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 29 points 2 months 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.

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

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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

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

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.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] busted_Anoose@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

yes, they are referred to as section 10

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That was a previous conviction. This dude has a record of doing this shit.
