138 At 5.59pm, the joint press release of Mr Southwick and Mr Battin was released to the media by Mr Woff (Ex A141; CC:274). It read as follows:
Today's incident on the steps [sic] Parliament House is an affront to every Victorian who values our inclusive, tolerant and multicultural community.
The behaviours today by neo-Nazis are a deliberate attempt to incite hatred and violence and are nothing short of sickening.
These shameful individuals and the hateful ideology they push have no place in our state and must never be tolerated.

The Andrews Labor Government must join with the Liberals and Nationals to ensure Victoria Police have the powers, resources and training to stamp out these shocking acts of hate.

141 That video and a transcript of it were in evidence (Ex R37 and Ex R38 respectively). It was sometimes referred to as "the champagne video", because each of the women (except Ms Jones) sipped a little champagne during the course of it (it lasts 24 minutes in all).
142 Counsel for Mr Pesutto sought to make much of it during the hearing, so it is necessary to set out the transcript of the relevant exchanges, as follows:
KJK [Ms Keen]: What a day! So I'm here with some evil TERFs [trans-exclusionary radical feminists] uh down under. We're calling this, I'm calling this TERF talk down under it's a concept that I've come up with [*all laugh*]. I have Angie Jones here, who
