Digance Loses Lawsuit Against Malinauskas

From Adelaide, this is your March 10th update. A former South Australian member of parliament,

Annabelle Diggins and her husband lost their $2.3 million lawsuit against premier,

Peter Malinaska's and the state. The suit claimed malicious prosecution after blackmail charges

from a 2020 incident. A Supreme Court judge dismissed the case this week. The trouble starter

at a February 2020 meeting between Diggins' husband and Malinaska's, who was then,

opposition leader. He recorded the talk, where Diggins' husband allegedly demanded a parliament

seat for her, or threatened to ruin Malinaska's career. Malinaska's reported it to police,

leading to blackmail charges against the couple. Those charges later dropped, though a court

error once listed Diggins' guilty, officials apologized for that mix-up last year. Diggins argued

Malinaska's abuse his power to push the case. Associate Justice Graham Dart ruled there

was no malicious prosecution. He said Malinaska's was just a complainant cooperating with police,

not directing them. Without malice, claims of official misconduct also failed.

Premier Malinaska's welcomed the decision, saying his show's leaders can report wrong doing

without fear. The case heads back to court on March 16th for final orders. DNN is sponsored by
