The cheapest ticket for that cruise is about $5.6k, each, for a group of 4. The website has a link for suit hire. Presumably it's a lack of imagination on my part, but i can't conceive of a person who has that much to spend on a cruise but doesn't have a suit. What is their target demographic?

Police officer in Roberto Curti's fatal arrest escapes conviction for assault

Senior Constable Damian John Ralph placed on a good behaviour bond after he was the only one of three NSW officers to be found guilty of the Brazilian student’s assault, which led to his death

Tuesday 16 December 2014 15.28 AEST

A police officer who assaulted Brazilian student Roberto Curti during his fatal arrest in Sydney’s CBD has escaped a conviction. Curti died in the early hours of 18 March 2012 after a chase and violent struggle with police in which he was shot with a stun gun, handcuffed, hit with pepper spray and knelt on. Following an inquest into his death and a lengthy local court hearing into the matter, Senior Constable Damian John Ralph was the only one of three police officers to be found guilty of his assault on Tuesday. Shortly after handing down this decision, magistrate Claire McFarlane placed him on a two-year good behaviour bond with no conviction recorded. Ralph’s lawyer Roy Hood told the court the serving officer, who has been on restrictive duties since December 2013, had been a “troubled soul” since Curti’s death. In finding Ralph guilty of assault on Tuesday, McFarlane said the senior constable had used at least two cans of pepper spray on Curti. It was deployed within 15cm of the 21-year-old’s face, while he was lying stomach down and being knelt on by other officers.

“While I accept in the heat of the moment he may have thought it was appropriate ... it’s obvious it was not,” she said. But she found Ralph was a man of good character, who was unlikely to reoffend and suffered from post-traumatic stress as a result of the incident. Ralph, along with his colleague Chin Aun Lim, were charged with Curti’s assault, while fellow officers Scott James Edmondson and Daniel David Barling were charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The court heard Curti became increasingly afraid after taking the drug LSD before his death. When he stole two packets of biscuits from a convenience store, it was incorrectly reported as an armed robbery involving two men. When Curti was later spotted by police, he had no shirt and shoes on. He was tackled twice by police on Pitt Street before being brought to the ground on the third attempt. He died at the scene.

I'm sure that the article erroneously left out the prefix "ex-" in front of senior constable, because surely after being found guilty of an assault which lead to death this "troubled soul" has been removed from the fine organisation known as the New South Wales police.

Everyone is looking for something to die for, and it's always something that isn't worthwhile. I wouldn't die for the nbn, but what makes someone willing to die in a race war?

A lot of methed up hillbillies are ranting on about their definable right to do something that shouldn't be that big of a deal.

I refer to the speculation on the after effects of the situation in Sydney.

Not much time has passed but it sounds like everyone wishes they were going back to the bad old days of Howard, what with the gun control and the bigotry. Looking for something to die for.

Times have changed. While you can draw parallels all day between now and then things are new this time round.

I alsi find little concern for the likes of Pauline Hanson and the RTF are relics. Dinosaurs. We have real Queenslanders in Parliament. Katter and Palmer have currently neutralised that market.

People felt more at ease with the PM talking to them on breakfast television every morning. The skeeze of closed doors on the news bulletin is putting normal people on edge,

That void gets filled with everything else on the gossip networks and nothing gets you angrier than hearing what someone else said about you. A scurrilous piece of gossip is an easy petard.

Opposition leader Bryan Green saves Risso's dolphin at Cooee beach By MARK ACHESON Dec. 16, 2014, 11 a.m.

SAVIOUR of marine mammals, opposition leader Bryan Green saved a Risso's dolphin on Cooee beach this morning.

It's very rare to find the species in Tasmania, experts say.

Mr Green initially thought the stranded dolphin was a whale, but on further inspection found it to be otherwise.

He was walking along the Cooee beach about 7am today.

He pulled the dolphin into deeper water with each wave that hit the shore.

By himself, Mr Green had to tug the mammal by its tail before turning it around.

He watched it swim off east towards Table Cape.

Wildlife biologist Kris Carlyon said there was a sudden pulse of Risso's dolphin beachings in Tasmania,which was very rare.
