I'd like to discuss my utter contempt of Supreme Court judge Betty King.
You stupid, stupid woman!
You ban the TV show Underbelly, probably knowing full well that it would get into the wider Victorian community. (Actually she's probably so out of touch she would have no idea).
I read about the Underbelly TV show in New Idea and TV Week for fuck's sake. Did you ban them?? What about the book that the show is based on, is that banned? No, I can walk into any bookshop in the state and pick up a copy, you absolute moron!! Now you've banned a Today Tonight interview with Judy Moran and Barbara Williams, while at the same time saying "I don't know what's in it, but I don't imagine it's going to be edifying or pleasant or anything else - one thing it is not going to be, it is not going to be relevant." But fuck me I'll ban it anyway. She added "Being the queen of banning things, it is, obviously, my role," Justice King told the trial's jury today before imposing the ban. Getting a bit carried away with yourself aren't you Betty? How about you concentrate on the role of being a good judge and stop trying to make a name for yourself?

There wouldn't be a person in Australia who wouldn't have seen Underbelly if they wanted to.
Shit, even my mum broke the law by watching pirated copies! You may well have been able to do this when the "Blue Murder" mini series came out in the early 90's before the digital age took off but now? No way!
As you rightly pointed out Bowie, if you wanted to you could learn al about the movie withouit even seeing it but this judge must think that the jurors in this case are morons who can't read.
The real loser here is Channel 9 who've lost any chance of getting any ratings value in Victoria which would have been it's biggest market.
By the way - Carl Williams did it!
I thought Nana Mouskouri had retired, but here I see her on the front page of the sun banning "Underbelly" which is by far and away the best local show ever broadcast on Australian TV. This pompous old slapper aught to be reined it before she does some severe damage, she's clearly about as in touch with reality as Hitler in mid 1945.
Also another point, how can a judge create her own motions, I thought someone had to serve her with an order to rule on, not just do it herself. Secondly if it is this easy to ban a Tv show for a judge why do judges always hide behind the "I can only give them that much by the law" when they give rapists and murderers clearly inadequate sentences.
The law is an ass!!
