Queensland MP Billy Gordon has been charged with unlicensed and drink driving.

It's understood Mr Gordon had been drinking while watching State of Origin before driving his partner's car home in far north Queensland.

Aww! Grist on the Labor-Haters mill!

Don't pretend that type of thing doesn't happen on the other side as well. Does the name Troy Buswell ring a bell? He even used his taxpayer-funded government car to do the damage, and the Police didn't even dare investigate.

It took memories of his customary loutish behaviour (bra-snap, chair-sniff) to finally get rid of him. And still no adequate prosecution - unless any retribution has been utterly hushed-up.

Billy Gordon will eventually face the same fate......He has been in more strife than a monkey with a basket of eggs.

Not a good prospect. Would be better to cancel the Games right now rather than walk straight into trouble.

This isn't going to end, these creeps are using religion to justify violence, they should be executed when caught but only after interrogation to get some info out of them

Still several snakes in the populace that remain undetected. They must be being covered by the community they live in because any sane person would be alerting authorities to suspicious activity.

Of course they are, and it is not a question of sanity, but of total war...except only one side is wagging it while the western world is in denial:How can they loose?

The French may need to rethink their generous offering of "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity" to all comers.
On the basis of those three, it is even illegal to profile by ethnicity, religious beliefs, or heritage. At least used to be illegal; maybe they've woken up since Charlie Hebdo and made some exceptions. But I doubt it.

Not sure if the coup has been successful or not, some reports I've read label it as an "attempt".

Should've bought the gold I was considering yesterday.

Better watch out if Putin gets involved

The President has reiterated his claims that the group who initiated the coup attempt are supporters of Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is based in the US. He labelled the attempt an act of treason.

From the ABC web site, wouldn't you expect them to check for errors before publishing ?

Looks like the coup is over. Saw video of soldiers hands up surrendering.

 

[Wysiwyg]

So the high ranking military are going to be imprisoned and in themselves become reason for continued instability. Surely this attempt will not be in vain.

Police are exploring the possibility of terrorism in a central London knife attack which has killed one woman and left up to six people injured.

Police were called to the scene at 10:33 pm (7:33 am AEST) after reports that a man seen with a knife was injuring people at London's Russell Square.

A man was arrested minutes later, with one arresting officer discharging a Taser.

More to come.
