The high profile Melbourne businessman has been found guilty of rape, yet the suppression order which was meant to expire after the verdict remains in place.

Now it's because he might appeal, or that he might self harm or face psychological damage.

He was found guilty of rape!

Once again, the Victorian court system is demonstrating that who you are matters, and buying the best lawyers gets you anonymity.

(NB - the Herald Sun also highlight that 2 forms of DNA evidence in the case were ruled out by the judge, resulting in a he said/she said trial, where the judge also let the victims behaviour to police in a 2019 drink driving case be used to besmirch her reputation. Nothing to see here.......)

@Infoseepage It also produces a significant portion of the world's helium supply, and that's a long term problem for things like silicon chip problem.

(It also demonstrates how much gas goes through the facility - when you have ppm/ppb helium, and can produce a significant part of the world supply as a result).

Also, the north field where the gas is drawn from is shared with Iran, and there's a long term game of sucking out each other's reserves, so it's probably Iran making a statement - if we can't process from this gas field you can't either.

@anon_opin Can I admit I don't know my em-dash from my en-dash from my hyphen? I'd guess the hyphen is this -, and one if the dashes is this _, but the third?

@hl Mr (now) 9 lost a tooth that fell out, so I got him to write a letter to the tooth fairy, and have a nice memento as a result.

Six days later he finds the tooth, and conspiratorially tells me he's going to put it out for the tooth fairy, as they won't know it was the lost tooth.

There's no winning in this situation, so the tooth fairy stumped up cash both times.

Scientific paper of the year.
