In Brisbane Magistrates Court, a victim supporter verbally abused notorious paedophile Ashley Paul Griffith as an extradition order was granted for him to face additional charges in New South Wales. Griffith, currently serving life with a non-parole period of 27 years after pleading guilty to 307 child sexual offenses in Queensland, will now also be tried on 180 more charges related to incidents between 2014 and 2017 involving 23 girls at a Sydney childcare center. The article reports the supporter's outburst of anger towards Griffith, who appeared impassive during the hearing.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
