Watching that on the Today Show this morning, not too proud to say I got something in my eyes. Heartbreaking


Any loss of life is bad but kids, young and innocent dont hurt anyone, worlds ****** sometimes

And apparently the mum is pregnant to the alleged killer.

Summer in Spalding ending this weekend.

The town of 250 people comes alive in summer with one cricket teams, 2 x tennis teams and 2 bowls team all playing. This week sees the tennis GF and that's it for all the Spalding sides. From there everyone pretty much evacuates and heads back to Adelaide for uni, work, school etc and that special weekend vibe is gone. Best time of the year by far...….hard to put into words how much our fam loves it.

Footy is great but with the club being based around 3 towns and then everyone being split amongst a few footy sides, bunch of netty sides and those that don't play it doesn't have the same feel.

I'd imagine you all bunker down for the winter up there before it actually hits anyway. Got the wood pile sorted?

Yeah mate always got plenty of wood...…..

We had so much this year we were able to donate roughly 200kg to the older adults in our community on top of what we needed for our own use.

I used to do some work for the Hamley Bridge Memorial Hospital
Same thing - go up there during the week and there were crickets and tumbleweeds
On the weekends it was full up. Sport is very important to these towns

Absolutely, that's how Spalding rolls. Dead during the week and then come the weekend there is whistles and sport going on everywhere. Our cricket, tennis and bowls all play at 3 different venues but within 1km of each other. Going to be awesome next year though as we have the tennis club moving to where the cricket club is so we will all be together for games. Cant wait to I get a duck and can then go watch the misses lose 6-0 in tennis, that will put a smile on the face :lol:

At a guess would say summer sport is the only thing that keeps the pub above float. Guaranteed 50-70 meals sold every Saturday Night and then thousands over the bar. Throw in all the clubs buy their alcohol solely from the pub as well for gamedays.

If she was psychotic she may be regarded as not responsible due to her mental disorder.

You have to be fairly seriously ill for that defence to work, but there are a lot of seriously psychotic people not in hospital or not being treated, as they need to be clearly "a danger to themselves or others" to be held in hospital against their will, or forced to take treatment they don't believe they need. That is not always easy to make stick even if you think it is true due to law changes that started back in the mid-1980s...

True - the tricky bit is whether they are so Psychotic they don't register that what they are doing is "wrong" morally or in the eyes of the law.
Personally I think only a small minority of people with psychosis reach that point of not knowing their action is wrong and I've given evidence in court a few times on that issue.

Some of the more severely ill are detained in hospital for assessment and determination of that issue. Sometimes a clever lawyer gets someone off on the basis of psychosis, and it turns out they were not that psychotic.

Another issue that gets some people off is having a rage reactions due to Temporal Lobe Epilepsy which can cause automated behaviour in a technically unconscious state. That is rare but perhaps more convincing that just having psychotic delusions.
