I don't know, did you? An inquest was always inevitable based upon WT's status as a child missing, presumed dead whilst in care. The timing of the inquest which was urged by way of petition by many of the public after it seemed there were no answers after a long period of time, have a right in law to a transparent system of law, may have hastened when the coronial inquest occurred. My understanding was that after that petition was received by the NSW govt, it was deemed inappropriate in relation to an ongoing investigation. I have no problem with anyone in the public requesting by petition what they want. If the law or charges are dropped or changed for individuals based upon their popularity, I have a problem with that. IMO
I only wanted an inquest if the investigation so required it to happen, not because those who had no insight into the investigation thought it should happen.
The petition had been presented once and rejected, then the inquest was announced prior to the second handing in of thus petition. So the timing of the Inquest had nothing whatsoever to do with any petition.
So from what you say, you do have a problem with a petition for dropping charges against GJ, but not a petition about bringing forward an investigation that may not be ready to go to an Inquest, when not knowing what point the investigation is at?
The only problem I have with petitions is that you can't vote against whatever is being said, the only way is to start your own petition - ever thought of doing that?
