My word, even leaving aside the wrongheadedness of the judgement, that's an interesting precedent, isn't it? He grew up when such behaviour was normal so it's ok?

Horrible judgment.
Haha, my God. Can't believe he's hiding behind the whole 'I grew up with it' bollocks. Stuff like that has never been acceptable. Either the judge fell a massive con-job or is sympathetic.

Or just thick.

Yeah, as Brumby said, whatever your opinion on such terminology, the reason for his acquittal seems to be akin to ignorance.

That's an absolute disgrace, seriously.

Lol. Was reading the thread and wondering what the words were, thought it might be something a bit borderline. That's obscene if true. Kind of thing that's quite often misreported though.

Aussie larrikin mate. That's all. These charges, just political correctness gone mad. Nothing to see here. Move on.

In Adelaide, imperial pints (same size as yours) of your average beer go for $10.

Yikes. Pretty sure you can get them around $5 here.
