Higgins Man Arrested for Grooming

I’d be more interested to hear what Tom Cruise thinks, after all he is God.

Doesn’t it say something about old goats laying down with lambs? A clear reference to NZ.

I didn’t think it mentions New Zealanders specifically.

Its pretty sad, I wonder what the Book of Mormon has to say about all of this??

Naaah, I’m happy in my current Detective job.

From the Telecommunications Act 1997 – Section 7 (the one relevant to grooming via interweb, people):

“carriage service” means a service for carrying communications by means of guided and/or unguided electromagnetic energy.

Also, I suggest farout never become a judge.

The plot thickens…
So it appears we have a 14 year old Kiwi who is either:
(a) an employee of the NRS provider; or

(b) an emergency call person; or

(c) an employee of an emergency service organisation; or

(d) an APS employee in the Attorney-General’s Department acting as a National Security Hotline call taker.

Moi? Nah, I’m an Aussie, honest!

I have a certificate to prove it! 🙂

Mr Evil, I think you have a vested interest in encouraging people to pick up New Zealanders.

“C. Who in their right mind sees Jolimont Centre as a good place to pick up?”

Murrays – bring people together.

What sort of carriage was she coming down in: a giant pumpkin?

He will face the ACT Magistrates Court tomorrow on charges of using a carriage service to cause offence.

So he’d be fine if he didn’t use a carriage service and drove her down himself?

C. Who in their right mind sees Jolimont Centre as a good place to pick up?

A. Who in their right mind would want to pick up a 14 year old?

B. Who in their right mind would want to pick up a New Zealander????

Damn – I was there on Friday morning catching a bus to Sydney. If he was there then, I may have put out, making a quick buck for myself and saving his arse from jail 🙂
