Such rationale is presumptive, mostly assertive and made on both erroneous and otherwise very irrelevant grounds – indeed legalese bunkum and waffle! We’ve noted this in previous legal arguments by the Crown against Mr Knight’s cases he has brought.
So here, the Victorian Legal Aid has made a cost-benefit decision, not a considered legal one, nor addressed Mr Knight’s arguments. Instead, it has sided its decision with its funding masters, the Commonwealth and Victorian governments.
This smells of political corruption.
In 2014, unelected Liberal Party Premier of Victoria, Denis Napthine, (serving between 6 March 2013 and 4 December 2014) initiated an unprecedent hate legislation specifically against only Mr Knight during the time of the lead up to Mr Knight’s eligibility for parole.
