New Corp's Charles Miranda's tanty over some bogus copyright hypocrisy

For the purposes of copyright fair dealing, in this case for ‘review and criticism’. Bugger off! We regurgitate an image of Charles Miranda below.

Now the Chas dude in the image montage below is the older one – in the middle between our Julian Knight (left) and a rather scary ‘knife-in-pocket-looking’ Belgian (right), who actually resides in Antwerp, Belgium – funnily enough.

**Coward media can surely dish it out but such cry babies when unable to take retort backlash. They’re so ‘sheltered workshop’ dedicates!**

The reason we raise the matter of Chas’ “tanty over some bogus copyright hypocrisy” is that one of our own of The Knighthood, which oversees this herein website (julianknight.com.au) has copped extortionate email threats and bogus accusations from the scary looking one (right) since August 2025. Our own being Philip Reed, (no relation) who’s contact email address is on this website: philipreed@julianknight.com.au.

We regurgitate those received emails below in this article and we are not about to give the sender any courtesy of reply, but only on this website.

Mr Charles Miranda is one of the aged columnists of the Melbourne’s Herald-Sun newspaper who spends his life vilifying Julian Knight since 1987 to spiel and perpetuate antagonistic gossip about Julian and so get paid to do so by his tabloid boss News Corp Australia. Miranda is quoted as condemning Julian Knight as “the nation’s most evil man“…

We regurgitate Miranda’s quote… for review and criticism of course:

We’ve had run ins with one Mr Miranda.

Many photos of arrested/incarcerated Julian Knight, following his Hoddle Street shooting spree in 1987, were taken and published by the media and reproduced subsequently by other competition media many dozens of times over the past nearly four decades – in print, television and online.

Hey Chas, check our regurgitated lot!

On this website we have full permission to use photos of Julian Knight.

Yet, none of these photos had Mr Julian Knight’s permission for publishing by the hatefully biased media! Nor did they have Mr Julian Knight’s permission for republishing so repeatedly by various media outlets over the past four decades.

So, Julian would have a right to reciprocate sue for damages for the perhaps millions of copyright breaches of how many media newspaper editions? What say claim a nominal $10 per image published per edition? That could make him a multi-millionaire at the media’s chagrin.

Charles Miranda dummy spitting over copyright is akin to some media pack mentality that corporate media giants AP, AAP, News Corp, Fairfax, Nine Entertainment have been otherwise happy to share of the same images with the likes of The Guardian and the ABC, et al, so long as same consistently comply with pursuing the Liberal Party’s hate narrative campaign against imprisoned Julian.

Yet, tanty tanty – as soon as the media cop retort backlash from a counter source ‘The Knighthood’ in Julian’s defence – the media pack scream blue murder and attempt to legally claim ‘copyright breach!’ Friggen give over! Give up all the hypocrisy and hissy fitting, media boys!

We highlight the basis for our reviews and criticisms of the media’s vindictive bias against of Julian Knight from the top:

How To Properly Deal With A Visual Rights Group Copyright Unlicensed Image Letter

Political Prisoner in Victoria since 2014

This is the official website of Australian Soldier* Julian Knight.

Julian Knight, having duly served 27 years sentence in 1988 by the Supreme Court of Victoria’s for his immediately confessed mass crime, in 2014 unelected politician Denis Napthine usurped the judiciary and illegally imposed indefinite detention. Instantly in 2014 Julian Knight became not a criminal, but a political prisoner of the Victorian Government No. 49821 held at Port Phillip Prison | formerly Army Corps of Staff Cadet No. 5266 at the Royal Military College Duntroon | formerly Australian Army Reserve Trooper No. 3204059.

*Soldier: We consider the title of Soldier to be a noble profession the moment a civilian signs up to serve Country, followed by training, experience and sacrifice in battle. So we duly grammatise it with a capital ‘S’. ADF personnel (whether a ‘Soldier’, ‘Sailor’, ‘Aircrew’, or any other ADF role, from Day 1 to serve their country (Australia) instantly becomes a special member of our vital Australian Defence Force.

From Day 1 sign-up, each Army recruit deserves this capital title ‘Soldier’ despite pre-trained, pre- experienced, pre-active service, pre-medal recipient, pre-veteran, pre-wounded, pre-KIA.

Such military ‘sign up’ is so much a distinct and a higher calling that most other professions / trades.

Let no person who has ever ‘signed up to serve their country‘ ever hold any doubt of their rare courage to serve. We Australians as CIVVY citizens hold a profound civilian duty to respect and be proud of what these relative few committed souls put their lives in harm’s way and continue to champion and protect our fortunate way of life in Australia. They proudly follow in the legacy of our forebears of similar ilk who hard-fought and sacrificed.

Sadly increasingly these are forgotten brave heroes. History repeats. Sadly, negative and dangerous mis-training of those so committed risks outcomes like Hoddle Street (1987) and Full Metal Bullet (1987). Both a bully bad year of Soldier negative recruitment training.
