Yep it is but if we as the general public can see this then police should be on top of that aswell. Also investigative journalists . If they are not then they are not doing there job properly IMOO

If we mention it here each time we see this kind of abuse, maybe the investigative journos will twig and look for it.
I think that some journos might follow the WS thread, just in case.

Definitely agree these people should be investigated if they are breaking the Coroner’s NPOs. She has stressed in court what isn’t allowed to be published in SM more than once.

Trouble is with slander or defamation, it’s up to the FPs to take action against those people in a civil court AFAIK but, of course, they have other, probably more important, considerations.

If there are threats, then this should definitely be reported to police. It is a crime.

Could you be an SES member if that was the case ? I wonder if it’s something checked.

Im not sure if they can deny you however I applied for the SES in Sydney and a part of that were very extensive police background checks. It possibly could be for priors of arson or working with children / community danger sort thing I dont know

Interesting about the disclosure of the campaign

Today we're looking at how William's foster parents engaged a public relations firm to lobby for more police resources, including a million dollar reward for his return.

The public relations company, Insight Communications, has now worked pro-bono for more than four years to keep William’s name in the news, and prevent the case from going “cold.”

Cost to the business have been off-set by raising donations through the Where’s William website, and by selling William-themed merchandise. More than $182,000 was spent distributing Where’s William stickers and posters, and keeping the Facebook page active.

The campaign has been highly effective in keeping William’s name in the news. It put pressure on police, some of whom took umbrage at the involvement of lobbyists, something that happens very rarely in Australia.

“We didn’t like it, but you can’t blame them. If it was your son, what would you do? You’d do everything,” said one detective who worked on the case.

They did it because most missing persons’ cases peter out after a year or so. They wanted to keep pressure on.

Detective Gary Jubelin, who was removed as head of the Tyrrell investigation at the beginning of the year, also wanted Insight’s help, because “he was very much aware of the public sentiment, and the fact that people weren't coming forward with information.

The Insight team worked with Detective Jubelin to get the State’s first million-dollar reward for a missing person.

“When we were talking, I remember, Gary discussed that certain amount had been offered for reward.

“And William’s (foster) dad just said, that is not enough. It's not enough for my boy."

The fact that William was in foster care when he went missing created problems for police, when they were trying to get the public behind the campaign to find him.

His biological parents were forbidden from campaigning for his return.

His foster parents could only be shown with their faces obscured, and all interviews with them are tightly controlled by the NSW Department of Family and Community Services, who approve the content, and the questions.

The NSW coroner is conducting a formal inquest into William’s disappearance. He has been missing for almost five years. The inquest will move next week to the mid-north coast town of Taree, close to Kendall, where William was staying when he went missing.

I think they are well aware & probably monitoring ( well I hope so anyway ) They have been given enough warnings & the coroner said no more warnings will be given . Karma will catch up with them ;)

Good to hear cause it’s still there. As I said earlier it’s making a mockery of the NPO rule. This someone should know better by now after being at the inquest. No one is above the law although they seem to think they are.

I find it quite unbelievable that Donahoe was not interviewed re William’s disappearance until 2018.
Wonder also if he was another person of interest when the media were asked for any pictures they had of the initial searchers.
 
  • #1,150
Is there any correlation between Jubes/Lambert's bust up in August 2018, and the searching of Donohoe's van/sourcing his laptop, phone or anything to do with William in August 2018?
 
  • #1,151
I'm interested to know if Mr Donohoe had previous stints in jail ie prior to William's disappearance
yes maybe he did...i wondered if he had been sleeping in his car hiding in the bush area since there seems to be a lot of odd stuff..i hope they get some dna of some items

Interestingly, Donohoe was searched not long after the July 2018 forensic search.

Perhaps this was due to items found in the forensic search. Or perhaps from the many tips that were reportedly received at that time.

I wonder how bm is coping with all this; and if/why she hasn't sought legal rep? She left visibly upset the other day, I hope she has some support and hopefully bf manages to get the answers he wants and needs
 
  • #1,155
o my gosh what a freeken d..k....that poor cop..i dont know how they do it
I've seen crims do this on brit tv reality police shows, they just sit there and say no comment to every question, it must be infuriating!

I wonder where spedding sits within it all now. I keep reading he is a former POI. The media have portrayed him as the poster boy in this case. Will be interesting to hear ( if we are privy to it ) what he has to say. Will we get answers to his whereabouts that day ? Was he there where he claimed he was or was he not. Will he explain his deleted phone records , will we get anything ? I truly hope so .

Ok so this Donohoe is either an organised or a disorganised offender. Not sure which.
Perhaps as someone else suggested he puts on his cognitive issues or has a kind of ‘rat cunning.’
I’ve heard it’s quite difficult to clam up in police interviews as most people feel the pressure, and police use tactics to get people to talk.
Ron Iddles for example, discusses his tactics a few times in The Good Cop.
My thoughts is that he chose the victims he did because they were there and he could get away with it.
Shows a bit of opportunism IMO.
Maybe he’s made a jailhouse confession?
