I'm not completely sure I even comprehend this (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/26/2667409.htm), but it's quite significant, while being absurd and scary at the same time.

Makes plenty of sense.

Teabagging in the military is a punishable offense because of the strict disciplinary context. Whereas, in the real world it's just a prank, not an attack so to speak.

Still pretty silly though...

From my understanding, it wasn't the act of teabagging that disbanded the military court, but the way it was set up. The guy that did the teabagging just had smart enough lawyers to argue that the military court was unconstitutional.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't really want someone's balls dunked on my face, and I'm not even female.

What happened was that the Howard Government were told to set up a fully constitutional Ch III military court and they ****ed it up and made a court that was almost exactly like a Ch III court except wasn't and then gave it Commonwealth Judicial power which under the Constitution can only be exercised by an actual Ch III court.

So this case had nothing to do with the actual crime but whether the AMC was a constitutionally valid place to hear it which it clearly wasn't.

It's not really a big deal, Faulkner has said they'll put in a real court and that'll be matter over.

Stop adding superfluous detail - it was teabagging that shook the law to it's very caw, lawl.

Hopefully the judge asked for a demonstration to aid his understanding.

I just thought it was hilarious that real-life soldiers also teabag.

Yeah, I honestly thought that only a Halo/ multiplayer-gaming thing. Didn't realise anyone would be gross enough to do it for real!

Never performed the act myself, but have witnessed it on several occasions, one where a guy was so drunk we managed to glad-wrap him to a table, cart him round for a bit and eventually got teabagged. Not sure if he remembers any of it. That's how drunk he was.

Second was there during the first recorded teabagging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_tea_party). Show the man some respect!

On a similar note, one of my friends passed out drinking once and for his effort received writing all over his face and a double-teabagging.
