  It seems that Mr Trjulja went and saw "The Senior Australian Defamation QC" (what ever the flying fuck that is) who advised him that [at 17] "the posting is of and concerning to my reputation" (sidenote: any SC/QC who is advising a client, especially considering the barrister/solicitor structure, of this specificity needs to be instantly slapped with an ethics violation and/or struck off)
  
  Maybe he should of seen a real one first. I don't know maybe one who is actually a QC, a member of the Victorian Bar, a Senior Fellow of the Melbourne Law School. Who is also the esteemed author of three editions of The Law of Defamation and the Internet (2001, 2005 and 2010) and of Collins on Defamation (2014) which are tomes used by all Australian solicitors, law schools, and barristers.
  
  Maybe the same one who just recently (27th November 2015) wrote this article about 'Paddling in the backwater: Australian courts and online defamation '
  
  Personally I love this line:

  Defamation judgments from Australian courts are unenforceable in almost all circumstances in the United States.

  
  Maybe Mr Trkulja should take that advise and not be thought of absolutely as a complete and blithering moronic egotist who has a few kangaroos loose in his top paddock by all and sundry WORLDWIDE now.
  
  Oh and Milorad, or Michael, or as I now will call you "Wanna be yobbo"... I'm Aussie.. bring it on ;)

  Re: Re: Re:

  I can guarantee you that if a survey was done of ALL of New Zealand sex workers, and Australian sex workers in NSW & VIC 99.9999% (and there is over 5000) of them would NOT be human trafficking victims..
  
  It seems the USA criminalising the industry is the problem.
  
  But hey what do I know, I only consult and volunteer pro-bono to a fair amount of sex workers and their industry organisations.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Actually it does work to the point that the black market cannot compete AT ALL and its easier and safer for the consumers and workers. They are not totally driven away but they are de minimus compared to the whole.
  
  Your tropes do not stand up to actual reality, and nearly every single one of them has been destroyed by factual data from real life examples that are currently operating in a HUGE amount of countries world wide.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Which is exactly what occurs in New Zealand and Australia.
  
  It destroyed nearly all of the corruption (mostly police interestingly) and allowed the sex workers to have complete empowerment of themselves.
  
  Oh and it annoyed the crap out of the religious twits.. BONUS!!!

  What's to stop the government returning the money to him in the exact form it was seized (cash) and then IMMEDIATELY searching him and seizing the money again due to reasons?
  
  new case, new seizure, ... rinse & repeat
  
  then we would also have the inevitable appeal too so that the kid might if he loses at appeal also have to give back $11K which would mean he's out 22K + costs.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Unlimited liability for newpaper delivery boys?

  Further to above, I have just had a quick scan/read of your blog.
  
  For a pro Se plaintiff you have done well for yourself, though the insanity and stressors are normal. You need to now sit back and take it easy.
  
  As for your former employer..... well based on what you have supplied you have ample ability now to have a nice word with them and maybe the FWA as well. I wish you luck in that regard, though you shouldn't need much luck. Just remember, amicability and compromise works better and in practice might be the best interest of yourself for future employment.
  
  Your case though re google has IMO major concerns and ramifications that go beyond yourself. Listen to your silk and solicitors, take there advise and be pragmatic, and look to your future not to the quantum of damages (that's not going to be decided for a long while and might be in our vernacular "bugger all")

  Re: For all the people outside Australia who're confused about our defamation law, here's a summary

  really? You linked there? LOL
  
  the Arts Law Centre would of been a bit better and less weird :) ( http://www.artslaw.com.au/info-sheets/info-sheet/defamation-law-for-material-published-after-january-2006 )
  
  
  For those (especially Attorneys) that would actually like to read the specific leglislation that this case is using here's the SA legislative link with a link to the PDF and/or RTF

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Unlimited liability for newpaper delivery boys?

  > I think Australia does need a right to be forgotten law. I hadn't thought of it that way but that is a great idea.
  
  No it doesn't. EVER.
  
  No matter the chilling effect of enacting that law would have, believe me when I tell you that just because you have had a lot more positive supporters than negative in no way states what the actual legal fraternity actually thinks of your case.
  
  It is wrong on a few levels, and I hope you realise and your solicitors have advised you that the SC of South Aust is NOT the last step in this process.
  
  This decision is being looked at very closely and people are highly concerned. Your case is not a Gutnick, your case IMO is more damaging and stop putting words into your silks mouth, they don't appreciate it and will now most likely be questioned over it. shakes head in wonder at stupidity of laypersons Also your case is NOT precedent, hopefully though it becomes more obiter soon.
  
  Good luck in lobbying the Govt, though be aware myself (who is actually an Australian) will be doing it too to stop your egocentric attempts.
  
  >>> I won and Techdirt has zero influence over me, Google, common law or Australian legislation.
  
  Really? you think Techdirt (in as far as the people who actually write for it) care about humiliating you? they are writing about the stupidity and egocentric nature of your case. As for the rest of your comment the phrase "lol wut" comes to mind.
  
  I wish you luck in your next lobbying endevours, though don't expect it to be as easy sailing as you think.
