There's a protest ride in Melbourne nest week related to this issue...

[Blakamin]

Good shit... hope they close down the whole street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul in NZ]

That is SAD! Poor bugger taken out by some could not care less trash like that! How fast must she have been going????

She stopped and checked her car was ok? Oh well, as long as I'm ok then.. Typical selfish oxygen stealer mentality...

aarrgghh! Good on them for protesting... I bloody would too!

hang on a sec guys. she is on bail. she hasn't been sentenced, let alone convicted yet. what happened to innocent until proven guilty? don't get me wrong - i don't think she should ever be allowed to drive again, but once again, middle class whites have got in their lawyers to argue how thier 'rights' are being diminished, and others are suffering for it. this is indicitave of many of the dubious bail and parole decisions being made by the current magistrates here in NZ also. of course, these decisions bleed down to the great unwashed, who are now receiving compensation for being treated *unfairly* whilst in maximumm security prisons.

Why not "remanded in custody" then.... shit, why can she still be allowed to drive...
I hate to say this about anyone, but I hope her guilt eats away at her and she becomes a basket case...
sorry if this offends anyone....NOT
The fact that she still wants to drive shits me... a flatemate of mine in the 80's had some crazy dude from a home step out in front of his work vehicle at 6 am... crazy codger died... flatmate couldnt get behind the wheel for at least a year... and he wasnt even at fault!

I hear what you're saying Marty but in this case ther woman had his flesh all over her car!! And the article states: "Ms Edwards had admitted spending the day drinking with a friend before getting in the car to drive home." as well as:
"The court heard Ms Edwards told police she had shared two bottles of wine, and drunk two full-strength beers and another half glass of wine during the afternoon." I mean for what reason should she be allowed to still drive if she has already admitted herself that she was pissed as a newt & driving.

[marty]

it simply doesn't matter what the prosecution allege. if her lawyer says that she needs to drive to work, then in my experience, if she is not a flight risk, and if she is not likely to re-offend, then the court will find in her favour.

just one of the reasons i'm not in the job any more..

[marty]

put yourself in her shoes. you make a horrific error of judgment. you kill someone. your lawyer says 'we'll tell the court that you need to work to support your family, and that because you are not a flight risk, promise to go back to court, and are not likely to re-offend, i'll be able to get you bail'. would you say 'no, i need to go to prison for 6 months on remand....'?

50k over or is it 30 over there, bang no license who gives a f*** if you need to drive for work, you can eventually get a license after going through court but not before.

But kill someone and not even have it removed :spudwhat:

Zero tolerance in Victoria.

Their basicaly letting a murderer roam the streets freely...

[Blakamin]

Whats got me stuffed is if you get caught DUI in Vic on the side of the road they take your licence off you for 6 months on the spot!!! how come she gets off???

[AMPS]

This happened when I was over there, the bikers leg was torn off and he bled out before the Ambulance arrived. I think there's a particular corner of hell reserved for her, filled with dozens of priapic bikies.
