Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
HIS HONOUR: All right. Luke Ronald Tarrant, you have pleaded guilty to three counts of armed robbery. You can stay seated whilst I am sentencing you; it is hard to see you otherwise. You were of mature age at the time you committed the offences, being 32 years old. You have a criminal history in […]
So, as I say, these were serious offences. It would have been frightening for each of the complainants concerned. There was a clear premeditation involved in the commission of the offences. You went there armed, no doubt to ensure compliance with your demands. The complainant the subject of the offence in count 2 has suffered […]

When is the last time you saw a protest 4th v 1st upheld when the margin was over a length? When is the last time you saw a protest 4th v 1st upheld for interference between the 600m and 500m marks? When is the last time you ever saw any on this happen in a […]
This is Natalie Hinkley’s Swiftbet stand at Flemington today. As you can see there is nobody there. Natalie didn’t show.
