Yeah,they're on a par with Greyhound owners  |

i'm sure that this isn't a surprise to anyone...... QUOTE Logan man charged with murder after alleged road rage
A Queensland man has been charged with murder after allegedly causing another motorist to fall into the path of a truck during a road rage incident in Brisbane's south. The incident occurred at the Gateway Motorway on-ramp of the Pacific Highway at Eight Mile Plains at about 3.15pm yesterday afternoon Police say a 36-year-old man from Yarrabilba assaulted a 50-year-old Munruben man, causing him to fall onto the roadway where he was hit by a garbage truck. The 50-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. It is believed the two men were not known to each other and had become involved in a road rage incident. Paramedics treated the truck driver for shock. Police are understood to be reviewing dashcam footage from inside the garbage truck and from CCTV cameras on the highway. The 36-year-old man was charged with one count of murder and is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court later today. |

http://www.msn.com/en-au/motoring/news/chr...fSlSa?li=AA8ewQ QUOTE Chris Evans, reborn Top Gear get May 8 UK debut 5/34
Chris Evans confirmed that the reborn Top Gear will arrive for UK viewers on May 8. There was no indication of when the new show would hit US screens, though. The Clarkson, Hammond, and May-less new version of the BBC's Top Gear will make its big return to British television screens on May 8, new presenter Chris Evans told BBC Radio 1 on Saturday, The Guardian reports. The new crew has already begun filming the first 16-episode "series" as the Brits call it, although Evans confirmed work would continue up until a few days before the premiere. Evans told Radio 1's Saturday Kitchen that the team had "already started making the films," and that show was "going to America to make our first intercontinental in January." Evans wouldn't release much more in the way of details, of course. It's still not clear who his co-hosts will be or how the show's format will change from its previous instantiation. Keep in mind, TG underwent radical changes between its original form and the Clarkson-helmed version of the show we all know and love. While it seems unlikely that the BBC would mess with such an extremely successful formula, anything is possible. It should be noted that the May 8 date is for UK viewers. The BBC's history of airing new episodes of TG has fluctuated over the years, although for the most recent seasons BBC America viewers barely had to wait 24 hours for new shows. Considering how popular TG has become in the US, we'd be very surprised if the Evans-led show didn't use a similar scheduling arrangement. Of course, we'll be sure to update you as soon as the American release date – as well as any other news – is confirmed. |

i saw this on the news last night, didn't realize that this occurred down on the Gold Coast. QUOTE Gold Coast man charged over alleged 'coward-kick' attack on Korean student
A Gold Coast man has handed himself into police over an alleged unprovoked attack in which a Korean student was "coward-kicked" in the head. Security cameras recorded the disturbing assault and robbery, which took place outside a karaoke bar in the Scarborough Street mall late Sunday. The footage shows one alleged offender chatting with the students, as the other hovers behind the group before swiftly kicking his victim unconscious. The alleged offenders then search the student’s pockets and steal his phone and wallet. The student was taken to hospital for treatment and his injuries were not life-threatening. A 26-year-old Labrador man attended Southport Police Station yesterday after the video emerged of the alleged attack. He has been charged with one count of armed robbery and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He will appear in Southport Magistrates Court today. |
