A generous and convenient presumption of innocence.
Prime Minister John Howard says three of his Queensland backbenchers involved in an Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigation are entitled to the presumption of innocence.
Mr Howard only says he does not know all the facts involved.
“But a lot of people who are under investigation end up having nothing to answer for,” he said.
The Prime Minstrel went on to add, "But of course those considerations do not apply to David Hicks or the Leader of the Opposition who, incidently but not at all presumptuously, I have asked to be brought immediately before the floor of the House with his tail and his prodigious hubris between his legs. Thereafter the member for Griffith will be formally dedacked in accordance with the Standing Orders and slapped about the buttocks with a wet Christopher Pyne. Let that be a lesson to him and anyone else who gets too big for their Blunnies."
