Andrew Bolt: Crazed witch-hunters won’t rest until Christian Porter is gone
For a foul mob of journalists and politicians, suspicion is enough to ruin Attorney-General Christian Porter and drive him out of his job.
What sick times. Crazed witch-hunters infest our media and our politics. Some of Wednesday’s press conference made me disgusted with journalists.
For them, suspicion is enough to ruin him. It’s already enough to force him to now take time off to get psychological help.
“The Attorney-General needs to be beyond reproach,” called out one. She added this was for “the court of public opinion”, not courts, to decide.
By that standard, none of us is now safe from being torn down by any wild allegation. Who needs courts? Needs proof?
Last year a mentally ill woman went to NSW police, claiming Porter raped her in 1988.
She never made a sworn statement, and later told police not to proceed. The next day she killed herself.
Second, beware agendas.
Malcolm Turnbull has co-operated extensively with the ABC in stories attacking the Liberal Party which dumped him as prime minister, and particularly ministers such as Porter.
On Tuesday, Turnbull went on the ABC again to demand Porter out himself. Worse, he five times hinted — as it seemed to me — Porter could be a killer, too.
“Now it’s said that (his accuser) suicided. Did she?” he demanded, claiming she’d died “just as she was about to sign the final witness statement”.
“I have a question mark in my own mind about the timing of it because it seems counterintuitive.”
What a disgusting smear. Far from dying “just as she was about to sign the final witness statement” accusing Porter, the accuser died after withdrawing her complaint.
Far from her death being “counterintuitive”, it was tragically predictable. She’d tried to kill herself several times before.
