TWO underage sisters dressed only in lingerie were hauled out of a bar by their mother after being served free alcohol by bar staff.
Commission chairman Richard O’Sullivan yesterday announced that he was suspending the licence at Duck’s Nuts for two days as punishment.
The sisters - aged 16 and 17 - were refused entry to the Hookers’ Ball at Discovery nightclub when they couldn’t provide proof of age in December last year.
He argued that a licence suspension would cost Duck’s more than any fine if the case had gone to court.

Now here is a great idea:
1. Sack all security staff
2. Dump all under age laws

With the money they save, they can sell drinks a lot cheaper; leading to even more Idiot Drivers and an even higher road toll.

A MAN who raped his wife with a metal pole and brutally bashed her to death in a prolonged, booze-fuelled rage at an Alice Springs town camp has been ordered to serve two life sentences.
It is one of the longest sentences the Northern Territory Supreme Court has ever handed down to an Aborigine.

Finally the law is getting tough on crime! As my dear readers know, I am an advocate for death penalty and that would have been the one and only penalty for a crime like this.
But we have to be satisfied with what we have got.
Two life sentences is surely a very long time in jail.
But hang on, then I read a little further:

He faced a minimum of 25 years in prison but crown prosecutor Nanette Rogers argued the nature of the attack and Djana’s ongoing history of abuse warranted a higher sentence.
Justice Mildren agreed and ordered Djana - who had breached a number of restraining orders following previous assaults on his wife - to serve two life sentences. He sentenced Djana to a minimum non-parole period of 27 years in jail.

What a farce! The law is blind it is said, well I like to extend on that, the law is stupid.
This brutal bastard would have to spend a whole 25 years for a ‘life sentence’?
But now, because he has received two life sentences he has to spend TWO extra years?
TWO years of a life sentence? Sickening, absolutely perverted sentencing.

It’s gotta be red.

What a great experience! I can highly recommend this shop.
Not only for the highly over salty chips and the luke warm chicken
(Food must be kept at a min. of 80 degree) but also for this absolutely
stunning example of good customer service.
It’s gotta be red.
My eyes were, but I decided not to punch him, but rather post it here
and send this post to the head office as well…
