A Wrong, Righted.

Just an update on the story concerning the young aborigine boy mentioned in the previous post.   It seems that good sense has prevailed.   The West Australian Police Commissioner, Karl O'Callaghan stepped in and requested the charges be dropped.   The young lad was awarded $1000.00 costs.

Mr O'Callaghan stated that though the charges were "technically correct",  the matter should have been handled by the juvenile justice team.

The Northam Police in defending themselves claimed the boy had come to their notice on several occasions without being charged.

WA Aboriginal Legal Service chief lawyer Peter Collins, stated that the charges were scandalous and that the charges would not have been brought had the boy come from a middle class non-aborigine family.

I am pleased that the charges were dropped,   however I think that by awarding costs the wrong message was sent.   The outcome would have been totally acceptable have the charges been dropped and left at that.

  5. Stan Pearson is another forward of note who was at the club at the same time as Rowley. He didn't quite get to 200 goals but did manage a very healthy 148 in 343 appearances between 1937 and 1953. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchesterunited[/url] The appointment of Sir Matt Busby as United’s manager after the war signalled a turning point in the team’s athletic fortunes. Busby instituted the practice of tapping players from the club’s youth team, then an unheard-of practice, but which soon produced impressive results as the team soon won the Football League in 1956 and 1957. The run ended in 1958 following the tragic Munich air disaster when eight of the team’s players perished. After a shaky period where some thought the club would fold, United once again made it to the winner’s circle by winning the Football League in 1965 and 1967 and the European Cup in 1968.

The Red Devils as they are commonly known have more than 300 million world-wide supporters. Meaning that out of every 20 people on earth, one of them will be a Manchester United Fan! Currently managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are one of the most successful teams in the history of English football having won 21 major titles since he became manager in 1986. During its remarkable history, many distinguished players have run out in the famous Manchester United shirt which can trace its origins back when Manchester United were known as Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club.

The dead squares come into force only in bingo combinations occurring in horizontal or vertical positions.

    The easiest way to avoid falling victim to a scam is to know the site on which you choose to play. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to talk to other people who play online Bingo to get a feel for the sites they use and what kind of experiences they have had with the site. In most cases, word of mouth is going to be your most accurate means of determining the legitimacy of a Bingo or any other gaming site. Of course, if you are using a free site, knowing about the experiences that others have had with the site is not quite as important, although you do not want to waste your time with something that is unlikely to produce any beneficial results. Of course, a free site is not going to give you much in the way of monetary compensation, and the prizes may be minimal, but for those who are addicted to the game, the challenge is there.
