Those witnesses were required to Testify under oath. Hanson has no ethics. She dishes it out but has a glass Jaw.. She wants his WA seat.  Nev

I disagree with Andrew Hastie on just about everything, but he's dead right when he calls Hanson a coward.

She is a disgusting individual and has truly pulled the wool over her sheepish follower's eyes.

That is the taskthe Crown must complete in order to gain a conviction.  There's manyu an offender who has not been prosecuted because the Crown says, "We know you done it, but we can't connect all the dots to prove to a jury, without allowing for an alternative, but reasonable, explanation of the evidence the Crown has gathered. 

There was a case here just the other day where the judge dismissed the trial of a bloke on a murder charge. It was a road rage related incident that happened some years back and the accused was charged several years after the incident. The prosecutors submitted to the court that they had no evidence. I couldn't imagine they would have laid charges with absolutely no evidence in the first place. My best guess is that what evidence they had eventually turned out to be unreliable or unusable in some way and they didn't have enough to proceed.
