Re: Bushfires
Much of the media here likes to protect the guilty.

We get some of that here, but arrest records are public if the perp is an adult. News sources know we will go to where we will get the info, so they eventually spill the beans.

Re: Bushfires
Really? Or is it more they like to protect the innocent? People such as yourself are quick to judge people guilty purely on media reports before they have faced a court to answer the evidence, Black Orchid.

Re: Bushfires
You obviously never watch A Current Affair (ACA) constantly harassing people coming out of court, shoving a microphone in their or their families faces.

Re: Bushfires
An interesting point. Of course, you've got the builders' side of the affair, Cods or you just basing your views on what ACA decides to reveal?cods wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:21 pmI do red....they usually go after people who have got away with diddling people out of their hard earned savings...

The point is that all too often people like you only listen to one side of the affair. I've served on two juries. It is a lot harder to make a fair and impartial decision that you appear to believe. My brother has served on a major Murder case's jury. He also relates how hard it is. ACA isn't interested in free and impartial decisions - they just want to abuse people to get good ratings and guess what, 'cause you watch them, they count that as a win.
Sounds to me like they saw you coming. I've never been scammed. None of my family have ever been scammed. Perhaps it's 'cause we don't give money away to random people?I have just been scammed of $150.. wish they had exposed that little trick 3 weeks ago.....
