Fresh from apparently going into bat for Black Saturday icon Sam The Koala, Tresscox A-List partner Nic Pullen is ‘pullen’ on the gloves again, but this time for the man dubbed “The Human Headline” Derryn Hinch.
As reported by our good friends at Lawyers Weekly:
Hinch faces five charges for breach of suppression orders under Victoria’s Serious Sex Offenders Monitoring Act 2005 [which he hopes to fight in the High Court]… According to Pullen, Hinch’s case seeks to challenge the act based on various constitutional issues, claiming that it provides for unequal treatment and protection of convicted serious sexual offenders, that it’s contrary to the Constitution’s implied freedom of speech and that it subverts the common law doctrine of open courts.
Pullen said Hinch’s real contention in relation to this is that the act “protects the worst of the worst, when it comes to sexual offenders – repeat serial pedophile offenders … the ones who are most likely to reoffend are protected… If you’re a, so to speak, run of the mill pedophile, or any other criminal for that matter, it [the act] doesn’t apply,” Pullen continued.
At this stage it is unclear what distinguishes a run of the mill pedophile from any other pedophile, though we fear Tresscox’s Mr Pullen might be involving himself in criminal affairs outside his area of expertise (like our friend Minter Ellison chest-waxer lawyer Eren Myers). What is even less clear, however, is how Derryn Hinch, a reformed wine-o who once confessed to “drinking four bottles of white wine per day“, was able to author a book entitled “The Derryn Hinch Diet“.
