On International Wrongful Conviction Day, Australia still expects wrongly convicted prisoners to produce “fresh and compelling” evidence, often from inside jail and without the resources of the state. Stephen Cordner and Kerry Breen write. #auspol #Justice

A ‘Catch-22’ in Australia’s criminal justice system
On International Wrongful Conviction Day, Australia still leaves prisoners to overcome an almost impossible barrier when challenging unsafe convictions.

For non-soccer fans: this scandal is basically a microcosm of what is going on everywhere re: the ultra-wealthy doing whatever they want because they can. Man City cheated like hell. But here is the prime minister implying they’re just too valuable to the UK to hold to account. It sucks

Andy Burnham admits to ‘concern’ if Manchester City lose their owners after guilty verdicts
The primer minister said: ‘City have been a huge partner in building modern Manchester,’ while the Independent Football Regulator said it is monitoring the case

House prices falling by a percentage not seen in 40 years does not mean house prices have fallen to affordable levels - it is just that we have seen them increase so much year on year, that falls seem significant BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE IT JUST MEANS THE HOUSING MARKET HAS BEEN BROKEN

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.
