Weirdness characterizes Liberal Party candidate in the McMahon electorate


The Sydney Morning Herald 31 August 2013:

A Liberal Party candidate proposed a radical new policing system in which criminal suspects would be injected with satellite-trackable microchips shot from a ''high powered sniper rifle''.
Ray King, who is contesting the western Sydney electorate of McMahon, was behind the idea, which he claimed would improve productivity of the NSW Police Force.
Mr King, a former police commander in Liverpool, landed in hot water on Friday over critical comments he made about burqas at an election campaign function where guests included the disgraced former detective Roger Rogerson and current assistant police commissioner Frank Minnelli.
In 2011, Mr King outlined his ideas in a 12-page essay, Microchipping of human subjects as a productivity enhancement and as a strategic management direction of NSW Police...
The most controversial part of Mr King's plan was the means by which microchips would be inserted into the body. He named Danish company Empire North as having patented the ''ID Sniper Rifle'' as the ''long-distance injector'' of the microchip.
But a search for Empire North in Copenhagen suggests the company does not exist and the ID sniper rifle is actually part of a plot of a Danish sci-fi docu-drama called Empire North.
A Liberal source said the essay was a ''futuristic scenario'' but, in the Liverpool Champion on March 30, 2011, Mr King raised microchipping as a genuine prospect. ''I'm an advocate for this type of technology,'' he said. ''I think we need to explore the use of microchips to help put criminals behind bars.''

Is Gina Rinehart after evidence that one or more of her children may have breached a court suppression order?


Finally, a clue to why Gina The Great is intent on trashing the journalist’s right to protect sources.


All of us now being subpoenaed by Gina Rinehart are being asked to hand over documents stretching back to the exact same date 18 months ago.

The date - Sep 5, 2011 - is significant. It's the day three of Gina Rinehart's children launched action against her in the NSW Supreme Court.

In Rinehart v Welker [2011] NSWCA 425 (21 December 2011):

The West Australian 5th April 2012:

Or could it be this?


Litigation reportedly returned to the courts on 12th March 2013.
