THE victims of an "evil" South Australian pedophile police officer have welcomed his public downfall, almost 30 years after they were horrifically abused. Two women, who cannot be identified, told the District Court that Graham Bennett Fraser - a decorated former chief inspector - could no longer hide from his grotesque criminal actions. Their victim impact statements detail the physical, sexual and emotional abuse they suffered during the 1980s while Fraser rose to prominence in the ranks of SAPOL. "Graham, you can no longer hurt me... now everybody knows you are a pedophile - the scum of the earth," one of the women said. "The statute of limitations you and the police…

The ABC's 7.30 has gained exclusive access to a rare meeting where the heads of rival motorcycle gangs have vowed to fight new laws designed to halt the wave of bikie related violence sweeping the country. What started out with a few shootings in western and south-western Sydney several months ago has erupted into a spate of drive-by attacks. Senior members of the country's most notorious bikie groups - the Hells Angels, The Rebels, The Lone Wolves, the Comancheros, the Nomads, the Black Uhlans - gathered on Monday night in a clubhouse in Western Sydney. At the meeting, several of the bikies said the violence showed the code of honour had broken down between gangs. "Enoug…

PRESCRIPTION medications have been linked to more than three-quarters of all drug overdose deaths in Victoria, a coroner has found. And nearly half of the 338 Victorians who died from drug or alcohol overdoses in 2010 had taken sleeping or anxiety pills, coroner Audrey Jamieson found. The Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association has called on the State and Federal governments to address the hidden crisis of prescription drug deaths. In 2010, 137 Victorians died from prescription medication alone, compared with 50 from illicit drugs and 21 from alcohol, while the remainder died from different combinations of these. Prescription drugs included diazepam, codeine, oxycodon…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AWnxyGsvMM UPDATE: THEIR beards are greying, their tattoos fading and their influence waning. The bikie old guard is being pushed aside by a violent new breed of steroid-pumped, amphetamine-taking young rebels who are flexing their muscle in many of Queensland's 14 outlaw motorcycle gangs, crime experts say. Increasingly, the modern bikie is likely to be in his 20s or 30s and of Middle Eastern or Eastern European descent. Some, like members of Sydney's Lebanese-dominated Notorious gang who are starting to infiltrate the Sunshine State, do not even ride motorbikes. This comes as a bloody battle between the Hells Angels and Bandidos is…

Don't you just love this bullshit US properganda. Fiction: Drug Production Does Not Damage the Environment The illegal growth and cultivation of marijuana has destroyed and contaminated thousands of acres of public lands. To plant marijuana, growers chop down trees and burn off plants, destroying natural wildlife habitats. The pollution continues when toxic pesticides, fertilizers, and insecticides seep into creeks and municipal watersheds. Yep I can totally agree with all the above facts and that these ILLEGAL drug cartel grows damage national parks like Yosemite in the US. According to the USDA Forest Service, the number of marijuana plants eradicated from nati…
