Newcastle based YouTube personality Isaac Butterfield is being taken to Court for making jokes which some people found offensive.

Long time readers of this website may not be surprised to know that the pro-pedophile ‘Human Rights’ Commission has been involved in this push to supress the human right of free speech.

In this topsy-turvy world in which we live in, don’t be surprised if Liberty Victoria, supposedly a civil liberties organisation, sides with those who are complaining  against Isaac Butterfield’s civil liberties.

Cathie Allen led the DNA lab that was plagued by scandal as a result of a decision taken in 2018 to test DNA samples in a way that resulted in low-level DNA samples being deemed as “DNA insufficient for further processing” and often led to inconclusive results.

Last year, Allen had recommended low-level DNA samples should go straight to amplification rather than be micro-concentrated which was widely considered to be best practice in order to cover her tracks.

The whistle was blown at Queensland’s Forensic and Scientific Services lab in 2021 and eventually led to the commission of inquiry headed by Walter Sofronoff KC.
