    I can’t abide Hunt, Sukkar or Tudge but as MPs they’re perfectly entitled to express their views, & journalists are entitled to report them.

        Not when it's still before the courts. They can express their views after the matter is decided, but probably should read the ratio first.

        The issue is that the court is not permitted to defend itself; that would be political.

        Where is the line of being contemptuous of court?

        Not when it's in contempt of court, and not when it's a patent attempt to influence the outcome.

        All these turkeys needed to do was await the decision, and their comments would have gone from unlawful to merely disgraceful.

        Unless those views constitute accusation that the court is negligent in its duties without cause, sure.

        But are they allowed to claim political bias in judges' decisions?

        Perhaps courts should have a PR agency to explain decisions. "We gave him X years because XYZ."

        Their opinion is contemptuous of judicial process, Judiciary, condoning breaking the law & using detainees as political capital #auspol

        Err wrong. Contempt laws exist to protect the independence of the judiciary and to protect public confidence in the judicial system.#auspol

        Bernard is right, and you should re-read Kirby P's judgement in BLF No.2 if you disagree - the Parl intervened while a case was in progress!
