I know there's just a couple of Swaggers camp up in that area, so you need to watch the mossies!

It is something, that nobody wants to go through, to go to work, and your family member don't get to see you come home.
I'm referring to the shocking incident   where the Coles employee was attacked by a youth with a knife.

Coles response,
They will not stock Kitchen Knives.
I'm trying to understand this response

"Coles will no longer sell knives in its supermarkets nationwide after a staff member was stabbed in an allegedly random attack near Brisbane.

The 63-year-old worker was stabbed in the back while filling fridges at Yamanto Central shopping centre in Ipswich on Monday.

A 13-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder, accused of stabbing the woman with a knife.

On a recent trip to England, I had to show ID to be able to buy a small fruit knife in a department store. But the stoopid thing is, all they did was look at it, and didn't take any details. Which makes you wonder, what was the point of showing ID? It wasn't for proof of age, FMD I'm 70 yrs old.

[Bigpickle]

It's all about Coles endevouring to generate some good news by showing how concerned they are about their workers.
Be a better situation if they dropped their exorbitant prices for the general public.
Just another knee jerk reaction.

A 13-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder, accused of stabbing the woman with a knife.

A Coles supermarket worker is fighting for her life after allegedly being stabbed in the back by a 13-year-old boy. The teen allegedly approached the 63-year-old worker as she filled fridges at the Yamanto Central Shopping Centre

Stabbed in the back FFS... and the sad thing is being so young, he will get a stern talking to and a finger waved at him - and returned to be a worthless parasite on the community again... I'm tipping he's one of the people that get away with everything...

...from another forum...

"A teenage boy was out on bail in Queensland when he allegedly stabbed a Coles
supermarket worker so hard in the back the knife came through the front of her abdomen.

The 13-year-old has been charged with attempted murder over the alleged attack at Yamanto Central shopping centre, Ipswich, on Monday afternoon.

Queensland Police allege he grabbed a knife off the shelves and stabbed duty manager Claudia Campomayor Watt as she was stocking shelves, before fleeing the scene.

Ms Watt, 63, was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, and has since improved to serious while being treated at Princess Alexandra Hospital.

The teenager was out on bail for a number of offences at the time of the alleged incident, including for an alleged attack on a carer using scalding hot milk which left her with burns to her neck and face, 7 News reported."

Hmm, using a Great White as bait to go Orca fishing ...

Must admit, never thought of that one!

[OldPaj]

I recall something in the media a while ago about a pack of Killer Whales of the coast of WA, regularly attaching and killing/consuming a Blue Whale, the biggest of the whale species. As such absolutely nothing about them would surprise me. Wolves of the sea!

Very   

[warthog]

Very   

A very stupid individual who put the lives of others at risk. Glad the sentence was increased. It seems stupid sh it on the roads generally goes unpunished.

The trial heard Russell, an experienced truck driver, directed and supervised his stepson and Ms Willis as they loaded the caravan, which became so heavy it exceeded the weight limits of the tow ball, axles and tyres.

The car was also filled with their possessions, and witnesses who came upon the crash were "amazed to see the amount of stuff packed into the caravan".

An expert described the effect of the overloaded caravan as "the tail wagging the dog".

During his original sentencing, Russell told the court he had packed the caravan in a similar way before.

He told a community corrections officer: "I was in the driver's seat, I have to live with that for the rest of my life."

The appeal court said the sentencing judge had also erred in finding the dangerous driving only began when the caravan started swaying.

"The dangerousness arose from (Russell's) deliberate decision to set off on a journey towing a grossly overloaded caravan," Justice Sarah McNaughton wrote in a unanimous judgment.

"The passengers, as well as members of the travelling public, were exposed to risk for the entire length of the journey."

Agree 100%
And there are plenty more out there overloading and towing with incompatible combinations that have no idea or dont care about the rules.

So by inference all taxi drivers are serial killers but Uber drivers are saints.
