Allison Baden-Clay murder investigation hampered by lengthy delays in forensic testing
by: AAP, Alison Sandy
From: The Courier-Mail
May 26, 2012 4:02PM
(Updated)
THERE are no delays in forensic tests being run in one of Queensland's biggest murder cases, Queensland Health says.
Senior director of Forensic and Scientific Services, Greg Shaw, says forensic examinations in the Allison Baden-Clay murder investigation have been given the highest priority.
The announcement comes after The Courier-Mail today reported lengthy delays in forensic test results are compromising police investigations, prompting a push for better resources and a cut in red tape.
Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson said they were yet to receive toxicology results following the post-mortem examination of the 43-year-old mother of three.

Endangered wombats a nose in front
From: AAP
May 26, 2012 12:57PM
ANOTHER northern hairy-nosed wombat, one of the most endangered animals in the world, has been born at a nature refuge in southwest Queensland.
The joey has been spotted in its mother's pouch at the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge near St George.
Three decades ago there were only a few of the animals left, and Queensland Environment Minister Andrew Powell says each new birth is cause for celebration.
"The northern hairy-nosed wombat was staring extinction in the face in the early 80's when just 30 animals remained," he said in a statement.
The only surviving animals were all in the Epping Forest National Park in central Queensland, but the last census in 2007 estimated their numbers had risen to 138.
"The latest addition to this wombat colony is a further boost to the recovery of one of the world's most endangered animals," Mr Powell said.

Four sisters win High Court hearing in custody dispute
by: Jasmin Lill
From: The Courier-Mail
May 25, 2012 12:37PM
THE four sisters at the centre of an international custody dispute will remain in Australia until their case is heard before the full bench of the High Court in August.
Authorities today did not go ahead with plans to apply for the case to be dismissed.
The sisters' constitutional challenge will determine whether they have a right to be heard in the custody dispute between their Sunshine Coast-based mother and their father, who lives in Italy.
If successful, the challenge could clear the way for children in custody disputes to be heard in future Family Court matters.
The siblings had previously been ordered to return to Italy, but they will now remain in Australia at least until the High Court case is settled.

Baldivis mum relives daughter's abduction terror on walk home
by: Kristy Symonds
From: PerthNow
May 26, 2012 6:36AM
A BALDIVIS mother today told of the terror of her daughter's attempted abduction after getting off a local schoolbus on Tuesday afternoon.
Larna Jones' 10-year-old daughter was approached by a man, aged 35-45, after getting off a school bus on Karnup Road, near Baldivis Road at 3.45pm.
Ms Jones said her daughter was about 100m from home when the man got out of his car and told her had puppies in his car and walked quickly towards her.
She said her daughter initially froze but, immediately recognising the warning signs that she was in danger, "snapped out of it" and jumped a fence, running and screaming for help.
The man chased her daughter yelling out for her to stop.
"She knew instantly that he was there to harm her," Ms Jones said.

Thank you Muffy for the picture of a Hairy Nosed Wombat. I have seen a Bare-nosed Wombat, which is the more common variety, in the wild. They can be seen very rarely after dark on roadsides close to dense bushland.
They are often jokingly said to be "slow" but are in fact more intelligent than their close cousins, the Koala.
I have found an interesting site with pictures and facts about these animals.

The drop down menu headed Wombat Information is worth browsing.

Venus transit special for Australia
Updated: 09:50, Wednesday June 6, 2012
It'll be akin to watching a pea rolling in front of a watermelon and it has Australians excited.
People around the country are lining up and logging on to watch Wednesday's transit of Venus, which won't happen again for another 105 years.
From 8.16am (AEST), our celestial neighbour Venus will travel between Earth and the sun, and will be visible until 2.44pm.
But if you want to see it, online broadcasts are your best bet. Looking directly at the sun risks irreversible damage to your sight.
Professor Michael Drinkwater, of the university's Astrophysics group, says transits of Venus occur in pairs eight years apart, separated by gaps of a little over 100 years.
::snipping2::
Captain James Cook travelled to the island of Tahiti in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus. It was on that expedition that he later discovered the east coast of Australia.
A century later, scientific expeditions were sent across Australia to observe the transits of 1874 and 1882, with many of these successfully recording the event.

Police return Gerard Baden-Clay's impounded Toyota Prado 4WD as murder investigation continues
by: Alison Sandy
From: The Courier-Mail
June 05, 2012 12:00AM
THE husband of Brookfield murder victim Allison Baden-Clay is back behind the wheel of the white Toyota Prado impounded by police as part of their investigation.
Gerard Baden-Clay was yesterday seen leaving his Century 21 franchise, which he recently relocated from Taringa to Toowong, in the family's four-wheel drive but refused to say what caused the significant damage to its left front bumper.
He also ignored questions from The Courier-Mail about his wife's death.

Dingo took Azaria, coroner finds
From: AAP
June 12, 2012 1:19PM
A DINGO was responsible for the death of Azaria Chamberlain in 1980, a Northern Territory coroner has found.
Coroner Elizabeth Morris told a packed courtroom today that a dingo was to blame for the attack at Uluru, which originally saw Azaria's mother Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton jailed for murder and her husband Michael given a suspended sentence for being an accessory after the fact.
Both were later exonerated after a royal commission in 1987.
A smiling Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, flanked by her son Aidan, told the waiting media outside a Darwin court that Australia was a ``dangerous country'' and her story had now been vindicated.
::snipping2::
For those who are not aware of the background to this decision, it is the case on which the movie Evils Angels is based.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Angels_%28film%29
Evil Angels (released in Europe and the Americas as A Cry in the Dark) is a 1988 Australian film directed by Fred Schepisi. The screenplay by Schepisi and Robert Caswell is based on John Bryson's 1985 book Evil Angels, the title under which the film was released in Australia. It chronicles the case of Azaria Chamberlain, a nine-week-old baby girl who disappeared from a camp-ground near Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) in August 1980 and the struggle of her parents, Michael and Lindy, to prove their innocence to a public convinced that they were complicit in her death.

Allison Baden-Clay murder: Rumour of indemnity application for accessory rejected
by: Alison Sandy
From: The Courier-Mail
June 12, 2012 12:00AM
QUEENSLAND'S top lawmaker has denied claims he's been approached to grant immunity to a suspect in the murder of Allison Baden-Clay, but says he would be happy to consider such an application by police in the future.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie yesterday blasted Ipswich councillor Paul Tully for blogging about an alleged offer of immunity from prosecution to a person who may face charges over the murder, as an accessory before or after the fact.
"If the police put in a request I have the power to grant immunity to someone if they believe they can get someone by evidence that's going to incriminate someone else, but I haven't had that approach as far as I know," he said.

What a horrible cloud to be living under all these years. I fear it will do little to satisfy those who believe they are guilty. I am sure it must make them and their loved ones feel better however.
Thanks for sharing this incredible story.

I know Sister. There are many still believe Lindy was responsible or was covering for one of the boys. How terrible to carry that aura of guilt for all these years. Now she can feel vindicated. A link to the transcript of a very recent interview with Lindy :
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/program/connect-asia/lindy-chamberlaincreighton-welcomes-coronial-finding/959836
Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton welcomes coronial finding
Updated 13 June 2012, 16:32 AEST
Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton has welcomed the formal findings of a coronial inquest which found that her daughter, Azaria Chamberlain, had been killed by a dingo.
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton was found guilty of Azaria's murder in 1982 and she was sentenced to life imprisonment, a conviction that was quashed a few years later.
It has taken a murder trial, four coronial inquests and a Royal Commission, and even a Hollywood film starring Meryl Streep, but now there's a piece of paper that backs her account of what occurred - that a dingo took her baby daughter from a tent at a camping ground near Uluru, in central Australia.

Sending out an APB for our Bee
Muffy do you think it would be an idea to start a thread in the "Missing - found deceased" for Allison Baden Clay? I have posted some items in here and the time between her being reported missing and her body found, and then the arrest of her husband on suspicion of her murder, did go for longer than I originally expected. My thoughts are that monkeys may be interested in our court proceedings as the husband goes through the process. Bearing in mind that our courts are not as open as they are in USA so we do not get live coverage and have to rely on reporting in the media.
I can dig back through the media and try to recreate the events as they unfolded.

Enjoying life in the slow lane
by: Jim Tucker
From: The Sunday Mail (Qld)
June 17, 2012 12:00AM
SUSIE O'Neill was one of Australia's best and most loved swimmers with eight Olympic medals over a long career.
The Queensland champion who wore the mantle of "Madame Butterfly" for her dominance of the demanding 200m butterfly competed at three Olympic Games and is heading to London this year with a microphone as part of the blanket Foxtel coverage of the Games.
Q: If you had Twitter and Facebook in the old days, would you have been sharing the inner Susie O'Neill with the world?
A: It's easy to say "no" now because I'm nearly 40 but you don't know what you would have done at 18, 19 and 20.
I'm a pretty private person and I probably would not have.
Q: OK, tell me one one thing that we did not know about one of Australia's greatest swimmers?
A: I don't think competitors knew exactly how nervous I was and how much I doubted myself before races. It's what I try to tell young kids now. You always have an image of what you imagine Olympic gold medallists to be like. When I saw Jon Sieben and Duncan Armstrong win gold medals and then met them they seemed such confident and extroverted people. I always thought you had to be like that to be an Olympic gold medallist. When I became one, I realised you don't have to be like that. You can have different personalities.

Algester 102-year-old athlete at centre of new documentary
by: Erin Pratt, Southern Star
From: Quest Newspapers
June 16, 2012 12:00AM
Ruth Frith is a 102-year-old athlete from Algester and one of three centenarians to star in the documentary The 100+ Club.
The inspirational documentary showcases the great-grandmother's unique athletic ambitions which began at age 74 making her the oldest athlete in the world.
Filming began on Ruth's 100th birthday in 2010 and continued for a year, capturing her endeavour to break world records in javelin, shot put, discus, heavy weight and hammer throw at the 2010 Australian Masters Athletics Championships.
Mrs Frith said she wanted to be part of the documentary to show younger generations that age is no barrier.

Step inside the John Tonge Centre, our own 'CSI: Brisbane' forensic testing laboratory

A BODY is found. Police scour the scene and begin investigating.
In the background there are specialists working around the clock to help solve the case. Swabs from clothing, cars, walls, carpets, blood stains, semen, hand prints, hair and flakes of skin are processed, along with physical evidence such as fibres and textiles.
Scientists are pulled off regular duties and put on to the murder case.
Forensic pathologists perform autopsies, conducting up to 100 tests, while DNA is analysed from samples taken from crime scenes and loaded on to the National Criminal Identification DNA database.
"We will try to get a profile from anything," senior director of Forensic and Scientific Services Greg Shaw said.
"That enables police and ourselves to match an unknown profile with a known crime scene or to match a known criminal with a sample from a crime scene where there were no suspects previously.
"In the most recent homicide investigations we've assisted police with, we've had results consistently to them within 72 hours," he said.

Crime bosses grow rich on smuggling Australian wildlife to foreign black markets for pets

FORGED certificates, secret code words and cages of endangered wildlife hidden in backyard sales rooms - welcome to the underground trade in rare Australian animals.
These tactics are keeping smugglers in business in one of the world's biggest hubs for wildlife trafficking.
Blue-tongue and shingleback lizards, skinks and other Australian reptiles are among species illegally sold at Bangkok's bustling Chatuchak Market.
The Australian Crime Commission has linked wildlife trafficking from Australia to organised crime groups, with syndicates able to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a trip for smuggled bird eggs on the Asian black market. Experts estimate an Australian lizard can fetch $7500.
"There is a huge amount of money in it, much more than people realise," Flinders University forensic science expert Adrian Linacre said. "And yet the potential to be caught is minimal."
A Sunday Mail investigation in Thailand found daily raids of the markets by Thai authorities have driven some operators underground, where once-vulnerable species were openly displayed for sale.
