Up Front: Fringe of Darkness, in reply to Katharine Moody,
Many/most parents became victims, just like their children.
But parents can leave just as they came.Children don't have that luxury. If the answer they seek wasn't there, why stay? And if the answer was there . Kick them to the curb now.! Why subject children to something that has never been considered acceptable, just to stay . My other thinks about this quite deeply because of times in his youth he was subjected to dirty ol' men, felt the BBC condoned much of the behaviour coming to light now and acceptable behaviour in his community to get such things as scout patches. The 60's in the UK. We need more education. To allow a better understanding of indoctrination. To be able to recognise it. To be able to walk away. Don't get me wrong, 13 was a good age for me to be curious. At 13 I wanted to experiment . But it was my choice. That difference is acceptable.

Up Front: Fringe of Darkness, in reply to Katharine Moody,
I grew up with Artist parents. Great people with great friends who started the Browns Mill market. The place was one big family. People from Albany, People who lived at Centrepoint also. I never saw anyone at the Markets as anyone who wasn't creative artistic people. We had so much fun. One jeweller left his wife and kids for a 17 year old daughter of one of the people at the Markets. That was considered risque. It's the forcing children that I find so abhorrent. I just would expect any parent to want to protect their kids. It really says to me that the parents were really screwed up to begin with. Which as a bigger picture, was it repetitive behaviour on their behalf? Were they already repeating what had happened to themselves? And seriously, there needs to be more of them answering questions and being charged collectively if need be. This is absolutely not acceptable. This should be a class action. :(

Was wondering Anke or Emma. Is Angie ok, had surgery, and back from Bali? Cos it would be pretty horrible after all she’s contributed to your story, to be left there suffering .
ETA, I'm just flabbergasted at the sheer size of Potter's influence on other commune adults. To convince so many to allow such abuse of so many in a place that I thought of just being a hippy commune. I now wonder about the women I knew who stayed there. :(

Legal Beagle: Cameron Slater: computer hacker?, in reply to Stephen Judd,
The only angle I can think of, since David Fisher wrote both stories, is that he tried to get some noise made and failed,
From the Herald article
The police decision to seek detailed information without a legal order appears contrary to the position stated by Assistant Commissioner Malcolm Burgess to the Weekend Herald last March.
He said there were "controls around how information is both requested and provided ... While the Privacy Act provisions can be used to access low-level information, such as basic account details, higher-level data must be obtained through a production order," he said.
I'd even suggest this may have been an issue for Fisher.Also, seeing that Scoop got access to the court file and could divulge the information, he may have just been reaffirming what he suggested back in March and what was proof that Burgess was full of shit.
Another point gleaned in Scoops is that no other agency that the police requested information from would give them any. -
Hard News: Judicial caprice is no way to…, in reply to Alfie,
Thanks Alfie, I was really trying to see what the outcome was as home detention was supposed to be considered "promptly". Well, if this is promptly, I'll eat my hat.

Hard News: Judicial caprice is no way to…, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
This can no longer be found, it seems the article you linked to which I read yesterday, has been removed from the Herald . Even a capture of some of what you show quoted returns no article in the Herald although I selected some of it and the article said it existed, as soon as I select that ,it still shows no such thing in the Herald. Definitely gone and nothing to follow up on it either. Nada.

This warrants an exposé – the spread of Rural Terrierists and their effect on the terroir…
Which reminds me wordsmith..., clink clink. :)

Envirologue: 1080, "eco-terrorism" and agendas, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Not to mention that they don’t actually *want* to eradicate mammals, as they’d have nothing left to hunt
Plenty of pigs and goats in the bush too. And your hippy reference. I know one hippy with a gun ,the rest are farmers and locals at the pub. all of them see it as their duty to save the flora and fauna. All believing every effort helps. The pig hunting dogs are now being studied because their wild pig meat is making some of them sick. Enough of them to warrant research now. But hey chenobyl is doing fine without the human life, so may be a bit of poison, a bit of radiation, not so bad.
