Orange is the new Burke

You are conflating two separate issues. WHS BOM wanted to sack him from their school and they did, the DAP confirmed that the school BOM was correct in their view that his continued employment in their school was no longer appropriate

You are talking about preventing his employment in any school which is quite a different thing. Not that any school would now touch him.

I think the better option would be to release him now that he's been officially fired, let him show up to the school again (because that's obviously what he'll do), and then arrest him and full-on criminally prosecute him with a defined prison sentence.

If he's just in for contempt, they have to keep bringing him back to court, asking if he purges his contempt, dragging his family out when they shout at the Judge, bringing him back to prison… over and over.

His reason for entering the school grounds was always that he was still technically an employee of the school and was there to teach. That is now over. Now if he enters the school grounds, it's trespassing. And even if they protest outside the gates, nobody gives a flying f*ck any more.

"Effectively letting him away with contempt of court and allowing him back out to continue his contempt?"

He hasn't been let away with it as he has been jailed. However it was based on him showing up to the school when ordered not to while the case about his suspension was being decided, and him continuing to do so because he was still employed by the school and his own words, was showing up for work. That's now over. As he has been told he has been offically fired, I would say continuing to imprison him for contempt serves little purpose. Instead, if he trespasses again given he's no longer an employee of the school, there's no contempt needed. He could be charged criminally (thereby greatly affecting his further ability to teach, travel and work).

He's currently in prison until he purges his contempt, which means he currently decides if/when he gets to leave, and he's staying inside to be a martyr. Take that away from him. Release him, and make his choice about whether or not to undertake actions which would put himself back into prison, this time with actual criminal charges and a mandatory and defined sentence. No martyrdom involved, just criminality.

"He and his family are in it for the agitation. He will return to the school because it will scrape up media attention.

He was technically an employee until recently only because he kept appealing his appeals and then shouting nonsense about transgenderism in his usual hate-filled way so that his family's idiot followers will continue to sympathise with them (rather than acknowledge that the family are a bunch of hate-filled attention whores). He wants attention. He will do whatever it takes to get attention."

The media attention about it has waned significantly, and now that the cases about his dismissal have been decided, they may get a bit of attention the first day or two if they protest outside the school (particularly once the new school year starts), but then very little, and at that point I believe they do more harm to themselves in the eyes of some of the public who may previously have supported Enoch because that media attention has only continued to show them up for the loons they are.

At this moment in time, his name being officially listed on the register as a teacher provides him with a degree of legitimacy when to turn up at WHS claiming to be a teacher there

It really doesn't, any more than it would if he turned up at some random school he'd never been employed in.

He, and his family, have been successful in conflating his being a teacher and being denied constitutional religious rights.

They have been completely unsuccessful in these attempts.

It's guaranteed in my view. He is still saying he is an employee from what I saw, as mental as that is. Looks like this is the stupid hill he will literally die on, like some sort of martyr for religious idiots.

"Why should his contempt for the court instruction now not need to be purged when the evidence suggests that he will continue to ignore any instructions to stay away?"

Asked if he was willing to purge his contempt, Mr Burke, appearing via video-link, noted that the reasons for his imprisonment are currently before the CoA.

He repeated his position that he did not believe he should be in prison, claiming the principal's instruction to use a student’s preferred pronouns had no standing in law.

He submitted that the position of the Department of Education is that schools cannot be compelled to use a pupil’s preferred pronouns.

“I shouldn’t be in prison, I should be in my classroom, I should be with my students,” he said.

Mr Burke also stated that a third disciplinary appeals panel convened to hear his challenge to his dismissal from the school had “crashed”, submitting that he was removed from a panel hearing two weeks ago when he objected to the presence of lawyers for the school’s board of management.

He submitted that the “Dap and board of management can not allow a fair hearing in this matter”. “The process is rotten at its core,” he stated.

When the judge repeated his question asking if he would purge his contempt, Mr Burke said he had “faithfully attended” his workplace for eight years, and that this was not trespassing.

The judge said Enoch Burke was in breach of Mr Justice Owen's order, and as of today, it was a valid and lawful order of the High Court.

The judge said it was clear that Mr Burke did not wish to purge his contempt, and adjourned the matter for four weeks. The judge said it was open to Enoch Burke to purge his contempt at any time.

Again, Burke's position is that the matter of his employment was still under appeal, and he attended the school as it was his workplace. That is clearly and legally not the case any more, even if Burke still disagrees with it. Any ambiguity over whether Burke has any right to be on school property is now gone; he does not.

As much as he should purge his contempt of court, that is not going to happen. So again, given that the matter of his employment is now resolved, he no longer has an arguable reason to be at the school. The court can't just keep his contempt of court open indefinitely. What they should do is release him from it on the basis that going back to the school would now constitute criminal trespassing, and he could be criminally prosecuted for it just like anyone else would.

He likely will, so sentence him for that for however long is warranted, and let the prick rot.
