I Have Moved

Just a note to let you know I have moved. I don't know if anyone is even following this blog, but hey, we'll soon see.

Derek Percy Makes New Grab For Cash

But this is a cash grab I support him on. Despite the fact he's a cold blooded killer, the law is the law.
The mother of one of his victims, Jean Priest, who's daughter Linda is believed to have been abducted and killed by Percy. Priest took Percy to court in the hopes of forcing him to answer questions about her daughters disappearance, but she lost the case. Under the law, if she loses the case, she must pay court costs:

CASHED-up child killer Derek Percy is crying poor as he makes a fresh demand on a suspected victim's mother to pay another $48,000 in legal costs.

The latest insult comes as Premier Ted Baillieu and Attorney-General Robert Clark yesterday ignored calls to help pensioner Jean Priest, who must already pay $32,247 to Percy.

The Supreme Court has issued orders, by consent, that Ms Priest pay Percy's legal bill after she lost a bid to force the killer to give evidence about her daughter Linda Stilwell, 7, whose body has never been found. She was abducted from St Kilda in August 1968.

Hundreds of readers offered support for Ms Priest and pledged financial help after her plight was revealed in the Herald Sun.

"I just want to thank everyone who has wanted to help. I just feel overwhelmed at the moment by all that love and support," she said.

I think the ruling is fair enough. She had failed in one bid before to force him to reveal details and would have been told to pay costs then, yet she decided to take him to court again knowing what the outcome would be.
Just because her daughter was killed doesn't give her the right to get out of paying those court costs - if she does, we could have anyone arguing that they shouldn't have to pay court costs because of some terrible misfortune.

Pay the money, Mrs. Priest. And stop complaining.

Did This Couple Kill Their Disabled Daughter?

The girl had Rett syndrome, which would have left her severely disabled, and she apparently drowned in a pool. Her mother was a swimming instructor who didn't perform CPR on her daughter, and she and her husband had asked about euthanasia before she died:

A COUPLE was worried their disabled toddler was interfering with their "idyllic" lifestyle and investigated the possibility of euthanasing her shortly before the girl drowned in a backyard pool, a court was told yesterday.

An inquest at Glebe Coroner's Court is investigating whether the two-year-old's drowning in a pool at her Northern Beaches home was the result of a "deliberate act" or a tragic accident.

The inquest heard the girl's parents, who cannot be named, described themselves to social workers as "happy and beautiful people" living an "idyllic" lifestyle. But they were also so distressed by their daughter's disability - a neuro-developmental condition called Rett syndrome - they asked health specialists whether euthanasia was "legally possible".

As they explored the possibility of foster care arrangements, admitting the girl's condition was "dragging us down", the toddler drowned.

I couldn't imagine how stressful it would be to have a disabled child. It would have been a huge burden on them - it would be on anyone.

I don't think the girls drowning was deliberate - I do not believe she was pushed into the water, but I do think the couple saw this accident as a blessing, a way to relieve their daughters future suffering. Think of it as a mercy killing, if you will.

I do not think this couple should be punished.

Couple Abort IVF Twin Boys Because They Wanted A Girl

There has been a lot of talk about this over here, and I honestly can't figure it out. This couple did nothing illegal. The woman had an abortion because she wants to balance her family - they have three boys at home, and want a girl to make the family complete:

A COUPLE so desperate for a baby girl that they terminated twin boys are fighting to choose the sex of their next child.

The couple, who have three sons and still grieve for a daughter they lost soon after birth, are going to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to win the right to select sex by IVF treatment.

They say they want the opportunity to have the baby daughter they were tragically denied.

An independent panel, known as the Patient Review Panel, recently rejected the couple's bid to choose the sex of their next child using IVF.

They have gone to VCAT in a bid to have that decision overturned.

VCAT recently ruled that it has the power to review the Patient Review Panel decision. It will hear the couple's case in March.

So determined are the couple to have a girl that they recently terminated twin boys conceived through IVF.

http://www.news.com.au/national/desperate-couple-abort-twin-boys-in-desperate-bid-for-ivf-girl/story-e6frfkvr-1225983907853

It is not a crime to have an abortion in this country. There is no difference in aborting a baby boy than there is in aborting a fetus because it has Down Syndrome. I don't see the right to lifers demanding people be forced to give birth to retarded children, and lets face it, they are not affected by this story, only offended.

Back off and leave this couple alone.

Iranian Court Sentences Man To Lose Eye And Ear

Sounds fair to me. I mean, if the Yanks can kill anyone they choose to, why can't Iran dish out the same punishment that the accused inflicted on his victim?

AN Iranian court has ruled that a man must lose an eye and an ear after he blinded another man and burnt his ear in an acid attack.

Judge Aziz Mohammadi gave the order against the man, who was only identified as Hamid, after convicting him of the throwing acid on the victim, named as Davoud, said the hardline Kayhan newspaper.

The judge also ordered Hamid to pay blood-money for the burn injuries suffered by Davoud, in a ruling issued under the Islamic republic's eye-for-an-eye justice code.

My apologies as I have no idea how to insert a link. Someone will have to show me how to.

Anyway, back to the article. The punishment sounds fair enough to me. He injured another man and the victim lost an eye and an ear, now the court has decided he must suffer the same fate.

How is this different to the American courts sentencing a man to death because he committed murder? Oh, but I forgot - America can do what it likes and is never wrong, but they are free to attack any other country they see fit.

Gay Bar 'Peel Hotel' Loses A Unique Status

They no longer have the right to ask people their sexuality before allowing them to enter. I can't understand why - it's a gay bar, why can't they be sure that only gay men will be in attendance there?

A GAY men's pub has been stripped of its unique right to ask people their sexuality before allowing them to enter.

The Peel Hotel's three-year-old exemption to anti-discrimination laws was dumped to comply with Victoria's Charter of Human Rights' privacy protection provisions.

In 2007 the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal granted the Collingwood bar the right to refuse entry to "people who do not identify as homosexual males" if staff believed their presence would adversely affect the pub's nature as a gay bar.

In a fresh ruling this month, VCAT senior member Cate McKenzie granted the Peel a new three-year exemption minus the gay ID provision.

Instead the new exemption allows Peel staff "to explain the nature of the venue to prospective patrons ... and to permit them to choose whether or not to enter".

The pub can still bar those it believes may threaten the safety or comfort of patrons or the pub's nature as a gay bar.

The Peel did not oppose the changes.

I don't understand this. The hotel will want to protect its clients. They don't want some straight men going in there to gawk or to make fun of gay men.

The best thing is, I guess, is that very few straight men are going to want to step foot inside a gay bar.

Saint Kilda AFL Nude Photo Scandal

I couldn't miss the chance to comment on this:

UPDATE 9.43.am: THE teenage girl at the centre of the St Kilda nude photo scandal says she is "so angry at everyone" she could "f---ing scream".

The 17-year-old posted a series of short live streamed videos online in the wake of the photos being uploaded on Facebook.

In one of the videos, she declares: "Do you know how f---ing angry I am at everyone? Oh my God, I could f--king scream" before unleashing a piercing scream.

The videos, filmed in Queensland, see the girl say she would kill someone when her mobile rings.

She also defends her story, saying she is telling the truth.

"You guys have got to help me out. Seriously, I need all the support," the teen says in the five-minute video.

"I need my friend who was in Adelaide with me who can prove (something). Lisa, where are you baby?"

Basically, this girl claims to have had group sex with multiple AFL players a few months ago. She also claims to have around 20 other nude photos of various players, which she says she downloaded from another players computer. She claims to have fallen pregnant to Saints star Sam Gilbert, although this has never been proven.



She claims to have lost the baby, then discovered she was having twins, and one fetus was still alive. Her Facebook page (which I am trying to track down) apparently shows images of the girl pregnant. Later she claims to have lost that baby.

It's all very convenient that there is not one shred of proof to back up her story. Not a DNA test on the fetus, no evidence to prove she was ever pregnant to Gilbert. Shame that so many people believe this girl.

She's only 17 years old, yet alleges to have partaken in group sex with the players. GROUP SEX! At the tender age of 17. I don't know about you, but that screams SLUT to me, and a few other choice words.

A video of her is currently on YouTube, she claims to be telling the truth, and that she has a 'friend' who can 'back something up' for her. Media outlets are not allowed to reveal the girls name, or her face, but the video is up for all the world to see. Her name appears to be Kimi, and if you don't mind my saying, she looks like a whore who fell into a vat of fake tan.
