Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

HIS HONOUR: Mr Margo, you’re present?
MR R. MARGO SC: I am, your Honour, and I have MS R. GRAYCAR
with me.
HIS HONOUR: Thank you. Mr Perkins?
MR D. PERKINS: Yes, if your Honour pleases.
HIS HONOUR: Thank you. Yes, Mr Margo?
MR MARGO: Your Honour, we rely on the affidavits of Mr Jones sworn
on 20 April 2009, of Mr Lewis sworn on the same date, and of Mr Lewis
sworn on 24 April. Your Honour has two sets of supplementary
submissions from us. One which was served on 21 April, and another
served yesterday at your Honour’s request about costs. We also seek leave
to adduce a further document which is a print from the websites, taken
after 9 o’clock this morning. Copies have been sent to Adelaide and
Melbourne. And Mr Jones is here, and could be sworn and just identify
that document for your Honour.
HIS HONOUR: And that is a document which my associate handed me
today.
MR MARGO: It’s 10 pages from the website. Mr Jones’ evidence will be
that he printed this off the website at the time it bears bottom right-hand
side. I think that’s 9.03 am on your Honour’s copy.
HIS HONOUR: I can’t read most of it. I can read the bigger print, but I
can’t read the smaller print, do I need to know that?
MR MARGO: I’ll read it onto the record, your Honour, I think.
HIS HONOUR: Thank you.
MR MARGO: The large print is the new stuff, the other material is along
the same lines as is in evidence in Mr Lewis’ 24 April affidavit, but I can
read it onto the record, the bits that we rely on.
HIS HONOUR: Yes, please. Yes, go ahead.
MR MARGO: I think Mr Jones should be – should take an affirmation
and identify the document as this is a quasi-criminal proceeding, your
Honour.
HIS HONOUR: Yes. Do you have any objection to that Mr Perkins?
MR PERKINS: I don’t consent to any of this, your Honour.
HIS HONOUR: No.
MR PERKINS: I don’t put it in the form of an objection.
HIS HONOUR: Thank you. Yes, could Mr Jones go into the witness
box, please.
