/\ have you switched to an nbn provider yet? apparently we now have it! is it optional or am i already on their lines and havent noticed? i have a stack of pamphlets and letters to sort through, and really cant be bothered, as i really dont trust any of them! can anyone recommend a company? does it matter?
just switched the A/C to heat, i cant get warm today! yesterday i was between two bits of scaffolding sealing gaps, laying down on my crook shoulder, which feels like its gone back 6 months in rehab today, and it was belting down. Thank god anything i can do on scaffolding is now done! Hubby sure as hell wont let me near the paint gun!!

Nah, haven't switched, I'm staying on the cable til I have to change.
Tech came out Monday while I was at work and replaced some connector or something in the box on the outside wall. Spoke to him on the phone and he reckons that should stop it and so far so good. May have had something to do with when they installed the second foxtel box a while back and had to run a second coax from the box. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Fkn numbats. The people dying of cancer and the staff trying to support them through it really need that shit.
So many sanctimonious self righteous tossers wanting to tell people how to think these days. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

There is a fire station near there. Use the trucks and hose those tosspots down the drown. The staff and patients (and families) have a enough stress without those pricks. Probably the same mob who are not allowed to vilify people outside abortion clinics. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Sitting at home spaced out on Endone after slicing a couple of tendons on the back of my right hand. Installing a space heater when my hand slipped and whacked into a sharp metal edge.
Had surgery on Saturday, likely to be off work for at least two weeks. Sort of lucky Easter and Anzac day reduces days lost. |

How the **** didthe prick who killed his wife only get 6-9?
He should have got that for lying to his daughter, and another lot for lying to the police.
He should have got that for the bit where he won’t disclose what happened.
This is not manslaughter it’s murder every day of the week, what a $£$%^%%$ joke our justice system is. What a $£$%^%%$ travesty _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Well, because he wasn't sentenced for murder - he was sentenced for manslaughter. I've pointed this out many times before but I will say it again: it doesn't matter what the judge actually thinks, they can only sentence a person for the particular crime of which they've been found guilty.
Here are the sentencing reasons: http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/vic/VSC//2019/253.html
At sentencing, the only significant disagreement between the prosecution and the defence seems to have been about how serious an instance of manslaughter this was. The Judge concluded it was serious - but not as serious as some.
Here, for comparison, is a statistical analysis the sentencing council did of manslaughter sentences over a five-year period a few years back: https://www.sentencingcouncil.vic.gov.au/publications/sentencing-snapshots/141-manslaughter-higher-courts. If one looks at the "imprisonment length" table, it looks like manslaughter sentences in Victoria typically ranged from 6 to 11 years, so 9 is not unusual.
We might or might not agree with the Court's reasons but it's no surprise that this was the outcome. |

It helps the prosecution if they have the victim's body. |

They have the body.
See that’s what i don’t like P4S the max is 20 the judge should be able to give that, does anyone really believe this was an accident? If so why would he not say what happened? _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

It doesn't matter what anyone believes, it's what can be proven. |

No-one thinks it was an accident. If it were an accident, there would be no criminal offence in relation to the death (although there might, of course, be other offences in relation to concealment, obstruction of justice etc). Thus, it was manslaughter.
In that sentencing link I posted, the information plainly demonstrates that the usual "tariff" for manslaughter was between about 6 and about 11 years. The maximum given in the 5-year period was between 14 and 15 years. That door prize was awarded to a lucky recipient just once. No-one got more than 15 years - and probably no-one is ever going to. A judge who hands out a higher than usual sentence and thereby goes outside the established sentencing range for a particular crime will likely have the sentenced overturned on appeal for "manifest excess". |
