Unionist, John Setka has lost a key plank in his defamation case against the PM. Can we hear a collective sigh for the poor man? Hahahahaha #auspol #BSWNBPM #sameoldlabor #springst #unioncorruption -The Court of Appeals Chief Justice Marilyn Warren and Justices David Ashley and Simon Whelan ruled against Mr Setka, the CFMEU Victorian secretary, on Tuesday after he had tried to have part of Mr Abbotts defence against the defamation action struck out. Mr Abbott is arguing a truth defence, pointing out Mr Setka had been accused of threats and intimidation for more than two decades, and that he had convictions for contempt of court, intimidation and wilful trespass dating back to 1988... ...Mr Setkas lawyers were given until Friday to file written submissions on the issue of paying Mr Abbotts legal costs. The defamation case is expected to return to the Supreme Court for trial at a later date.- I wonder if the CFMEUs members realise it will be their fees that pay for Setkas defence and if he loses outright, will pay all court costs. smh.au/federal-politics/political-news/court-of-appeal-rules-against-john-setka-in-defamation-case-against-tony-abbott-20141118-11ov4s.html#ixzz3JUgWX2en
