Ned Kelly

EMERGENCY services around WA are on high alert as Cyclone Isobel and a large cold front look set to combine to lash large swathes of the state early on Thursday.They had a very strong cold front go through last night producing rain through Perth, that’s then going to mix in with the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Isobel and in effect give the atmosphere a bit of a turbo charge and really fire it up during the course of tonight and tomorrow morning.
For the first time since Ned Kelly, New South Wales police are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted for murder.They have placed a $50,000 bounty on Dubbo man Malcolm John Naden, who is suspected of strangling a woman at his home in June 2005. Normally rewards are only offered if information leads to a conviction, but police have taken this unusual step because Mr Naden has proved so elusive, despite various sightings, including one at Dubbo Zoo. Detective Superintendent Geoff Beresford says that is due to the suspect's bush skills and because he is getting help. *start sarcasm/ I wonder if I phone them and say hes in Australia still, would I be entitled to any of the reward. And hey hes part Aborigional I wonder if they have checked the pubs. And hey put a big sign out " free glue here" one never knows./end sarcasm*
I've been busy on nightshift this week which is turning me into a grouch.
