Why don't you tell us then what other negligence and incompetence cases Jan has against her, has she been charged, has she been fined, has she gone to jail for these incidences, if you can't openly tell us all then I suggest you not say anymore about it. Maree CPR The matter below, while not actually the case that is being referred to by many in this thread, is in relation to what everyone is alluding, and tells what those charges were. This is a Supreme court judgement from 1999, in relation to the matter that Jan went to hearing for. Unfortunately, I can't link you to the results of that case, because not all magistrates court decisions get put on the webpage. I have cut and paste a few relevant bits from this decision (which is in relation to giving evidence at the hearing), so it is clear what the charges were and what the hearing was in relation to. So yes, she was charged. Yes, the matter went to hearing. Yes, offences were proved. But I can't tell you exactly what the outcome was, because I can't link to the sentencing. Nor was the Canberra Times digitised then, and Trove hasn't made it that far yet with the digitising of the Canberra Times. However, the sentencing impacted on her ability to prescribe/possess scheduled drugs. http://www.courts.act.gov.au/resources/attachments/Spate_v_Doogan_14_July_1999.pdf "...The applicant ("the defendant") is a person against whom eight informations have been laid in the Magistrates Court by the second respondent ("the informant"). The defendant has been charged with seven offences under the Drugs ofDependence Act 1989 and one offence under the Firearms Act 1996. The informations are fixed for hearing on 9 and 10 August 1999..." "...I was informed that one of the charges under the Drugs ofDependence Act related to the alleged supply of pethidine. This is an indictable offence, but I was told that, on account of the alleged quantity, it may be dealt with summarily. The defendant is a veterinary surgeon..." "...In the present case at least one of the charges is extremely serious from any point of view. All of the charges may have a grave impact on the defendant's ability to practise her profession..." ETA - this is a publicly available document, which is available to anyone who cares to enter the information into the search function on the Supreme court webpage.

There have been more than a few matters that have resulted in sanctions being placed with regard to prescription drugs and surgeries.

So young. A beautiful mark of respect from his working colleagues. There are some lovely photos of Kaiser on the link. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/mass-officers-salute-police-dog-final-trip-article-1.1360666 SEE IT: Massachusetts officers salute police dog on his final trip to the vet Kaiser, a German shepherd with the Plymouth Police Department in Massachusetts, was put down Friday after suffering from kidney failure. Comments (35) Officers gave Kaiser a final salute he made his way to the vet for the last time. Emotional members of the Plymouth Police Department came together on Friday to bid farewell to a special four-legged partner. Kaiser, a 2-year-old German shepherd, was put down following a short but sudden decline in health, and officers gathered at the Court Street Animal Hospital to salute the K-9 and say their goodbyes. On Wednesday, Officer Jamie Lebretton, Kaiser's handler announced on the Plymouth Police Working Dog Foundation Facebook page that the dog had been diagnosed with severe kidney disease. Kaiser, a member of the K-9 program, was laid to rest on Friday in Massachusetts. RELATED: POLICE DOG THROWN FROM SECOND-FLOOR WINDOW "Out of love and respect for Kaiser, and with the input from our excellent vet, trainer, and family, I have made the heart wrenching decision to end Kaiser's suffering," Lebretton wrote. He said that, although Kaiser's time as a police dog was cut short, "he made a huge impact that will never be forgotten. People from all over the country posted their condolences on the Plymouth Police Working Dog Foundation's Facebook page. "I feel privileged to have had a front row seat to witness his bravery and heroic actions while serving the people of Plymouth and my brothers and sisters in blue," Lebretton posted. People from all over the country gave Lebretton their condolences. PLYMOUTH POLICE PHOTO GALLERY Kaiser was donated to the Plymouth Police Department when he was a puppy. "A big salute from Florida for Kaiser. As a GSD (German shepard dog) owner myself I am saddened greatly and so proud of his service and bravery. That was an amazing touching photo of all of the officers saluting him," one supporter wrote on the Facebook page. The pup was buried at Angel View Pet Cemetery in Middleborough. "RIP my boy. I could not have asked for a better partner or friend," Lebretton wrote on Friday afternoon in a moving tribute. "You made me a better person, a better handler, and a better cop. Till we meet again, Kai. I love you and will miss you daily." Kaiser was donated to the force by a local family in 2011. He was five months old at the time.

Some strange rulings in that case. Not that they're particularly reliable anyway, but most sociopaths can "beat" a polygraph test. He is one damaged person. I'd be interested in the follow up to see about the girls involvement and what they decide there.

(ABC Local: Sam Davis - file photo) Map: Cairns 4870 A far north Queensland police dog is being hailed a hero after he found a missing man in a crocodile-infested river north of Cairns. Senior Constable Russell Parker says the man became agitated and got out of a taxi on the Captain Cook Highway before he went into the Barron River on Saturday night. He says police dog Vader found the unconscious man shortly after the search began. "It was a fantastic job and the man was taken to the Cairns Base Hospital for treatment but it was just lucky the dog had located him very, very quickly," he said. "The tide was coming in and the man was located just at the water's edge in an unconscious state so probably a potentially life-saving exercise, I'd suggest."

Not sure this is actually news to most DOLers, but thought I would post it up anyway :laugh: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/devoted-pet-owners-the-big-spenders-20130602-2nkdn.html Devoted pet owners the big spenders DateJune 3, 2013 35 reading now(34) Precious Pooch: Mick the chihuahua has cost his owner $5000 this year after his leg was broken by a bigger dog. Photo: Rohan Thomson Bills hitting $6000 for spinal surgery. Chemotherapy for $5000. Even $2500 for treatment for a snake bite. Despite budget cuts and belt-tightening for many, spending on life-saving treatments for the beloved family pet appeared to be greater than ever, some of Canberra's leading veterinarians have said. Sarah Webb has been a vet for 30 years and a registered specialist in Canberra for two decades. She said there had been a dramatic change in spending in the past 10 years, and it wasn't just city pets that were benefiting. "Definitely people are prepared to spend more than in the past. [Pets] are considered one of the family," she said. "They say they think twice about [spending], but they don't think twice. "I'm even talking about farmers these days who are prepared to spend a lot of money. ''They say 'this dog is worth more than an employee to me', or they simply love the dog, too." Dr Webb is the ACT's only registered small-animal specialist surgeon, and has seen a range of bizarre - and often expensive - animal surgeries. Working from Gungahlin, Dr Webb said she did a couple of spinal surgeries a month - that's a $4500 to $6000 bill - and has had a cat with a ruptured urethra after being bitten by a dog. "It had to have surgery to have a new opening. That came to about $4000 [combined] with its multiple other injuries," she said. But her bill-topping surgery for an individual pet was caused by a single piece of cotton, which was stuck inside a cat for three weeks. "Probably the most unusual one in the past 12 months was for a cat that had swallowed cotton, and it was losing weight and couldn't eat, and we found a bit of cotton in its bottom," she said. "We then found there was this one piece of cotton that went from its mouth to its anus, and it had perforated its intestine. "I think the [bill for the] cat probably came out at close to $9000. It had to be hospitalised and needed a lot of post-operative care, including tube-feeding." It made a full recovery. Animal Emergency Centre senior veterinarian Madeleine Richard said making a quick decision on expensive but life-saving surgeries could be extremely challenging for owners. "Probably the most expensive one for us is surgery for gastric dilatation volvulus - bloat - in large breed dogs, which becomes life-threatening when the stomach twists," she said. "That can be anywhere from $3500 to $4500. That's for the initial work that we do, then there's the aftercare costs. "It's always a judgment call. I had a whole year where everybody opted for euthanasia on financial or prognostic grounds, then I might have done five in the following year." Dr Richard has practiced for 18 years and has spent 5½ years at the after-hours emergency centre. She said vets understood people could not always afford to opt for treatment. "The important thing is to address the patient's welfare,'' she said. ''This may mean euthanasia or it may mean palliative procedures until another option is found." Recently at the Canberra Veterinary Hospital in Lyneham, Mick the chihuahua had his second surgery in a month after a leg fracture following an attack from a bigger dog. Owner Jane Kuffner said the total cost for the eight-year-old's surgeries this year would be about $5000, but it was money well spent. "He's just a beautiful little dog, and we get so much entertainment out of him," she said. "My daughter loves him to pieces, so this [treatment] was no question." With another $2500 spent after an "altercation" with a dog five or six years' ago, Mick's medical bills are 30 times greater than his $250 purchase price. Mrs Kuffner said if Mick was younger she would invest in pet insurance. "If he was a pup, definitely," she said. The hospital's head surgeon, Vickie Saye - who performed Mick's operation - said pet insurance was now more common. "Ten years ago I'd be lucky if I filled in one [insurance form] in six months,'' Dr Saye said. ''Now I do three a week."

An updated story, with a comment from the Australian Pitbull Association and the Police, saying the breed of dog has not yet been identified. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/screaming-for-mercy-man-branded-a-hero-after-rescuing-jogger-attacked-by-dogs-20130527-2n5wg.html 'Screaming for mercy': man branded a hero after rescuing jogger attacked by dogs Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/screaming-for-mercy-man-branded-a-hero-after-rescuing-jogger-attacked-by-dogs-20130527-2n5wg.html#ixzz2URbHoyrd A man remains in a Sydney hospital with serious injuries after he was mauled by three dogs, reportedly pit bulls, in an attack described by one paramedic as among the worst he had ever seen. A decision will be made on Monday about whether the dogs should be put down after they viciously attacked a 49-year-old man as he was jogging down a footpath in Ashcroft about 2pm on Sunday. I come running out to my backyard and just seen these three pit bulls just had this bloke, virtually chewing him to pieces. Chris Thompson, 40, was at his home on Maxwells Avenue, near the intersection with Cartwright Avenue, when he heard a man screaming for help. He and another man raced out to the footpath to find three dogs attacking the jogger, who was bleeding heavily from deep gashes to his arm, armpit and chest. "I heard a bloke screaming out for mercy," Mr Thompson told Sky News. "I come running out to my backyard and just seen these three pit bulls just had this bloke, virtually chewing him to pieces." Mr Thompson grabbed a pot plant and smashed it over one dog's head, while the other man grabbed a pipe and a hammer to try to beat the dogs down. " just grabbed a pot plant and just cracked it overs the dog's head," Mr Thompson said. However he said the dog didn't let go of the jogger. The animals then turned on the second man who was attempting to save the jogger. "[He] went to grab one of the dogs and it's got his hand and pulled him down to the ground," Mr Thompson said. Paramedic John Brotherhood said the jogger had suffered some of the worst injuries he had seen in his 27 years as a paramedic. "It's a very brave act by those two men to help the other fellow," he told Sky News. The jogger was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a serious condition. The second man who tried to help him was also taken to Liverpool Hospital with a hand wound. Police said the second man who was injured in the savage assault was "a hero". "He has come and assisted this bloke, he was being really savagely attacked," a police spokesman said. A passing bus also is believed to have pulled up and passengers got off in a bid to help the jogger. One witness told Channel Nine that he saw one of the victims covered in blood. "The bloke walked down, he was covered in blood on the left arm and the right arm," the unidentified man said. "I don't know what sparked them off but they were just turning on everybody. Anyone coming down, they went for them." A council ranger later arrived at a nearby house and was seen dragging the dogs out to a van. Police said in a statement that they would be "making an application for the dogs to be destroyed". Andrew Richards, from the Australian Pitbull Association, said the dogs resembled an Australian Mastiff or American Bulldog. He called on authorities to conduct a proper investigation into the attack before giving the dogs involved "the chop". Police are yet to formally identify the breeds of the dogs involved.

And in another co-incidence, one of the people involved in this shooting, was themselves shot yesterday. I will have to try and find that story. I saw it on the news last night, but haven't seen it in online media ETA Found it http://www.news.com.au/national-news/nsw-act/gun-crackdown-too-late-for-two-victims/story-fnii5qqu-1226649529339 TWO men were shot in separate incidents in Sydney hours before police announced a national crackdown on gun crime and illegal weapons. As revealed in yesterday's The Daily Telegraph, police launched Operation Unification - an initiative encouraging people to dob in a gun runner - in an attempt to track down illegal firearms and their black-market supply lines. But the appeal came too late for two victims. In the most serious incident yesterday, a man was shot outside a home at Castlereagh, in Sydney's west, just before midnight. It is understood there was a confrontation between the 38-year-old owner of the Rickards Rd home and a group of other men, who arrived unannounced. Police believe the homeowner drew a gun and fired at least three bullets into the back of one of the men, 23-year-old Adel Elkobaili - with a bullet lodging in his spine. He was taken to Westmead Hospital for emergency surgery and remains under police guard. Four registered firearms seized in Leeton after alleged threats were made to a woman outside a block of units on Sycamore Street.. Family's plea - help stop a bullet hitting your family In an unusual twist Mr Elkobaili was involved in one of the state's most infamous shootings. The Chipping Norton resident was one of the men arrested over the death of 66-year-old truck driver Bob Knight, who was killed when a bullet fired during a shootout in a Bankstown KFC carpark hit him in his truck on Milperra Rd, more than 100m away. Mr Knight's family is backing the gun crackdown. Mr Elkobaili, who was 21 at the time of the shooting, was accused of firing a rifle at a group of men but was later acquitted of killing Mr Knight. The other men at the Castlereagh scene were arrested and questioned by police. Several children were inside the home at the time of the shooting. In a separate incident less than three hours earlier, a man was shot in the arm. Police said shots were fired from a car on Boomerang Rd, Edensor Park, about 9pm. Police found a bullet lodged in a nearby house. Later in the evening, a man turned up at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm. Early indications suggest he suffered the injury while travelling in another car on Boomerang Rd in what appears to be a targeted shooting. There have been 96 recorded incidents where guns have been unlawfully discharged in NSW since January 1 - 37 fewer than at this time last year. To date this financial year, police have seized 806 illegal firearms, including 769 handguns. But there are plenty more out there and it was hoped the phone-in scheme would reduce the numbers, NSW State Crime Commander Mark Jenkins said at the operation's launch yesterday. "We don't necessarily need to know who you are, as long as you call us to tell us where to find that illegal gun," he said. "Your phone call could save someone's life."

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/family-of-slain-canberra-truck-driver-support-gun-crackdown-20130523-2k211.html Family of slain Canberra truck driver support gun crackdown Bob Knight's children, Katherine and David Knight. Photo: Ben Rushton The children of slain Canberra truck driver Bob Knight have thrown their support behind a police campaign to track down illegal guns, four years after their father was killed by a stray bullet from a Sydney shootout. A bullet from a shootout between two gangs fatally wounded the 66 year old as he sat in the cabin of his truck on a nearby road at Milperra in Sydney’s south-west in 2009. His son, David Knight, helped launch the nationwide police initiative on Thursday, saying his father’s death wasn’t a case of being in the wrong time at the wrong place. Bob Knight died 3 years ago when a bullet killed him whilst he was driving his truck. “Dad was where he was supposed to be and had been for the past 15 years,” he said. “He didn’t even wear a watch. The guns shouldn’t have been there.” Speaking on Channel Seven’s Sunrise program on Thursday, Mr Knight said Operation Unification should highlight the dangers involved with such firearms. “You don’t need guns,” he said. “That’s what this campaign is about, you don’t need a gun.” Detective Chief Superintendent Mal Lanyon said the operation, involving officers from across the country for the next fortnight, would rely on public support. “We do require information from members of the public,” he said. “We don’t want any other families to go through what they’ve gone through.” Operation Unification, launched in Sydney and Melbourne, commences on Friday and will run until June 7. ACT Policing has also participated in the launch, however Acting Chief Police Officer David Pryce said the use of illegal guns in Canberra was rare. “While ACT has seen a 34 per cent decrease in the number of reported firearm offences in the past five financial years, the use and distribution of illicit firearms is an Australia-wide issue, and one which does not operate within borders,” Commander Pryce said. “We are pleased to be joining with Crime Stoppers to urge members of our community to provide information about people they may know or suspect have illicit firearms in their possession. It is important to remember that information can be given anonymously via Crime Stoppers, and could also result in a reward payment.” Illicit firearms are weapons illegally imported or manufactured in Australia, stolen from registered owners or those which may be used in criminal activities. Anyone who has information about illicit firearms is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and speak with police in confidence Read more: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/family-of-slain-canberra-truck-driver-support-gun-crackdown-20130523-2k211.html#ixzz2UAfO32hM

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/victoria/killer-kelpiecross-rampages-through-gardens-again-20130418-2i230.html Killer kelpie-cross rampages through gardens again Date April 18, 2013 (1) Read later Steve Butcher Mishka the possum killer. Mishka the kelpie-cross possum killer has struck again in Melbourne's historical inner-city Carlton Gardens. A Melbourne court today heard the then-registered owner of the black-and-tan dog was penalised $2000 in 2010 for an attack that killed a possum. It was revealed in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday that Mishka savaged another possum in the same gardens last July in the shadows of the Royal Exhibition Building. The court was told the registered owner of Mishka in the latest attack was James Keath whose brother was fined in 2010. Advertisement Prosecutor Trevor Wallwork said in a summary that an animal management officer was on patrol about 4.45pm on July 12 when she saw a dog running at "full speed" and off-leash in the gardens where dogs had to be leashed at all times. Mr Wallwork, for the City of Melbourne, said the dog headed east and then west and began to jump and bark at a tree before it ran north at high speed to stop at another tree. He said the officer then saw the dog had a possum in its mouth and shook it about twice. The dog dropped the possum after a passerby helped the officer, but bit it again and was then restrained. Mr Wallwork said the injured animal tried to climb a tree but fell to the ground and then a juvenile possum was found in the same tree. The officer was approached by a man who admitted he had let Mishka off her lead "because it won't go to the toilet when it's on lead". Mr Wallwork said a veterinarian later found the possum was dead and that the cause of death was "probably the fear, shock, trauma and pain" of the attack. The baby possum was found to be unharmed and in good health and was placed in the care of wildlife helpers. Mishka was examined at a dogs' home and found to be mircochipped and wearing a tagged collar with a mobile phone number. When James Keath attended the home, he paid a $42 release fee and registration renewal of $57 and recorded on the release form: " ... taken to corner store off lead ... then absconded". Mr Wallwork said when James Keath's housemate was interviewed, he said he took Mishka and his dog Rembrandt for a walk and left her tied to a parking metre while he entered a convenience store. He said when he returned he found Rembrandt had chewed through Mishka's lead and that she was gone. In court today, James Keath told Mr Lethbridge he did not want legal advice and pleaded guilty to charges of owning a non-dangerous dog that attacked or bit an animal. He also pleaded guilty to owning a dog that was at large. Keath said that immediately after the incident he prohibited anyone again walking Mishka. Keath, a contractor, said he understood how serious the charges were – the combined maximum fine for both charges is $7000 – but submitted he was not in control of Mishka at that time. He asked Mr Lethbridge to take into account that he was recently married and his wife was pregnant with their first child. Mr Lethbridge took into account that Mishka was not classed a dangerous dog, that Keath was prosecuted because he was the owner of her and that significantly at the time of the offence he was not in charge of her. He found Keath's moral and legal culpability was at a relatively low level. Keath was put on a good behaviour bond for 12 months and was ordered to pay costs of $900. Charges against the housemate have been adjourned. Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/killer-kelpiecross-rampages-through-gardens-again-20130418-2i230.html#ixzz2TVnqNovT

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/missing-puppy-found-more-than-1000km-from-home-20130508-2j6mr.html Missing puppy found more than 1000km from home A Canberra family have been reunited with their missing puppy after a social media campaign located the hound more than 1000km away from their Isabella Plains home. Five-month-old Thor had been missing for more than a week before turning up at an Ipswich animal centre, owner Heath Morrison said. “We were working in the garage at home and had the roller door up,” he said of the April 21 disappearance. From Isabella Plains in the ACT to Ipswich in Queensland, Thor went on quite an adventure. “The angle grinder scared him off, so he went out in the street where someone picked him up… They basically drove back to Queensland with him.” Advertisement Mr Morrison said they were particularly concerned about their Staffordshire bull terrier pup, which needs regular acupuncture treatment for nerve damage to his rear legs. The family launched a social media campaign to find Thor, posting messages and photos on Facebook. “We thought we’d do what we could to get him back,” he said. “We posted a lost poster on Facebook, it went to 8000 people sharing it.” The family’s hard work paid off when a friend of the person who initially took Thor noticed the post online, and got in touch with the Morrisons last week. While it was only a small clue, Mr Morrison said the tip put the family on the path to finding their pup. “About 30 seconds later, we were on the phone to the RSPCA,” he said. Numerous phone calls eventually led the family to the Ipswich Animal Management and Rehoming Centre, where Thor had been staying. Mr Morrison said although tracking their puppy down took little more than luck, transporting him home proved far more costly. “My free dog turned into a $1500 dog,” he said. “But price was irrelevant.” Mr Morrison said Thor has been at home for four days, during which time he’s received undivided attention from his sons, 11-year-old Blake and nine-year-old Brenton.

This, times a billion. The son (apparently ) made no effort to help someone in trouble, He shouldnt be complaining about others not helping either. Getting down 15 floors takes time. I don't see anywhere in the article where it says the son never tried to help? I understand the son being upset. His Dad was mauled by a pack of dogs and then, no doubt, he had to deal with a pack of journalists. I am terrified of most bull breeds, so I don't think I could help even if I wanted to. However, I would call the ploice and get into my car and try to drive up to them and scare them off. Poor man. In other articles I read the dogs were on leash but got away? Yes, probably 3 minutes if you're doing it really slow down the stairs. The attack apparently went on for 10-15 minutes. I feel sorry for the dad, nobody should have to suffer that.
-
Poor man - that should never happen. I'm in two minds about the people recording though. If you watch the video in the link, you can hear them asking people to try and get a weapon to help, and that they were trying to get the man to get into their car. If you're not a dog person, that would be a very frightening thing to try and intervene in. Donning my flame suit here, but the comment by the son about being disappointed nobody helped him is a bit hypocritical I feel. He says he could hear all the screaming from his 15th floor apartment, and then later found out it was his father. He heard all the screaming, but he didn't do anything to find out who was screaming or why? He found out later that it was his dad. To me that reads that he wasn't prepared to do anything either, but now that it has personally affected him, he is disappointed others acted the same way he did. Particularly if you are listening to the noise for 10-15 mins, as was described.
