Premier disappears after he is summoned to court for concealing treason and fraud!
MELBOURNE, Australia (PNN) - December 16, 2021 - Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has quietly ducked out of Melbourne after being summoned to appear at court on charges of “concealing treason”.
The charge was successfully filed with the Myrtleford Magistrates' Court and Andrews - or at least his legal representative - is listed to face the court on Friday at 9.30 am.
The revelations of the court hearing are likely to have at the very least annoyed the holidaying premier, whose spin doctors were contacted for comment by various media organizations on Tuesday.
Andrews simply fobbed off the pesky litigation, which comes amid several more pressing legal matters for the Andrews government.
The more interesting cases will be Ken Phillips and WorkSafe/HQ proceedings and then the SlugGate (ICook foods) court proceedings against (Professor Brett) Sutton and the health department.
The matters refer to WorkSafe's investigation into Andrews' disastrous hotel quarantine facilities, which contributed to the deaths of more than 800 Victorians, and the health department's closure of a catering company after a slug was planted by dodgy council staff.
It remains unclear where fascist Andrews has gone for his end-of-year break or is simply trying to avoid facing his accusers.
The last time the Victorian premier got away he ended up with a broken back, which put him off work for months.
On Friday, a legal representative acting on his behalf is expected to tune into the court hearing via video link due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns within Victoria's injustice system.
The private prosecution had reportedly been rejected from several Victorian courts before finally being put into the criminal justice stream in Myrtleford - 280 km northeast of Melbourne.
The listing of the charges has been celebrated by freedom loving lockdown protesters, with many taking to social media to wallow in anticipation of the words “treason” and “Daniel Andrews” being used together inside an actual courtroom.
Under the law in Victoria, ordinary citizens can pay $85.70 and file a criminal charge in court.
While many private prosecutions are described by legal professionals as “wacky”, they have a long history in Victoria.
The case against Andrews faces significant challenges, with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions likely to take control of the matter before it gets off the ground.
Under the law, the CDPP has the power to overtake and discontinue private prosecutions should it find it has no reasonable prospect of a conviction being secured on the available evidence or if the prosecution is “not in the public interest”.
In July, a private prosecution against the Chief Magistrate of Victoria Lisa Hannan was dealt with in Victoria under similar laws.
Despite the obvious hurdles, the application has already caused significant inconvenience across sections of the State government, which is expected to provide a lawyer to appear on Andrews' behalf on Friday.
A staffer for the Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions will also be on hand, although the matter is out of its hands due to acts of treason falling under the Commonwealth's umbrella.
