The judge said she was concerned that the police defence suggested officers had formed a reasonable suspicion to strip-search Meredith based on “things like her demeanour, what was said outside the tent, and [the officers] recalling it was said outside the tent and not inside”.

“There is absolutely no evidence, unless you can take me to it and I’ve missed something,” Yehia said to Sexton.

“All I have is the officers’ statements that say either they don’t remember the search, or both that they don’t remember the search nor remember the lead plaintiff. In those circumstances, I’m just not sure how this could ever have proceeded in the way that it did with the initial pleadings.”

Yesterday Queensland became the last state in Australia to sign on to the decade-long Better and Fairer Schools Agreement (BFSA) with the Commonwealth.

It means every state is on track to hit the minimum funding levels recommended all those years ago.

But exactly when those levels will be reached, what was agreed to in order to land the deal and the other basic terms have not been released, leading to calls for greater transparency (more on that later).

Reminder that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is made up and the types don't matter

The perceived accuracy of test results relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[10] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not independent, and not being comprehensive.[11][12][13][14]

Despite him blowing the whistle on the egregious use of power by the Tax Office with an understanding that he was protected, he wasn’t. He’s been caught out by inadequate laws that purported to shield him, but instead lured him into a situation where he and his family has suffered for seven years.

Furness recommended the Nacc revisit the controversial decision, which had already been the subject of 900 complaints when she promised in June to inquire into the matter.

Following the inspector’s recommendation, the Nacc will now appoint an “independent eminent person” to deliberate afresh on a possible corruption investigation into robodebt.

The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.

If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop

The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a "proactive policing" policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio
