Is there actually anything to this Catherine Andrews car/cyclist accident? I've always dismissed it, without much thought, due to all of the ridiculous conspriracy theories surrounding Daniel Andrews. Was definitely some below average police work at the time, but is that all?
 

Repeat violent offender Quinton Lambadgee asks if he can 'stay in jail' in hearing ahead of release​

A South Australian criminal with "one of the worst" records for violence seen by a Supreme Court judge will be released from prison in two days despite admitting he may not be able to comply with a supervision order. Quinton Lambadgee, who will be released under an interim supervision order, repeatedly asked what would happen if he did not comply with his release conditions and if he could "just stay in jail". The South Australian Supreme Court heard Lambadgee was convicted of the manslaughter of his father in 2007. At the time the court was told Lambadgee fatally stabbed his father, piercing his heart, following a drunken argument.

The 45-year-old was also convicted of violent offences in 1995, 1998, 2003, and 2015. The court heard his most recent incarceration was the result of a conviction for aggravated recklessly causing harm in 2022 after an altercation with a store owner in which the man was seriously injured by a knife after Lambadgee stole alcohol from his shop. "In addition to this, Mr Lambadgee has been convicted of assault on no fewer than 14 occasions and assaulting or resisting a police officer on 12 occasions," Justice Sandi McDonald said.

The court also heard Lambadgee had been involved in 10 incidents of violence or abusive behaviour towards correctional staff and other prisoners during his most recent period of incarceration, and had been convicted of breaching bail and good behaviour bonds on numerous occasions.

Another disgracefully pissweak 'sentence:

Former Tasmanian high school principal David Billing sentenced to home detention for sexual abuse of student​

David John Billing, 76, was sentenced in the Hobart Supreme Court today after pleading guilty to the offence which occurred over 10 separate occasions in the 1980s. Billing was a teacher at a high school in Launceston when he met the victim. The offending occurred when she was aged 16 and he was aged 34 or 35.

The court was told they appeared to have a consensual "relationship" that continued after she turned 17 years of age, but that the victim later realised she had been groomed by Billing "under the guise of being a caring teacher". Her victim impact statement described "guilt, shame, anger, sadness and profound remorse" when she reflected on Billing's offending, and that he was "controlling".

The court heard the matter was reported to Tasmania's Education Department, but Billing remained employed. He later became the principal at a different high school and acting district superintendent, among other roles in Tasmania's public education system.

Beinash Batool and Urfan Sharif found guilty of daughter Sarah Sharif's murder in UK​

At just 10, Sara Sharif was a feisty girl who dreamed of being a princess, seen strumming a ukulele and singing happily. But just two days later, she was dead, her body found bearing horrific marks of abuse from those who were meant to protect her. Now, her father and step mother have been found guilty of her murder in a British court.

On August 10, 2023, UK police officers received a 999 call from a distraught man.
Responders tried to calm him down, asking what was wrong, before Urfan Sharif told them he had "legally punished" his child and she was dead.

He told the operator it was not his intention to murder Sara but he had "beat her up too much". Police kept Sharif on the phone for eight-and-a-half minutes as he grew increasingly insistent. "I killed my daughter!" he repeated twice on the call.

Officers were already on their way to the Sharif home in Woking, Surrey, where they found an unimaginable scene. Sara's father had left a note, reading 'I killed Sara', and asking for a traditional burial. But Sharif, his brother and Sara's stepmother Beinash Batool were not there. Two days prior, they had booked a plane for Pakistan...

Baby Seriously Injured by Alice Springs Youths

two armed male youths had allegedly entered a house on Bokhara Street at about 2:30pm.

He said a woman and her four children were home at the time, when one of the youths allegedly "approached her and threatened her with a weapon" as she was holding her two-month-old baby.

"He has struck out at her, [allegedly] hitting her and the child," he said.

Detective Superintendent Lawson said the youths then continued the alleged robbery, taking a purse and keys before fleeing the area.

Two youths, aged 16 and 17, were arrested shortly after and charged with aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, unlawfully causing serious harm, aggravated assault and theft.

Heard about their rap sheets yet?

the pair had collectively been charged with almost 300 other offences and bailed 35 times — and were on bail at the time. (https://www.news.com.au/national/no...ws-story/ca882c1c12fb68d2680be61c05c3e656?amp)

Lower the age of criminal responsibility though etc etc… be nice if the bleeding hearts cared as much about the 8 week old attacked in it’s mothers arms as they do about the 16 & 17 year olds doing the attacking.

Absolutely appalling and completely unacceptable. At the same time the Chief Minister and Commissioner are in Alice Springs wringing their hands and wondering what can possibly be done about crime. Unbelievable.

I wouldn’t like to be the one having to come up with a solution. It’s beyond politics. And it’s everywhere, although seemingly worse in NT.

Youth crime is peer driven, gang driven, social media driven. Stealing, assaulting, breaking and entering. They literally don’t care what they do. Often there are adults organising and virtually employing kids to commit crimes because they know if kids get caught they are mostly let off lightly.

One of the girl's arms was slashed, she's probably lucky against a machete. An offender was caught and who was already out on bail, two on the run.



Shouldn't the other two give themselves up so they can also get out on bail?
 

Victims to meet with Queensland's attorney-general in push to ban character references for sex offenders​

Child sexual abuse survivors want to ban the use of good character references for convicted sex offenders in Queensland. In court, people who know the offender can write letters about their good character for the judge or magistrate to consider during sentencing. But, co-founders of the "Your Reference Ain't Relevant" campaign Harrison James and Jarad Grice believe it could re-traumatise child sex abuse victims.

I never quite got that.
If your crime doesn't involve being a bad character, why is a character reference important?
If you are not in jail for bad behavior, why do you get time off for good behaviour?

What does it say about someone writing a ‘ good’ character reference for a sex offender? Lower than low IMO.
