Getting let off on a DUI is not ok .... But using a credit card on hookers is all fine then ?

depends on whose credit card...... aledgedly (unless it has been finally proven, in which case, remove the aledgedly

May set a precedent, but the average Joe isn't going to be able to get Brandis to intimidate the magistrate

What evidence do have for this claim that Brandis intimidated the magistrate

How did he use a credit card on them? Swipe it?

Good question.
I haven't yet met a magistrate who would not react very negatively to any attempt to intimidate.
(I know a few socially these days.)

My barrister mate who helped me out with the speeding charge was quite clear that a persuasive, softly softly, approach was the only way to go.
He was very careful to not even appear to criticise the police involved any any direct way, despite some inaccuracies in their report.
(He did get the one giving evidence to contradict himself with gentle polite questioning.)

His comment to me was that most magistrates have a left bias, which is why they take on the job when they could earn more money elsewhere, and are usually inclined to react against any direct challenge to a police officer's version of events. He said my status as a "Yuppie" in a Porsche would definitely be inclined to create a bias against me and would need careful handling.

(For the very young "Yuppie" was a 1980s term for "young, upwardly mobile, professional".)

Modern proximity cards may trigger even if you don't even touch them.

Well he obviously didn't intimidate the Magistrate. But he did write Credlin a reference.

I can see it now....

"Hi, I'm the conservative religious nutter that won the election."
"Oh hi. I'm the conservative religious nutter who lost it. I've left some policies on asylum seekers and single mums in the study if you need them."

Well done to the poster involved in getting rid of probably the most evil member of parliament.
