Exactly what I was saying Booney, thank you, I'm glad someone else understands.
Mental illness doesn't take prisoners or care about what people's jobs are but it can be treated better if people have jobs with better support networks. Spot on. Exactly what I said:

Is it true that it's because he extorted Hawthorn to get a contract or is that a p155 take

Sounds like he was owed money and used King to get it back, if someone owed me $100k I would use any means I could

Ensure you keep the noise to a minimum. Mavis and Hurtle often forget to turn their hearing aids down so like their theatre on the quiet side.

Vickery's now been let go, but King was charged with threats to kill, making threats to kill, two counts of threats to inflict serious injury and two counts of using a carriage service to harass. Very interesting, pretty serious charges there for the Push-Up King.

Even though the cops couldn't help, there were probably better ways to retrieve the disputed moneys rather than enlisting the help of organised crims. I mean, at least give Mick Gatto a call first, he's a professional negotiator! ;)
