RitaPanahi How will we all feel when she is killed? Will the media have blood on its hands ?

RitaPanahi I have to ask this question...Lawyer X gave info about drug criminals to the cops and they’re howling about conflicts of interest and cases needing reviews. How is this different from an undercover cop playing the role of a drug dealer and gaining evidence to convict crooks?

RitaPanahi The way I see it, organised criminals are at war against society. Nothing should be off limits when prosecuting them. Rita seems to want to treat the war on organised crime as a game.

RitaPanahi Spot on

RitaPanahi It starts with good intentions, and ends with you serving time on a trumped up charge to cover some cop's ass. Cops should be upholding the law...not breaking it. They should be policing themselves, instead they protect each other. The good cops shouldn't cover for the bad.

RitaPanahi To late BargeArse you lose again

RitaPanahi I don’t care. When it comes to scumbags like these underworld slimes, all options both fair and covert should be used to get them. They gave up their rights when they chose to live outside the law!

Day before her name is revealed, top cop still fears for Informer 3838Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton says police still have serious safety concerns for Lawyer X, whose name is set to be revealed on Friday afternoon. My bet is that everyone in Victorian criminal law, and all the underworld knows who this is already, just by knowing which cases have been compromised. So this is probably more about the lawyers union and police protecting themselves from bad publicity. Naming her won’t change much. The universe already knows who it is I thought it was common knowledge that this was Nicola Gobbo?It's a little like Pell,most people I talk to knew it was him and that there was a suppression order in place.
