupid with this thought process?
It might be a debate if the suppression order actually had any reasonable chance of working, but no one with an ounce of sense would expect that info to stay under wraps. And it didn't. Surprise!
1 fromparish_withlove 2018-12-12
What? How the fuck am I saying that?
The suppression order doesn't have to ensure that every person in the world doesn't hear about the case. That would be as retarded as your posts. It has to prevent a trial by media, which it is doing at least somewhat effectively. The difference between you, the average aspergers /r/drama poster hearing about it, and the huge proportion of the population that won't hear much about it due to the suppression order is significant.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
You might literally be retarded if you don't see how.

Seriously though, you Aussies are apparently brain dead from huffing all that gasoline.
1 fromparish_withlove 2018-12-12
It's almost impressive the shit-hoops you jump through to form your idiotic opinions. If you don't understand that keeping something out of the local news cycle reduces the possibility of any jury bias then I doubt you operate very well in every day life. The fact you're so worked up over a suppression order that will be lifted when he is out of court is just fucking weird, to be honest.
1 TUMS_FESTIVAL 2018-12-12
Look, I'm sorry Australia is a silly country with silly laws, but you don't have to take it out on me for pointing that out.
And sure, you'll never get back those brain cells you killed by huffing gasoline, but there's still some left that you can save. Just say no to the petrol.
1 fromparish_withlove 2018-12-12
It's like you don't understand gag orders are commonplace for different reasons all over the world, no matter how many people point it out to you.

I am quite aware of that by looking at articles from outside aussie news, but for the sake of the prosecution it's best not to repeat his name.

1 UrMumsMyPassword 2018-12-12
I'm a bit jealous of Americans. It doesn't matter much of a pathetic failure you are, you can always fall back on the accomplishments of better men. But how do you reconcile the fact that those men would string you up by your neck if given the chance? 🤔
1 AdwokatDiabel 2018-12-12
There is a distinct copycat effect with mass shootings. Many mass shooters are people disconnected and dissatisfied with western secular living, and get two main benefits from killing people:
Problem is, the US has this whole 1st Amendment thing which prevents government suppression of their names and details. Sure, news organizations can take a pact to work together to suppress those details, but all it takes is one entity to break the strike line and spill the beans.
BUT, I personally believe if we can suppress both the shootings, and their names, it will lead to a huge drop in these incidents actually occurring.
1 watermarx06 2018-12-12
I've often thought that if you could somehow ban people from reporting on terrorist attacks, the motivation for them would disappear overnight. Because the point is mainly just to frighten the enemy, it's not a tactic that has the ability to actually win a war on its own.
Like Palestine isn't going to suicide bomb Israel into oblivion, but suicide bombings can cause such fear and agitation among the Israel public that it brings the government to the negotiation table. Or forces them to crack down on the Palestinians, which serves just as well for the terrorists purposes since it will inevitably have negative side effects for the civilian population and drive the moderates into the arms of the extremists. The fact that it spreads through the media widely overnight, allows it to serve its actual military purpose. It is actually more of an information attack than a traditional military one.
If news were totally suppressed, it would be totally pointless and be like a mosquito bite that hardly did any real damage to the nation.

The last time America tried supress anything toilet wine and grape bricks became a thing.
I'd rather not have gun bricks and toilet shootings.
If 1 and 2 are really the reasons, then the real solution is bullying. Which coincidentally gets proven by the rise of mass shootings alongside the "stop bullying" shit happening.
1 AdwokatDiabel 2018-12-12
You're saying bullying suppression is correlated to mass shootings? Interesting... Can you elaborate?
1 aef823 2018-12-12
The entire stop bullying campaign was founded because of the columbine shooting
I'm too damn lazy to look up mass shooting statistics, but considering the media boner for "school shootings on the rise" I'm going to assume that a type of mass shooting rising means the entire area is rising in general.
1 AdwokatDiabel 2018-12-12

The right to a public trial would imply they could choose to have a private one. The public trial part is intended to prevent the government from shadily convicting people, not shadily letting them go free.
1 Pro_Extent 2018-12-12
Yes, because the government is the only entity that ever does anything wrong and public mobs can always be trusted to get all the facts before acting rashly.
I'd say burgers have their priorities fucked by putting freedom above justice, but that isn't even logically correct seeing as corrupted justice impedes freedom more than basically anything else.

Rake. It's a show about a lawyer's struggles to deal with his cocaine and alcohol abuse all while being an utter bastard to everyone. It's funny as fuck and actually based off a real lawyer who helped write a few episodes. It is the only good piece of TV Australia has ever made.
If you work in the government or hate it then you'll probably like Utopia but the Australian version.
Hamish and Andy is about two idiot comedians who go overseas and attempt to find one of them a girlfriend.
https://youtu.be/Yww7vOqlUe8
If you enjoy cringe worthy stereotypes under the guise of comedy like that makes it ok then anything Chris Lilley made will do you fine.
Or if you're really fucked up just watch Burke's Backyard and realise the softly spoken gardener is actually a sexual predator.
Anyway the problem is that roughly half of all TV Australia has ever produced revolves this event in WWI when someone gave us bad directions so we turned up to this incredibly heavily defended Turkish beach, had thousands die for like eight months and then we just left. They describe is as our coming of age as a nation but I don't really see it.

It's more complex than that. We operated under the British empire in WWI and after Gallipoli we operated with our own commanders. There are geniune stories that are actually inspirational including Simpson and his Donkey(s) who spent three and a half weeks at Gallipoli saving wounded soldiers.

He's already convicted, and lost appeal, now awaiting sentencing which doesn't involve juries whatsoever. I'm all for withholding names of the accused before conviction, but this is just the government protecting the reputation of the Catholic Church by trying to suppress the conviction of Cardinal Pell. Maybe you should be more concerned with rooting out chomos and protecting children than censoring the names of convicted felons.

Canada does this with juvenile offenders (anyone under 18). Of course American news can still report their names, and everyone reads American news, so it's completely useless.

I can't wait for his defence lawyers to start arguing mistrial, with good grounds, due to the jury being tainted by internet edgelords who think posting his name as much as possible is "sticking it to the man" instead of, yknow, helping a paedophile escape further charges.

Calm down there little buddy. So what if Australia is some backwoods shit hole with embarrassingly antiquated laws? As long as you have gasoline to huff you're gonna be A-OK.

Oof someone’s upset to realise their little “act of rebellion” might have unintended consequences. Laws may be antiquated, doesn’t mean you look anything but petulant shouting his name, and thinking you might achieve anything by it other than possibly helping a pedo escape further charges is pretty hilarious honestly. You’re either retarded, an actual teenage edgelord, or you’re trying to help mr pedo priest, and I’m not even sure which is worse.

Wow, I sure feel dumb for doubting your legal system now!

The government? It was a judge. Trying to protect the integrity of a second trial.

Not having Pell's face plastered on the side of every single newsagency in the country with some shitty pun about molestation is absolutely not causing people to know more about the case.
Contrary to popular belief among Australians on the internet, the vast majority of the country lives offline unless they're looking at facebook, most of which won't have international news in their feed.

Yeah, there's a number of reasons why his name won't be published. But the guys going to jail, will probably die there, and if he gets out will be on a register. So why do you need his name? Will that make you feel safer? Will you use that information in a constructive manner? Or do you just feel like flinging shit?
Comes across like I'm defending a pedophile, I'm not; I'm defending the Australian legal system. Like Mr Top-Comment said, there are upcoming legal proceedings and the publishing of his name may influence a further jury. If you think there's some patriarchal under-the-table freemason wink wink nudge nudge save me judge going on here, you may be stupid.

Okay which one of you autists know his name?
1 canipaybycheck 2018-12-12
It's an Australian cardinal of the Catholic Church.

The issue is a legal one. Please delete this post before it prejudices the upcoming trials that are coming for him. The alleged victims of those alleged crimes deserve justice too and you are risking screwing that up for them.

lol ok pedo

I assume you are a supporter of his since you're helping him to get out of the next charges, or bother to read the comment before replying paedo loving scum.
