EXCLUSIVE: He is the recently departed senior News Corp employee who referred to drug users as “iceheads” and once wrote that he was “sick to death of aggressive addicts”. But when True Crime News Weekly outed Centralian Advocate editor Corey Sinclair as an alleged “ice junkie” himself, the News Corp journalist lost all his abilities to talk tough and instead ran cowering behind the might of Rupert Murdoch’s multi-million dollar legal team alleging that he was the victim of defamation. Yet all the while Mr Sinclair was hiding a few secrets – including a recent drugs arrest in inner-city Sydney for the possession of crystal methamphetamine and liquid fantasy (GHB), and a bizarre and twisted alleged defecation incident this year which saw him irrationally making GBS threads on top of a hapless office worker’s desk.

ATM down the road was replaced with a touchscreen model and it's stuffed. First of all why would I want to be prodding at the display like an idiot. And of course it broke, and there's no fall back, the buttons on the side of the display don't do anything. I just want my money. It's a bloody outrage. How do I get dumbshit ATMs looked into in the inquiry?

New South Wales Deputy Premier John Barilaro has called on Malcolm Turnbull to resign, describing the Prime Minister as "completely out of touch".

In an explosive interview on radio 2GB, Mr Barilaro questioned Mr Turnbull's leadership and said he had "lost all hope".

"Turnbull is the problem, the Prime Minister is the problem," he said.

"He should step down, allow for a clean out of what the leadership looks like federally.

"And whoever governs the country needs to make sure that they put the country and its people first."

Mr Barilaro, the NSW Nationals leader, is the highest ranking Coalition MP to publicly call for the Prime Minister's resignation.

"You've got a party in disarray, a Coalition Government in disarray and a community not unified and that is all at the feet of the Prime Minister of Australia," he said.
'Go before Christmas'

Mr Barilaro rose to become NSW's Deputy Premier earlier this year.

"My view is, Turnbull should give Australians a Christmas gift and go before Christmas," he said.

Mr Turnbull said Mr Barilaro had not spoken to him about the concerns.

"It is odd he has never raised these matters with me personally," Mr Turnbull told Melbourne radio 3AW.

Mr Turnbull suggested Mr Barilaro made the comments because he was "trying to ingratiate himself" with radio host Alan Jones, who was interviewing him.

Mr Turnbull said if it was a serious view, Mr Barilaro would have spoken to him directly.

"He has got my number he can call me anytime," Mr Turnbull said.

He said people were not telling him that he should resign and when asked directly if the thought his time was running out he said: "No, absolutely not."

Mr Barilaro's criticisms this morning included the Prime Minister's response to the Queensland election.

The Deputy Premier said the state result had been a "disaster".

"What really got up my goat was on Sunday, was to hear the Prime Minister of this nation say there were no federal issues that affected the state election," he said.

"That's just a joke.

"If you're completely out of touch like that comment, which showed clearly that the federal issues were impacting on the way state voters were voting in a state election, in my mind, it just shows that there is no leadership."

Western Australia's police watchdog has decided not to reinvestigate officers found by a District Court judge to have fabricated evidence, abused their powers and falsely imprisoned, assaulted and tasered an innocent Fremantle couple.
The decision by Corruption and Crime Commissioner John McKechnie is the latest roadblock in the nine-year quest for justice by law professor Robert Cunningham and his wife, Catherine Atoms.
The couple was awarded more than $1.1 million in damages by the District Court last year after suing three police officers who were found to have behaved maliciously and unlawfully towards them.
The case prompted the parliamentary inspector and committee responsible for the oversight of the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) to call last month for the watchdog to take a fresh look at the behaviour of the police towards the couple, including potential criminal conduct.
But in a letter to the committee, Mr McKechnie said he had not changed his position that there was not enough public interest to justify spending limited CCC resources and the Police Commissioner could take action if required.
"I am aware of the criticism of the Commission about its perceived inaction on use of force allegations," he wrote.

No apologies, no disciplinary action
The couple has not received an apology, nor have any police officers been disciplined, after the 2008 incident — which left them suffering post-traumatic stress disorder, physical injuries and big legal bills.
Their troubles began when they stopped to help pull four men out of a flowerbed after a night out in Fremantle celebrating Dr Cunningham's birthday and Ms Atoms' new job.
The noisy group attracted the attention of officers from the Fremantle Police Station and the situation quickly escalated.
The couple was accused of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault — allegations which have been discounted by different courts — and were handcuffed, tasered and arrested.
In the District Court, Justice Felicity Davis said officers Simon Traynor, Peter James Clark and Glenn Alexander Caldwell had fabricated evidence and were unprofessional in how they handled crucial physical evidence, like video footage.
After being unable to get an apology for the behaviour of the police officers the morning after the incident, the couple complained about their treatment to WA Police, the CCC, the Ombudsman, the Attorney-General, the Police Commissioner and the Parliamentary Inspector of the CCC.
'Zap the f***ers'

Both the current and previous parliamentary inspectors of the CCC have criticised the corruption watchdog for accepting the findings of a "demonstrably flawed" internal police investigation.
This inquiry — conducted by staff who also worked at Fremantle police station — cleared the officers of misconduct and failed to interview Mr Caldwell, who tasered both Mr Cunningham and Ms Atoms.
Mr Caldwell, who retired from the force in 2013, gave evidence at the civil trial that he had told officers Clark and Traynor to "zap the f***ers".
"He is the kind of person who would taser first and ask questions later and that he had no regard for police policy for the use of tasers, as set out in the Manual [including that a taser should not be used as a compliance tool]," Justice Davis' judgement said.
Under WA Police policy, tasers may only be used to prevent injuries to police and never to enforce compliance.

The chair of the parliamentary committee overseeing the CCC, Labor MP Margaret Quirk, was scathing of Mr McKechnie's decision, saying the commission "has demonstrated little appetite for investigating police matters, in particular those involving alleged excessive use of force".

She also highlighted the couple's quest for justice, even though her government is continuing its legal appeal against paying compensation to the couple.
The WA government was found jointly liable with the three officers in last year's civil case.

"Dr Cunningham and Ms Atoms were both subject to excessive use of force at the hands of Western Australian police officers, subjected to prosecution, later withdrawn, and have been fighting for acknowledgement and recompense for their treatment for over nine years," she wrote.

In a statement, Dr Cunningham and Ms Atoms said "We strongly urge the WA Government to immediately review, and to respond appropriately, in relation to police accountability and oversight mechanisms, including the way in which the WA Police and the CCC deal with 'serious misconduct' allegations.

"All Western Australians have a stake in ensuring the rule of law is upheld in this State."
