the thing is, even if a bad person slips through the cracks of hiring (even with improved WWCC databases etc), if the things educators are asking for would be implemented - rather than the things politicians implement and then pat themselves on the back for and say job done - it wouldn't matter...

I feel terrible for her. Textbook case of parental alienation IMO

terrible. Every parent of an autistic child's worst nightmare

I hope they find him

Looking at his mugshots... this man needed serious, deep mental health treatment years and years ago. Letting him be 'free' has hurt other people and hurt him as well - hurt his chance to live a normal, productive life. While the old asylum system was obviously inhumane, is what we replaced it...

It's the platonic* version of women who fall in love with serial killers and marry them. *well, I'm assuming.

Because the ultimate pain he could inflict on her was killing her children and leaving her to mourn them And taking himself out so her pain and frustration is all her own, he is beyond her punishment or judgment. Cowardly in the extreme JMO

they keep getting away with it. Feels like connections count for way too much in this country because for people like them, sub judice laws don't apply apparently.

$1m? So a normal house in Australia then? realestate.com.au puts the current median house price in Adelaide at just over 1m. https://www.realestate.com.au/sa/adelaide-5000/ Nice try DM but house prices in Australia are insane right now and having a house worth millions means... having a house.

Right, to me an author might write well but their opinion is meaningless. I might as well ask my neighbour what they think. I care as much about their opinion as an author's. As for Websleuther's opinions, sure they can be interesting. But they're also *free* and they're not trying to sell me...

I really have no interest in reading books about the case by people who just have random opinions. Like, all due respect to authors generally, but why would anyone give a rats about what Helen Garner or any other writer thinks about it? Its just a cash grab. I don't rate it. Their opinions and...

Did you forget the link @Kemug? I found this article, is this what you meant? 'I wasn't sorry I did it': Why Fairlie Arrow faked her own kidnapping I'd forgotten all about her.

I'm not sure. That's only for things directly related to the crime, I believe. Like selling the story, or selling things you gained during the committing of a crime. I know in NSW, prisoners can create artwork that is sold to the public and most of the money goes back to the prisoner.

No idea what the dam will show up. But the family continue to be fully cooperative, haven't lawyered up or stopped talking. I feel like by now most families that were responsible or covering up something would have started to crack, or stories about former CPS involvement would have leaked. I'm...

Correct. Growing numbers of parents encourage their children to disrespect teachers, because they have no respect for education as a whole. If it wasn't for the 'babysitting' they get from schools they'd probably not bother at all. They don't care.
