Former "most hated man in Australia" asks to reschedule trial around reassignment surgery

extract
A millionaire who filmed and mocked four police officers as they lay dying from injuries sustained in a freeway crash after pulling [them] over, and who has since faced unrelated charges of Stalking and Assault, is now pleading for a court adjournment, arguing that court dates interfere with clinic consultations for “gender reassignment surgery.” Richard Paul Pusey, who has been described by a judge as “probably the most hated man in Australia,” skyrocketed to infamy on April 22, 2020.

On that date, [Pusey] was pulled over for allegedly driving his black 2016 Porsche 911 on Melbourne’s Eastern Freeway at 149km/h while under the influence of drugs. Senior Constable Kevin King, Constable Glen Humphris, Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor and Constable Josh Prestney stood by the side of the road to discuss impounding Pusey’s sports car. The four police were hit by a truck driven by Mohinder Singh Bajwa, who was sleep-deprived and high on drugs. Pusey, who had gone to relieve [themselves] in the bushes, was left unscathed.

As the four officers lay dying, [Pusey] photographed, filmed and mocked them, making such commentary as, “Oh he’s smashed, look at that. Lucky I went and had a piss.” Motorists, including a doctor, who assisted the dying officers, scolded Pusey for his behavior and refusal to help. Pusey made it home with the assistance of a motorist, and was arrested the following day. [They] spent ten months in prison after pleading guilty to Outraging Public Decency. Mr Singh, the truck driver, is serving a custodial sentence for up to 22 years for Culpable Driving. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, anti-social personality disorder, and an anti-authority complex, Pusey’s run-ins with the law have persisted since [their] prison release. Last year, [Pusey] was charged with Unlawful Assault and Theft after reaching into a car to strike an elderly driver in the face and stealing the man’s keys during a dispute over a parking spot, and with two counts of Stalking and four counts of Assault for allegedly terrorizing neighbors in a separate incident.

The 44-year-old is facing trial for two counts of Using A Telecommunications Device To Menace and two counts of Commit Indictable Offence On Bail after allegedly posting to the Porsche dealership’s website on November 25 and February 7 a Google review that included an image of one of the dead officers. The postings are allegedly part of a continuous campaign to terrorize the four deceased police officers and their families. The day after the crash, Pusey showed a video of the dying officers to [their] doctor, staff at a chemist’s office, and three friends. To Instagram, he uploaded a photo of Senior Constable Lynette Taylor’s widower, Stuart Schulze, captioned in part: “Sorry to attempt to ask your wife if she had anything to say to you or your family and then freak out.” To TikTok, [they] uploaded amidst anti-police and anti-jail rants a video that had been taken along the road on which the officers died, captioned “Eastern Freeway sunset.” Pusey, who now uses they/them pronouns, is requesting that the trial be adjourned.

So we are supposed to defer to this male and this male's feelings by using the pronouns Pusey requests, when Pusey has allegedly engaged in a "continuous campaign to terrorize" the bereaved families of four police officers?
The day after the crash, [Pusey] showed a video of the dying officers to [Pusey's] doctor, staff at a chemist’s office, and three friends.
What about their feelings?

Where is the reciprocation? Why are we not allowed to recognise this, and refuse?

Actually, title is wrong. It's not even the surgery [they] wants to adjourn the trial for.

It's the clinic consultations. The simple answer is to rebook the doctor's appointments!

Because somehow the process of 'gender reassignment' has become elevated to the equivalent of taking holy orders. It is sacrosanct and anybody who mouths the correct holy words will be absolved of all sin.

LovelaceBiggWither · 18/04/2022 14:20

He's a POS.

If he is wanting a clinic consultation most of the SRS surgeons have long waiting lists for the first consult and then years long waiting lists for surgery. Absolutely fucking ridiculous request--all of the surgeons also do telehealth consults so there's no reason to even request this if he has been on the waiting lists and his name has come up.

I'm usually very respectful about pronouns but this person is disgusting and it sounds like bullshit to me.

Stirlingline · 18/04/2022 14:47

Now that is a person who is very brave and stunning.

You're right. How the hell did we get to this?

Pusey demonstrated a collection of very worrying personality traits even prior to this terrible incident. From this Daily Mail article:

Pusey was kicked out of school just a few week into Year 10 and worked as tram driver and nurse without much success before becoming a successful finance broker. However, this job was lost when he was jailed in 2018, but he bounced back by making millions in property development. Judge Trevor Wraight said Pusey was 'probably the most hated man in Australia' and noted that all his many jobs ended due to misconduct or disputes linked to his personality disorder

We can’t know what personality disorder Pusey has, but I hope the person taking the consultation will consider all of the potential manifestations of it before settling on a diagnosis.

Changechangychange · 18/04/2022 14:56

My reading of the article is that he has asked, not that it has been granted… just because a personality disordered criminal makes an outrageous and offensive request doesn’t mean the justice system has any intention of acquiescing to it. Most judges can spot time wasting bullshit a mile off, and will give that sort of thing extremely short shrift.

That wouldn't be affirmation only care.

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/04/2022 21:27

I doubt very much that he is in any way trans, he's just out to cause maximum ruckus. Because he can.

I also read that he was charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment of his wife, including putting a noose around her neck.

I just hope he doesn't end up being sent to a women's prison.

LovelaceBiggWither · 19/04/2022 03:01

He's unlikely to be offered affirmation care in the guise of surgery. If he's seeing the SRS surgeon in Melbourne, Ives follows WPATH guidelines and does decline to do surgery if they are not met. There's only about 3 surgeons in Australia doing this surgery and I am pretty sure they all follow WPATH so Pusey would have to find a psychologist and a psychiatrist to agree he needs surgery. I don't think that will be easy to do.

And I seriously doubt the court is going to say no worries mate, we'll just wait for the years all this will take and then we do the court case.

worked as tram driver and nurse without much success before becoming a successful finance broker.

Worked as a nurse??Shock

It's also incredible to me that people like this are able to hold down a job long enough to become a successful finance broker.

Let's hope the judge is not a generous minded judge.

Honestly, this could not have come at a better time for Australia. The discussion over single sex spaces is only really just getting started there and we are still at the “inclusive, be kind, no people will take advantage” etc etc. People do not understand the issues yet - partly because so few people have taken the piss here, Australian men tending to be (on the whole) fair minded and reasonable people.
We need a few more cases to get people peaked and talking about the down side of self ID, the need for single sex spaces etc.
We’re currently talking about the women’s sports and the argument being put forward is that “fully transitioned” trans women are pretty much an equal playing field to women - but what is missing from the discussion here is that self ID means that no “medical transition” is actually required.

This person was photographed outside court in a T-shirt with the slogan “Get me Oprah”.

I think their motivations are pretty clear and I hope others can see straight through them too.
