Is the Member for Clarence a ning-nong, or what?

Steve Cansdell, the Member for Clarence, has shown yet again that he knows less than nothing.

Today's Daily Examiner reports:

Member for Clarence Steve Cansdell has revealed the NSW government can't appeal the ruling by Magistrate John Andrews to acquit 10 Adults over their part in the Yamba Riot.

Mr Cansdell said as part of the judicial process the government has to remain separate from the police, who prosecuted the case.

Revealed???
Truly, what does the bloke know about anything?

More on identity theft - a warning about a so-called ATO website

A scam email doing the rounds again purports to be from the Australian Tax Office.

The email states:

"Subject: Please submit your tax refund
After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund . Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 3-6 days in order to process it.
See your refund status by downloading attachment."

The email's attachment leads to a webpage that looks very much like an official ATO page, but it's not! The page seeks tax file numbers, date of birth and other personal details.

Details about the sender of the email are linked to the e address info@stout-associates.com

Who's been stealing my name?

Google Earth snapshot of the fictitious residence of the creator of the suspicious domain names

 Who's been stealing my name?

That will probably be the question on the lips of NSW Police Commissioner Andrew P. Scipione and two North Coast police officers when they find that their given names have been used to create web addresses and/or they are the nominal owners of not one but at least ten Internet domain names.

One of which spectacularly leads to a male escort website homepage graphically displaying photographs of nude torsos and erect genitalia.

These domain names were registered in 2011 and some are now being offered for sale by the 'owners'.

It seems that one particular New South Wales resident has experienced a burst of dubious creative flair at the expense of the state police force.

No wonder Tony Abbott can't lie straight in bed...

Look at the stable Australian Leader of the Opposition trained in. According to his own biographical notes at www.tonyabbott.com.au Tones teh Terrible Abbott admits:
"His previous career was in journalism, where he wrote as a feature writer for 'The Bulletin' and 'The Australian'."
The Bulletin may have been a xenophobic and openly racist Packer publication, but The Australian is of course a News Ltd newspaper and I have to wonder if it was at the feet of Rupert Murdoch that Tones honed his ability to tell political whoppers.
Abbott still writes for News Ltd today under its Daily Telegraph masthead and has been doing so since at least 2008.
In the last few days Tones has been fronting the cameras peddling one of his many proven falsehoods ie ''This is a draconian new police force chasing an invisible, odourless, weightless, tasteless substance''
It seems that, like Murdoch, the Opposition Leader still believes we love to eat manure at breakfast time.
