  No convention centre ever produced anything useful to a city that I can think of, including coin.

  We already gotsum, why we need more is beyond me.

  I would have thought that a preconception of guilt based on a defendant’s appearance would be precisely the sort of thing to cause a juror to be removed?

  Yes indeed.Still, a jury of your peers is a mixture of minds so maybe that is acceptable. Doesn't your Lawyers have the right to decline members of the jury at time of selection?

  Want to run that line, why not just abolish Parliament, the Police, the courts and pretty much anything that helps maintains a civil society under the rule of law? It would save billions every year, the downside is that you’d end up with a country no sane person would want to live in.

  Well let's just do it for one month then and clear the current deficit. Fresh start? Everyone gets a pony. {;)

  . It will be interesting to see what the papers do in the morning,

  Herald,

  Seeing that this was the first reason I came to Public Address, I'm glad that the jury saw sense. It would be stupid for the Crown to try again, surely? Waste of, yet again, taxpayers money.

  Change the language on the signs and it could be any number of hole-in-the-wall restaurants here in China.

  Curious about the grey walls in the Melbourne shot. Is that council privacy laws against views into neighbouring buildings, or blanked advertising or what? Fantastic photo. We certainly don't see enough of Alex's photos in my opinion.
