Another cold and windy day around the Punks.. Cloudy. Very high chance of showers in the south, medium chance elsewhere. Snow falling above 800 metres. Damaging winds possible in the south. Winds southwesterly 25 to 35 km/h decreasing to 15 to 25 km/h in the late afternoon then becoming west to southwesterly and light in the late evening. Daytime maximum temperatures between 4 and 12.

Unless he has access to a car, he's on foot, keeping off the roads, and the old rail track, too, it's always full of walkers ( it's a terrific walk, also a bike track Wang to Bright ) keeping away from farms and plantations.... in his old wet tracksuit pants and no hat or gloves.... uncomfy springs to mind.,...

If he is part of the 'apocalypse' group (the article I linked doesn't say he is, but it quotes a local someone who is and has similar thinking), he may well have a bunker with supplies.

imo

“Commissioner Bush said the search area is very wide, and it is possible that Dezi Freemanhas access to technology.

He would not reveal whether Mr Freeman's phone had been picked up by any local mobile phone towers.”

It's going to be a big test of folks principles, then, isn't it.... if they believe hard enough to back Dez and get in his corner with him, standing tall with Dez, or bend to the will of the community and lead the police to Dez..... 20 years for aiding and abetting a cop killer, AND maintaining one's principles..... big fat choice there.

Suspected Porepunkah gunman Dezi Freeman had no convictions for violence or firearm offences, court record shows

The 56-year-old made a series of threats against police and had a long history of minor offences, culminating in the loss of his driver’s licence in 2022

www.theguardian.com

Dez's pathetic run of really piddly traffic offences, stretching back 30 years show a pattern that really needs to be taken into account in criminal psychology, the correlation between men ( not so much women ) being genetically unable to adhere to road rules, of all sorts...licence stuff, car stuff, road stuff.. it's all grist to their mad mill, it all MUST be flouted, ,some deep emotional need is satisfied by being pulled up and pulled over for silly preventable stuff....


'''''
''''''''''He said they had always lived in the Alpine shire, and the family’s only source of income was a Centrelink payment.

Freeman referred to “seven years of harassment and persecution by malicious police”, despite the court extract showing that over this period he only faced one charge, and had it withdrawn, and also succeeded in having a speeding fine withdrawn.

Freeman said in his submissions he had his “firearms licenses cancelled and lost my club membership” as a result of the driving matter, also claiming “we endured 4 acts of criminal trespass and harassment on our home by police and I have been dragged through 4 years of court hearings”.

He said he had to pay more than $2,300 to have his wife’s van returned after it was “stolen” by police, a likely reference to the vehicle being impounded.

Freeman, whose bid for the supreme court review of his driving convictions failed, wrote towards the end of his submissions: “I hope I didn’t get too off track or be abrasive but I’m just doing the best that I can under extreme duress with what sanity I have left.”

He had been granted permission to drive while his appeal was outstanding, and the court records show he was convicted and fined in December 2023 for driving at 71km/h in a 60km/h zone in June that year.

He was fined $450 with $90 costs. The magistrate in the case was Peter Dunn, who Freeman previously attempted to arrest.

( it didn't seem to cross Dez's tiny mind that there was another way around it.. adhere to the rules of the road, simples.... )

 

[Trooper]

Not only was Dez NOT persecuted , he was given a special leeway being granted permission to drive while his appeal was underway.....not everyone gets that benign treatment. He is just a professional moaner, and a perpetual victim.. As well as a murderer.. And a liar. And a bludger.

'''Freeman said in his submissions he had his “firearms licenses cancelled and lost my club membership” as a result of the driving matter, ''''

( I don't know how one maintains a club membership to a shooting club on Centrelink.. plus purchase the firearms....)

I wonder how Dezi had the means to make a shotgun? I wonder if he would need a mechanical engineer’s help? Neighbours can be handy like that.

It's actually ridiculously simple to make one.

According to an old friend who has known him for decades, Mr Freeman struggled to hold down a job, and has been on a disability pension since the early 2000s.

So this anti government, anti everything loser has been happy to collect his centerlink money for decades. Oh the irony..........

What's his bloody disability?? Why has he not been made to get a job??

It's a joke.

apparently , he has a 'bad back'... an injury he acquired due to his wrestling with police.. managed to have a couple of kids, though... so it ( the back ) must work in some manner, at least.


I am surprised that his moves to Porepunkah didn't attract some attention from Centrelink... you need to live near jobs, but that said, there are jobs at the winery, at the hop plantations, at various resorts, and there are lots of church camps in the area, lots of rec camps for schoolkids, too

I wonder when it all began in his head. You would think that there was probably some disagreement or confrontation with the police way back in the past. But was it in any way reasonable? Or did he just object right from the start to the police trying to control his speeding, shooting and any other antisocial behaviour? Or was he just indoctrinated by family/friends when young? Anybody know?

His first introduction to the long arm of the law was in Sydney, when he was 21... seeing how ridiculous he is now it's not hard to imagine how utterly ridiculous he would have been at 21.. of course he may have had a nodding relationship with authority before then but that's off limits.. I would not be surprised if he was a most annoying and idiotic teenager around Glen Waverly back in the day.....

He was fined in Sydney but dont know what the fines were for.. might have been driving offences, but it could have been civic disobedience stuff of a peculiar nature...

His record , apparently, does not show any sexual deviance record, which means he was possibly lucky, or cunning, or too scary to dob in back then.. , but someone has, now.

“The curtailing of my right to travel extends directly to my family and manifests itself as a form of child abuse by the State in so many ways.

“Whatever happens to me affects my family. The stress, hardships, injustice, misery and poverty exacerbated by not being able to drive affects us all.”

Seems you know all about child abuse Desmond Filby .............allegedly.

Loser thru & thru. A "man" who apparently can't even financially support his family ( I wonder how he met Marli? ) or hold down a job..........what a catch!

IMO

I remember reading that and thinking , he got the trouble and strife to cart the deer carcasse back to base.... she would have to do all the heavy lifting ... what a life as a pionering woman in Porepunkah can bring.... the horror of it!!!

You have to feel for that kid who complained and reported Dez... I hope he /she has been sent off to Tokyo and guarded by the Yakuza ( Tokyo's tuff boys ) until Dez is found,,,, Dez would have to hunt him/ or her down.

Good thing we (Australian taxpayers) are all contributing to support him and his family financially while he suffers such a disability, just part of being a member of civilised society and doing your bit as an Australian citizen right. Oh… wait a minute
