12-year-old 'pulled replica gun on teacher

Wednesday May 23 05:00 AEST

By ninemsn staff

A 12-year-old boy has been charged by police and suspended from a Western Sydney High School after allegedly threatening a teacher with a replica pistol.

The Year 7 student thought it was just "mucking around", according to newspaper reports, but he has been suspended for 20 days over the incident.

The boy allegedly pulled the realistic gun on a female teacher at Plumpton High School on Monday after being caught playing tackle football.

Staff called police to the school who seized the illegal replica and charged the boy with using a prohibited weapon and assault.

He will appear in Cobham Children's Court on June 12.

NSW students 'plotted gun rampage

Wednesday May 23 05:00 AEST

By ninemsn staff

Two Year 11 students from country NSW have been placed in psychiatric care after it was revealed they discussed carrying out a Columbine-style school shooting rampage.

The boys created a hit list of students and staff they wanted to target at their high school and discussed carrying out the massacre on an internet chat site, The Daily Telegraph reports.

A student who is believed to have been on the hit list came forward on May 16 and told the principal of Crookwell High School, northwest of Goulburn, about the boys' plans.

After interviewing a number of students, police approached the youths along with their parents and had them sent to Gouldburn Base Hospital for psychiatric assessment.

The father of one the two boys, both aged 16, reportedly has a licensed firearm.

The students are believed to be still in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health ward at Gouldburn, and have not returned to the school..

At an assembly the school discussed the incident and sent a letter home to parents, which offered students counselling.

Rule Number 1 - Golden Bay and Port Kennedy are chalk and cheese despite being 8 mins away from each other.

Rule Number 2 - Port Kennedy is a huge suburb so the likelihood of me knowing them is small

Rule Number 3 - No I do not know anybody from Port Kennedy.

'Lion Man' convicted for assaulting partner
1:15PM Wednesday May 23, 2007
By David Eames

TV star and game park owner Craig Busch was this morning convicted on two charges of assaulting his former partner after he came home to find her in bed with another couple.

Busch, known to viewers as the Lion Man, admitted the charges yesterday as he was about to stand trial in the Whangarei District Court on a total of five assault charges, two charges of threatening to kill and one of unlawful sexual connection.

The other charges were subsequently dropped after the Crown offered no evidence.

The assault charges were laid after Busch came home late on the evening of January 15 2005 to find his partner in bed with two other people.

In the ensuing struggle, which saw Busch attempt to pull his partner from the bed, the victim suffered a number of injuries that have resulted in ongoing medical treatment and which have left her unable to work.

The court heard today that his former partner had gone to the couple for comfort after being told to leave her home by Busch.

He walked in and grabbed his partner by the hair, though the couple tried to calm him and explain things weren't as they seemed, the court was told.

The injuries included swelling and bruising to her torso and fractures to the lumbar and rib fractures.

A second charge of assault was laid after Busch, the following morning, attempted to manhandle the victim into her car and drive her off the property.

Previous conviction

Busch has a previous conviction from 1991 for assaulting a female, a charge for which he received what was then periodic detention.

Crown Prosecutor Peter McGee today rejected a submission by Busch's lawyer John Haigh QC that Busch be convicted and discharged.

Busch should not be able to use his celebrity status to avoid justice, Mr McGee said.

"The message must not only go to this man, but to all others... if you assault a woman in these circumstances then the consequences will be severe."

However, Judge Michael Lance agreed with Mr Haigh that Busch's assaults were a "human and inevitable" reaction to seeing his partner in bed with other people.

Busch should however have been aware of the possible consequences of his actions, Judge Lance said.

He stopped short of imposing any penalty on Busch, saying the convictions alone were punishment enough.

He ordered Busch to pay $8000 reparation within 14 days to his former partner.

Soldier imprisoned for selling pistol to gang member
2:35PM Wednesday May 23, 2007

A soldier who sold a pistol stolen from Linton military camp's armoury to a gang member for $1000 has been imprisoned for 90 days and dismissed from the force.

Gunner Levi Shane Haye, 19, yesterday pleaded guilty at a court martial to stealing the pistol, the Manawatu Standard reported.

Haye also pleaded guilty to wilfully damaging service property, by removing the pistol's serial number, and selling a firearm to an unauthorised person.

Prosecutor Major Steve Taylor told the court Haye stole a Sig Sauer P226 pistol from the armoury while checking other weapons for cleaning on October 16 last year.

The hearing was told Haye sold the pistol, worth more than $1500, to Dannevirke man Michael Fiti for $1000.

When police and MPs searched Fiti's house they found the pistol hidden down a sofa, and also uncovered Black Power gang patches.

Maj Taylor said Haye admitted the offending during the interview and was cooperative.

"When asked why he took the pistol, the accused stated that it was taken in the heat of the moment and that he did not think twice about doing so."

In sentencing submissions for the prosecution, Captain James Munro said Haye's removal of the serial number indicated he had "an appreciation, at least, that the gun may be used for unlawful purposes".

Defence counsel, Major John West, agreed with the prosecution that dismissal from the army was appropriate but said a prison sentence would be "extreme".

Maj West said Haye had repaid Fiti the $1000, but "gang members are not known to have kind thoughts of those who cooperate with police".

Haye will serve his sentence at the Services Corrective Establishment at Burnham Camp, near Christchurch.

Furniture thrown from 14th floor
May 24, 2007 04:10pm

A man has been detained under the Mental Health Act after throwing a table and chairs and other items out of a 14th-storey window in Adelaide.

Police were called to the King William Street building about 12.30pm (today after reports of a man leaning out a window and throwing items including a glass table and chairs onto the street below.

Witnesses said they saw him throw a large television antenna, something resembling a crow bar, another large item in the shape of a cross, a saucepan, drinking glasses, a rock, an MP3 player and a white Jim Beam hat.

Police cleared the area below the building after a large rock was also thrown from the building, smashing through a bus window and injuring a 75-year-old man.

He was not seriously hurt and was taken home by a police patrol.

A police spokesman said a man in his 20s was later detained on the 14th floor of the building and was being assessed in the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

What are the chances a driver has almost written off that bus before the rock incident?

Well if I was on that bus, I would have been hit by the rock and the splattering glass, with the amount of near-death experiences I have had with brick throwing punk assed youths in the Spearwood area.

cos that's the detail we expect from journalists. imagine if a witness to all this saw the article minus a reference to that - they'd be thinking: 'but i swear he threw a hat as well! and it was white!'

Obviously the order to include the branding in the article has come straight down the chain from Rupert himself.

Bus full of tourists taken for a joyride

A drunken man allegedly stole a tourist bus and took its 13 passengers on a joyride around Sydney before leading police on a foot chase.

The 33-year-old man from Abbotsford man returned the vehicle to its original position at Star City Casino in Pyrmont today then ran from the scene, police said.

He was chased by the bus driver and other people, but was eventually brought down in a struggle with police who were on a routine patrol of the area.

A roadside breath test of the man allegedly returned a reading of 0.155 - three times the legal limit.

The incident began about 8.50am (AEST) when the driver of the bus left the vehicle running and was standing nearby waiting for other passengers for a Sydney sightseeing tour.

The man was walking past the casino, boarded the bus and drove off, police said.

He allegedly drove along several local streets before returning the bus to its original location.

He was charged with stealing a motor vehicle with people onboard, escaping and assaulting police, resisting arrest and drink driving.

The man was conditionally bailed and is due to appear in Downing Central Local Court on June 18.

South Australia for the f***ing win!!!!

Hackers claim they put SA on 'Mayfair'


June 7, 2007 - 4:49PM

The makers of the new edition of Monopoly deny South Australia's runaway success in online voting was due to systematic hacking, despite a suspiciously bloated tally.

SA's wine-rich Barossa Valley region earned the vaunted Mayfair spot on the board ahead of landmarks like the Great Barrier Reef, while Adelaide voted well enough to take the next most prestigious Park Lane.

Locations that missed out on a place on the board included Sydney, the Gold Coast and Byron Bay.

The online votes used to determine the placings on the board included no fewer than 7.6 million votes for locales within SA, a disproportionate percentage of the 17 million votes total.

Numerous would-be hackers have emerged to claim credit, with one unnamed web surfer explaining how he influenced the voting process.

"We saw the Victorians had gotten off to a good start and then a couple of the guys on the website started mucking around with it and developed a couple of programs," he told News Ltd.

"We thought the Monopoly people might change the voting system once they realised what was going on but the votes kept adding up.

"It was a great feeling when the Barossa and Adelaide got the two top positions on the board because we knew we'd beaten the system."

But game maker Hasbro's Monopoly marketing manager, Amanda Blackhall, claimed the Barossa's triumph was largely due to networking among people within the region.

"All measures were taken to pre-empt and ensure any attempts to do so would not undermine the integrity of the Monopoly election campaign," she said on Thursday.

"While the hackers concerned might have believed that their attempts were successful, they in fact had very little impact on the excellent results Barossa achieved.

"Barossa's success can however be attributed to the people in the region networking with family, friends and related industries to ensure all got behind the campaign and voted."
