  1. From ABC News Online:

    Prominent Adelaide barrister Eugene McGee is to face fresh charges
    arising from the Kapunda Road Royal Commission in South Australia.

    State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Stephen Pallaras has
    recommended that Mr McGee and his brother, Craig McGee, be charged with
    conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

    Mr Pallaras says he is recommending the new charges after considering
    the second, confidential report from the Royal Commission handed down
    last month.

    this article outlines some stuff that really makes you wonder how Mcgee ( and now his brother) got off so far, so lightly and why it's taken so long!

    In the wild days of swift dispatch of justice of the 1880s an act like this by a soul-less coward like Mcgee would have seen the perpetrator rendered unable to walk by his neighbors and probably enjoy the view for a few seconds from a high tree limb before the drop.

    This guy surely had the where-withall to know exactly what he was doing and it certainly puts the lie to him being under "stress" at the time. ( his main defence and the judicial reason for getting a low fine and short disqualification).

    Shows too, who much the prosecutors at the time were incompetent ( funny what that none of them now are in their old jobs !)

    Now again this is more fuel for cycling advocates to roll with the punches and ensure all drivers are responible under the law and that the law is such that all law enforcement officers, prosecutors and the courts act fully and openly under their duty to society where cyclists are involved as innocent victims.

    bring it on....see you all at the Goat!😠 😠 😠

  6. This story also featured on Page 3 of todays Australian. Very prominent and even though its from the same stable as the "tizer" it does give more/different info.

    Brothers to be charged over hit-run - link to story

    Can our faith in the legal system be restored ?
    Should have taken more notice when I saw the story recently but it appears that around the same time as Ian Humphrey was killed by Eugene Mc Gee there was a random shooting in SA, think the victim lived (?) but the person who did it got off with a small fine ! . Thats gone to appeal but after what we have seen I wonder what will happen.

    As FD commented, so much negative [censored].

    Positive side - Summer is coming - FAST so get all the wish lists made, fix it if its broken, buy up now and get ready to ride off into the sunset singing some raunchy riding song at the top of your lungs.

    Have Fun

    16 to 26 and fine here today

  7. Oh bugger, just saw this thread, I've already posted a heap of stuff over here:
    cyclingforums.comt277952 latest on our mate eugene.html

    Will he finally get his day in court? I want to see resolution, due process and hopefully a move towards behavioural change et al.

    The sun is shining, and maybe it's going to be 23C on Sunday.
