Ashamed that this guy is a pillar of the Canberra community - on the board of the Hellenic Club no less!

'Disturbing': Photos emerge of Canberra developer posing trophy kills



Update - he has now resigned from his board position with Hellenic.

Yes, it's a disgrace, I'm thinking the release of this information now is related to the ongoing saga connected to the Curtin shop development.

Anyway, it's a shame he doesn't seem to have values like another Canberra resident in David Pocock.

He is to be admired (imho) for his views towards poaching, ssm and environmental issues. Politics for him after his retirement from rugby, perhaps?

I have a photo somewhere from our local shopping centre, they parked on the pedestrian access to the lift foyer (wedged between the door and the bin). Someone came and roped the car off while I was shopping.

I took a photo and showed security and they put barriers around it.

Pity they didnt use steel or concrete bollards and they will remove them on their own timeline.

You should submit it to Sydney's cough Parkers

The number plate gives the game away.

After he outburst in Estimates yesterday Michaelia Cash had security put up screens so the press gallery couldn't film her walking into Estimates this morning.
Seriously bizarre.

You cannot have high regard for any of them GarrettM. They treat our tax payments with disdain and work out ways to rip us off if they get a chance.

Oh I am the first to agree that SA motorists are the rudest and worst drivers in Australia.

Well, wasn’t she being referenced with regards to one of her male workers leaving?

I thought your drivers were quite docile... compared to Sydney.

This is why I took one lecture in Anthropology at Uni and walked out. Mother's brother's father's in law, cousins twice removed - you get my drift......

I really loved Anthropology at uni - could only do a minor though. I did much better at it than Philosophy 101 which was a disaster!

Well yes, but try sneak into the space and suddenly there is an increase in speed and it’s gone. Flick on your indicator and same thing. Gap closes. The exception I will make is peak hour traffic and dare I say, younger men and businessmen who understand about traffic flow. Younger women will not let you in, old people will not let you in. The exception is of course, Moi . Police training and all that, let em in. However, don’t acknowledge my politeness with a wave and you are toast.

Trains also not working?

Good luck!

Colleague tried getting a last minute Virgin train home tonight... they're stuck not quite close to London, so not much better...

So many things that need to be done and today would have been the perfect time to do them. Except it's a public holiday in Thailand and police headquarters in Bangkok to get a police check is closed.

Oh how much I hate Australian immigration.

I believe she was asked to name her new CoS and his background, given the last one departed after tipping off the media to an imminent AFP raid at the AWU, and has been followed by a few more since.

Have the boot full of food and drink and eye off the weakest in the group for just in case you have a Andes plane crash/rugby team survivors event.
