The article says he was convicted to 125h of community services. It just wasn't put on his record. Or am I reading it wrong?

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 48 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Yep. He basically argued that being famous as a Nazi was already making it impossible to find work, and a mark on his record would just make it worse. And then mentioned the second kid on the way to sell the sob story.

That's not a sob story; that's probable cause for a CPS investigation.

Maybe he should have thought about that before being a Nazi?

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 31 points 17 hours ago

Agreed, but he is a Nazi, so thinking isn't really a strong suit...

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

oh won't someone please think of the nazi's babies ffs

It seems like some parts of Australia have something called a "no conviction". Never seen that before.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 15 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

After considering the case, Ms Stuthridge decided not to record a conviction.

That's the way I'm reading it.

Doesn't work that way at all in my US state. Every conviction is recorded and you can apply to have your record expunged or receive a “certificate of employability” five years after your conviction.

Well, this happened in Melbourne. I don't know how it works there. But it probably doesn't work the same as in your US state

It definitely does not! I think that's why people might be confused, thinking they missed something.

Er... Maybe I read it wrong. I just woke up.
