  3. Never mind, Leone, Abbott assures us that this type of thing is nothing to do with Climate Change. Which reminds me, The Abbott government just won a hat trick of Fossil Fuel of the Day awards. If only they’d been able to spare Maurice Newman for Warsaw they’d have collected a Mark Spitz-like quantity of such awards.

    Morrison is probably in the running for an inhumanity one somewhere. Bishop, Abbott and Johnston for cowardice. So i guess that will be their answer to the Gillard government getting all those awards Swan on Finance, Roxon on Tobacco prevention, Gillard for courage on Carbon pricing… so it’s only fair the Abbott government should some of what it deserves.

  9. UNBE******LIEVABLE!!!

    A move to crack down on wild parties in Queensland has been criticised as an attack on the right to have fun.

    The Police Powers and Responsibilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill, currently before State Parliament, proposes jail terms and fines of more than $12,000 for the organisers of events that are deemed to be out-of-control.

    It defines an out-of-control event as a gathering of 12 people or more if three of them interfere with the public by swearing, making excessive noise or being drunk in a public place.

    What is an ‘out-of-control event’?

    The bill defines it as an event at which 12 or more people are gathered and three or more people do any of the following…
    Unlawfully enter property.
    Use offensive or threatening language.
    Fight or assault another person.
    Cause property damage.
    An indecent act such as wilful exposure.
    Excessive noise.
    Burn-outs in a motor vehicle.
    Unlawfully light fires or fireworks.
    Throw dangerous objects.
    Unreasonably obstruct a person or vehicle.
    Litter in a way that could harm a person, property or the environment.
    Public drunkenness.
    Break liquor or drug laws.

    …if the conduct could cause people to fear violence or property damage, or to suffer substantial interference with their rights or peaceful movement in a public place.

    But lawyers, youth advocates and civil libertarians say legislation aimed at stopping unruly events will make it a legal risk to hold almost any gathering.

  10. Queensland, beautiful one day, totally nutty the next.

    THREE bikies waiting to testify in a trial in a Maroochydore Magistrates Court were ordered by a police sergeant to disperse from the area or face possible jail.

    The order is a sobering side effect of the State Government’s new anti-association laws.

    “Basically, they were told they would be arrested if they didn’t get out of the courthouse,” Tony Jardine, of the Rebels’ Sunshine Coast Chapter, said.

    Two of the bikies admitted to the Daily that they feared the technical breach of the new anti-association laws would result in their immediate imprisonment for a mandatory six months.

    The incident flared into a verbal confrontation on the second floor of the courthouse, in full view of other members of the public, as the bikies argued that they were only there together to appear in the trial.

    Police responded that the bikies were gathered in a public place, which is now illegal.

    The bikies then dispersed.

    The bikies were at the court to give evidence on behalf of the Rebels Motorcycle Club Sunshine Coast chapter, which was charged with exposing liquor for sale without a licence.

    The court heard police had raided the club’s Kunda Park clubhouse on May 14 and seized a number of items, including considerable quantities of beer, spirits and flavoured mixers, drinks cards, hole punches, a liquor purchase receipt and more.

    Prosecutor Sgt Rick Pallister said few people were at the premises at the time, the club was not open to the public, nobody was at the door selling tickets and no signs promoting alcohol sales could be seen.

    However, he said liquor laws were designed to ensure public safety, and the absence of a licence meant the club avoided usual legislative requirements.

    Magistrate Bernadette Callaghan described the offending as being at the “lower end of the scale”.

    She noted that political parties, fishing clubs and football clubs, for example, also held similar drinks events.

    Ms Callaghan fined the club $2000 and ordered the seized items be returned.

  11. The company that runs the detention centre on Christmas Island has sacked one employee over a sexual relationship with a detainee and sent three others back to the mainland for misconduct.

    The sexual misconduct incident, involving a Serco employee, was also investigated by the Australian Federal Police.

    http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/19854625/christmas-island-detention-centre-worker-sacked-over-sexual-relationship-with-detainee/

    Is the real crime miscegnation or abuse of power?

  12. Billie,
    I hope the latter; I fear the former.

    Hmm, time to peroxide my hair and invest in blue contact lenses …

  13. Fiona,

    Schoolies Week (Qld division) just starting on the Gold Coast. To be closely followed by 30 to 40 thousand more from NSW & Victoria.

    The Qld Coppers should be able to easily arrest 30,000 out of that lot. They’ll break pretty well all of those provisions you mentioned.

    Goodness knows where they will store them. Stradbroke Island or somewhere! 😉

  15. Fiona,

    Hmm, time to peroxide my hair and invest in blue contact lenses …

    Blimey! Are you aiming to join the Schoolies up on the Gold Coast? 😉

  17. Red ones are still good. Small one still has warm exhausts (illegal) this afternoon. Miss gave it a work-out.

  18. Fiona,
    have you dredged out your bum freezer from days of yore, or were the maxi skirt generation?
    Don’t forget your pubesters – and grandma thought hipsters were too revealing
    and pack your incy wincy [yellow polka dot] bikini too

  19. Billie,
    1955, so op shop plus maxi skirts – even when bike riding (combined, in winter, with an Austrian cape and a very fetching crochet bonnet made by my grandmother).

  20. Hope you bike gear was topped with a fetching hi-viz jacket or were you one of the invisible army of deadly treadly riders. Frequently found around Melbourne cemetery clad in tweedy academic garb.
    Almost as scary as the black clad inner urban goth who decries bike lamps in the pre dawn darkness
    Scares me, they does!

  21. Billie,
    My Canberra cycling days were 1973-1977, when there weren’t very many about, and it was okay – and far safer – to cycle on the footpaths of the main drags such as Commonwealth Avenue, which was on my route from home to university. So, no hi-viz stuff, not that I ever cycled at night anyway (except on campus, when I was living in one of the halls of residence).

    As for Melbourne cyclists, they can be terrifying. However, there’s one that does not fit into that category: a very elderly person who I sometimes see in Carlton, pedalling along on an adult-sized tricycle, with a bull mastiff sitting in the tray at the back.

  22. I’ve just found three very small, bedraggled black kittens on my verandah. Their mum – an oddly familiar-looking black cat, also wet and bedraggled, dropped them off and has gone off to do something somewhere else. I thought I heard a kitten last night. It looks like they have been taking shelter from the rain and storms behind a stack of boxes. I hope Mum is planning on coming back and hasn’t just decided I’d be a great foster mum. They are guzzling down some tuna – all I had in the way of cat nourishment. Silly to feed them, because now they won’t want to go away, but you can’t have kittens starving to death on the doorstep. If they are still here on Monday I’ll have to try to catch them and take them to the RSPCA.

  24. leone
    there is bound to be a cat rescue group somewhere in your area who may take them. In kitten season, I do not fancy their chances at the RSPCA. Nothing against the RSPCA but at this time of year they just cannot cope with the numbers. Catching Mum for desexing would be the best thing, a humane cat trap may be borrowed from your local council or RSPCA or AWL ) with the kittens inside. It is good you are feeding them.

  25. Also the cat may be missing from someone, going off for the breeding season. A photo in the local shops may be a good idea. someone may recognise her.

  26. I would never take any animal (especially a cat) to the RSPCA. Years back when I had a largish number of moggys and financial issues I requested assistance to feed my animals for just a week. The answer was “we can’t give you food for them but we can put them down”. My local vet helped out and boarded them for a week.

  27. leone
    It’s like rescuing AS … You can’t let them drown. I’m so glad you fed those poor little creatures. I went through the same experience myself.

  28. We have PAWS here, they might help. I’m well-known at the nearest vet, too, from previous cats, they might have some ideas. I think the mother cat is pretty much feral. We have a tribe of feral black cats living around here somewhere, probably in bush behind my street. They’ve been around for years, no-one can catch them and they fight with the pampered felines living in the street. This lot look to be part of the tribe, although now the kittens have dried out I can see one is smokey grey , one very black and one in between. I’m keeping away, I don’t want to scare them and access where they are is difficult, but I can see them through a window and can get food close to them. They appear to be no more than about six weeks old and if they haven’t been used to being handled by humans then it’s almost too late to start. But I’ll see what happens.

    I’d adopt the lot, but I don’t want any more cats. I’ve lived with cats all my life but losing the last cat a year ago was pretty traumatic and I swore I wouldn’t set myself up for that again. Been there, done that too many times.

  29. Leone,
    Best of luck with the kittens. Sounds as though you will have to trap them which should be fairly easy since you’ve started feeding them and they’ll be looking for more handouts.

  30. My colleague dropped in a while ago so I could sign his passport renewal application, and for some reason our conversation (which as usual dived down an amazing range of byways) ended up with a brief discussion of the song Is ‘E An Aussie, is ‘E Lizzie?.

    So, just for a bit of fun, I give you, ladies and gents, Mr Flotsam and Mr Jetsam performing …

  31. Mr Jetsam was Albury-born Malcolm McEachern, and had a superb bass voice. Here’s another example (not with Mr Flotsam this time):

  35. “,,,,,,,,,,In fact by sharing a YouTube video you could face five years in jail and a fine of $93,500.
    According to section 132A part 2 of the Copyright Act, “distributing an infringing article that prejudicially affects the copyright owner” is against the law.
    So that pretty much makes everything you do on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube completely illegal.
    Even sharing a photo of yourself from the social pages of the newspaper is illegal”.

    Say you get snapped partying it up and you want to share your new found social celebrity status on your Instagram account, you are committing a crime.
    All of this means that millions of Australians knowingly or unknowingly break the law every day.
    Well, now the Australian Digital Alliance is trying to change all that with a campaign demonstrating how Australian copyright law is broken.
    The ADA wants a fair use provision added to Australian copyright law that allows people to share, copy or recreate works so long as they don’t take revenue away from copyright owners or harm them in any other way.
    The executive producer of the campaign, comedian Dan Ilic told news.com.au that it is not about piracy but about culture.
    “This campaign is not about ripping off things and reselling it for profit,” he said. “It’s about how young people tell stories. Culture shouldn’t be outlawed.”

    Attorney General, Senator George Brandis told news.com.au that The Australian Law Reform Commission is currently conducting an inquiry into Copyright and the Digital Economy.
    “The Government will consider the recommendations of the final report when it is received later in November 2013,” he said.

    The days of us sharing a bit of fun and memory jogging frivolity may be over if this Govt has anything to do with it.

  36. Ms Adventure,
    Sign as in confirm my knowledge of who he is, and that his photograph is a true likeness etc.

    Apologies for my lack of precision 😉

  37. I’m tired of innocent pursuits becoming illegal. Can’t go for a motorbike ride, can’t have a party/event and now can’t even share a picture or piece of musical history.

    Fiona
    Nudge, nudge, wink, wink 😉

  39. Fiona,
    I would go on the bike ride to Parliament house on the 1st Dec but I will be at Women’s Conference. Maybe we can take a break and join the protest. I know a Viet veteran going on the ride. Not that I am in favour of gangs but it is the beginning of the slide into something more oppressive than the days of Joh.

  41. Pink has been the signature colour for Breast Cancer fundraising, research and supporters. How dare Newman demean the BC suffers by using pink to ‘punish’ bikies.

  42. That aspect hadn’t occurred to me, Ms Adventure, but the first part of this comment from “Bobby” had – and I concur with both you and Bobby:

    Pink is a colour traditionally associated with women. It is also associated with Breast Cancer Awareness. Is Campbell using this primary school tactic to humiliate bikies by insinuating they are girls? He is showing his contempt for women is as pathetic as some bikies disregard for people in general. If all bikies are wearing pink and hidden away in separate jails, none of them are likely to give a flying fig what they are wearing. Is he so bereft of ideas that he can only copy the hillbilly Americans? How much money is being spent to instigate his pink pyjama punishment?

  43. While I am no fan of Newman or the LNP. The bikies have brought this on themselves.There is no sympathy in the general QLD Public for them. Lock them up humiliate them good. Drug pedlars are what they mainly are now and if wearing pink in jail upsets them . Tough.
    In the old days when they stuck mainly to themselves and didn’t involve the general public they were tolerated by the police. Comments like ” WE own The Gold Coast” was a invitation to be targeted by a newly elected conservative government with a large majority.

  45. Joe, it’s not the crackdown on bikies that concerns most of us it is the freedom of association laws which were brought in with VLAD. I know a lot of bike riders who, quite innocently, will be caught up with this crackdown.

  46. msadventure2

    A lot of that is scare tactics.
    The coppers have no interest in booking innocent groups.
    The only ones that should be worried are the intended targets.
    Criminal Bikie gangs

  47. Not so Joe. I have proof of the changes to the way innocent bike riders have been targeted.

  49. Such as?

    But if some groups get pulled up and are innocent of doing anything wrong then let go.
    Sorry for the inconvenience .
    Same as a RBT, Just checking..
