It was the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked the witness after finally being allowed ( you know how it is these days). “Isn't it true,” she bellowed, “that you accepted fifty thousand dollars to compromise this case?”

The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't heard the question.

The prosecutor again blared, “Isn't it true that you accepted fifty thousand dollars to compromise this case?”

The witness still did not respond.

Finally, the judge leaned over and said, “Sir, could you please answer the question.”

The witness looked at the Judge and said; " Oh, I'm terribly sorry I thought she was talking to you."

Indeed we do have a problem. Thanks for bringing wider attention to it. If Australia is actually governed by The Rule of Law, the Parliament and the Court need to act now in order to verify that claim.
