And so the Melissa Caddick saga ends. 72 creditors get back about half of their investment. 32 of them have won a class action against her company's auditors and will share another 3.5 million - bringing them around 11 cents in the dollar. But as always, lawyers and accountants are the big...

Story in today's NT News. Paywalled.

Who remembers Yahoo Serious? It seems like he's being an utter bastard to some friends who rescued him when he really needed help. This is from A Current Affair today - picked up via Youtube.

Another victim comes forward. Like his predecessors, I hope his courage is justified. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-07/broadcaster-alan-jones-fresh-assault-charge-eleventh-victim/105023898?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

A 17-year-old with a loaded shotgun (but no ticket) boards a Jetstar plane at Avalon Airport, Victoria. A quick-thinking passenger takes him down...

I like it - a kind of country big band.

Another young mother missing in outback Queensland. Some clues in this report - and a few cryptic comments.

Pandemonium in Tamworth today, with a tragic outcome. Meanwhile, Channel 7 news needs a dictionary.

Quite a surprise - a new dig begins tomorrow.

The Western Bulldogs were not mentioned because the crimes he has been charged with occurred after 2012 - when he was on the Eagles list.

The West Coast Eagles Hall of Infamy has another potential inductee. https://nit.com.au/16-02-2025/16302/ex-afl-player-faces-court-for-alleged-child-sex-crimes

Investigations into the disappearance (and presumed murder) of Kath Bergamin - another northern Victorian mystery - has continued for more than 20 years. It's a frustrating case, with strong circumstantial evidence against two prime suspects. But so far, no result.

A serious question. Why are there no seagulls in Galle?

26 years with parole, less time already served. Barely enough. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-31/adam-charles-lusk-sentence-sexual-offences/104867730?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Guilty of manslaughter - all 14 of the nutters. Now we await the sentences, expected to vary with culpability. Over to you, Your Honour. Please don't let humanity down again. Rest in peace, precious girl.

Given it's recent history, the Daily Mail's credibility is still in question. But this is a well-put together program with some compelling insights. Although it's 30 minutes long, it's well worth the watch if you are a Lord Lucan tragic like me.

$3.5 million as bail? That's okay, you can have it. I'm off. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-23/questions-asked-forged-bail-document-used-to-flee-rehab/104850092?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

Nope - more like Sturgill Simpson. Tony Joe (another of my heroes) is the king of swamp blues. But as always, the lines between all these classifications are blurred.

He's a genre-hopper A5, and he handles all of them. He writes like a balladeer, sings like a folkie and plays guitar like a genuine rocker. I can't believe I took so long to find him.

"We want a better outcome for the family and we want justice." Well, here's some information. Justice is served when someone breaks into your home and they end up injured, in custody or dead...

Yesterday (January 19) was Dolly Parton's birthday, which is a good reason to post this video. George Jones and Dolly Parton - country music doesn't get any better than this.

As was obvious, the 13 year-old has form and was on bail for another serious assault. So why was he out and about unsupervised?

This is the Channel 7 report. Police seem rather coy about the offender's criminal history.

Although his name was vaguely familiar, somehow I had missed the opportunity to make the acquaintance of Mr. Ray Wylie Hubbard - until yesterday. He has been performing for more than 50 years and has released more than a dozen albums, founded on gospel blues, folk, country and Texas...

And Happy New Year to the cheeky little tyke who won so many hearts. Keep digging people, and keep asking questions. At the very least, William's memory deserves answers.

Geez....just thinking about some of those mad afternoon and evening sessions launched with the nectar of the agave. $8,000 a bottle? Ay, Dios Mio!

I have never been on a cruise ship, and never wanted to be anywhere near one. Why, you ask?
