Why do the Brisbane Heat not go and find a grade cricketer or two who can actually bat, instead of continually picking these spuds?

Then don’t go claiming you’re being “tough on crime” because it isn‘t “tough” to suspend a sentence or not even give one. My personal favourite is being sentence to the “ rising of the court”. Where the punishment is that the crook literally has to stay in court, unless the judge / magistrate...

Nope. New stuff.

More drama for Selwyn....

Only one law they need to change - the Penalties and Sentences Act. Which is responsible for all the piss-weak sentences the “learned” judiciary choose to hand down. Except they won’t. They will do what our Governments always do, increase the maximum penalty and then claim they are “tough on...

Great film. Watched it again a couple of weeks back…

Court’s don’t reinstate licences after the disqualification period ends. That court order effectively ‘ends’ that licence. One is required to re-attend TMR at the conclusion of that disqualification period and re-apply for a new licence.

It isn’t though. The Magistrate will order their fine referred to SPER and they don’t even pay it, let alone think of it as a deterrent to their behaviour,

He is disqualified from holding, or obtaining a driver licence. There is a difference in there.

The Colombian marching powder…

It’s a court ordered disqualification, not a suspension. The difference is before yesterday he could have walked into any TMR office and renewed his licence and day he liked (only his idiocy / arrogance prevented him doing that). Now he can’t renew it for 6 months and THEN he has to go into...

Besides the court fine, he also got an infringement notice for failing to maintain control of a vehicle - the driving on the wrong side of the road bit. From memory the prescribed penalty for that is about $400 odd. Ironically if he didn’t crash and had failed to wear his seatbelt, he’d have...

Some bbq chook and fresh bread and real butter. Amazing.

It’ll be private and paid for by CTP…

It’s not mine. It’s ours… The only thing more ridiculous than the system, is the process one has to go through to try and effect legislative change.

Drugs impair your fine motor skills, regardless of ability to mask said impairment. That is the starting point of all legislation relating to being under the influence of something and driving a vehicle, horse, bicycle, whatever. Alcohol has known effects on the body regardless of alleged...

No. The definition of grievous is long and tedious and the case law ridiculous. Grievous effectively means - all but dead... Even a severed limb might not be enough.

Yep. Damn ginger!

Does your doc have to present an evidentiary certificate for court that is produced and peer reviewed at the one forensic lab in the state?

Yep. 2 different tests. JAC’s was a roadside drug test. The secondary test for that is conducted on a station or van based Draegar drug testing instrument. The whole testing process including transporting to station is completed in tens of minutes depending on the drive. Mam’s was a roadside...
