Who do you trust? A politician? Or a Coroner?

I think the person really at blame here is god. Without the lightning none of this debarcle would have occurred. Plus we can blame him for pestilence, bindi-eyes and midgets who walk with a limp.

Maria Doogan is a very nice, learned and honest lady. Standope is a lying maggot. Doogan is ahead by miles in my book. She is one of the few members of the judiciary in this town that get my respect

never trust a pollie!!

Coroner. They got their job by the merits of their experience and qualifications. There is no CIT course in Politicianship. They are also accountable for their actions, Politicians are merely accountable to their constituency at the next election.

Can anyone fill me in on an agenda that the coroner might have that might influence their report? It was clear that Doogan had taken exception to the litigation against her and the delays that it caused. She even went so far as to include pictures of the rally in support of her (or against the litigation) in the report. That was really, from my point of view anyway, the only personal agenda that seemed to be present in the report.

I tuned in to the whole Doogan as Coroner on the 2003 Fires thing a little late, so did I miss her agenda?

We all know that the politicians have an agenda – get reelected.

The public servants also have an agenda – keep their job, or protect the job that they did.

Fine, and your answer is?

Or perhaps I could say that I dislike some things the courts do but still trust judges more than I do any professional politician?

Did anyone say courts were always spot on? I just asked who people have more trust in.

So there’s really no contradiction at all and I begin to wonder about the motivations of our newest commenter?

If this question goes to trust in the courts, and it does, will those who follow this post reconsider their views on the adaquacy of the courts’ record on, for eg, sentencing? Can’t have it both ways; courts are either spot on, or not.
