Yesterday we had the extraordinary explanation from Christian Porter that some ( most??) of the legal fees incurred when he sued the ABC was paid by a trust and he claims he does not know the people involved. See HERE for an explanation.
Porter is thus owing a debt to people who helped him out of a large financial hole. Malcolm Turnbull completes the rest for us.
Porter sued the ABC believing the antiquated libel law which HE did not reform would enable a large financial compensation. However once he learned of their defence he folded like a pack of cards. Much worse he ensured with the court's help no-one would learn of their defence. We can only assume it was devastating.
He is now in debt to unknown people ( does anyone really believe he not know who they are) for a very poor decision. The question is of course whether any of these people will ever call in their debt ??
The ABC should be reviewing which people of the law they pay. clearly they paid out money they did not need to given its defence.
