| Quote: | "I think it is appropriate to observe that, although some of the particular attacks on Mr Stokes' credit lacked cogency, there were occasions on which, in my opinion, he gave evidence that he knew was not true."
|
| Quote: | "Mr Stokes' evidence on this issue was not only implausible but, I must conclude, deliberately false."

Perjury?, or just another who couldn't quite remember?
Either way, a damning indictment on Stokes' character, or lack thereof! |

What a waste of money.
Hope the damages payment reflects the disdain we all have for Mr Stokes. |

He wasted our time (FOXTEL). My personal opinion: He brought this on himself.

That's nothing, in yesterday's Heraldsun on the back page they had the Voss to Carlton story. Sadly the journo wrote something along the lines of..... "Voss currently earns an estimated $600K through his media commitments and is unlikely to want a hair cut by becoming an assistant coach in AFL football"......
Edit: Here it is on-line, 2nd last paragraph.
