thanks for letting me know m8.   the legal sphere in wa is moderately small (probably about 2-3 degrees of separation) and porter has been practising in wa and federally for quite a while. not a lawyer but adjacent and you'd be surprised whose paths you cross. when i still drank i had more than a couple of beers with john mckechnie.    before he got put on trial himself he was investigated for the actions i've mentioned and found to be responsible for a number of cover ups of catholic priests diddling kids and getting moved around rather than facing justice. if that's not guilt by association i'm happy for you to explain to me what is.   i don't think he knows - he just likes to angrily argue with people here on whatever topic takes his fancy. it's be more fun if he knew what the fuck he was talking about more of the time tho.
