Apparently my rego expired while I was away and I was fined $850 on the spot.

Didn't even give you compliance? Stink.

Compliance?

Bro I was 100ms from my house. He literally pulled me over in my driveway.

My rego lapsed the day before. The fine was the total amount of a yearly rego.

I had to pay the fine and renew my rego the next day.

I thought Aussie was less expensive than nz.

Ratshit.

I got compliance on an expired rego like 2 months ago. Just had to pay for the rego within 28 days and the fine was forgiven.

For me the public scrutiny is irrelevant.

Arguably they are trained to deal with this pressure and public scrutiny and have support systems so are potentially less affected than say average Joe who might be more impacted by the process just by his friends and family knowing.

Chris Sandow sentenced after obstructing police​

Zero Tackle

Former NRL halfback Chris Sandow has been sentenced after he pleaded guilty to obstructing police on August 23.

Last playing in the NRL in 2015, Sandow has had several off-field incidents following his retirement, which saw him sentenced to 15 months in jail and suspended for 30 months for an unrelated offence in 2021.

In the latest off-field incident, he pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing a police officer and driving without a licence disqualified by a court order.

This has seen him sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid community services within a year and disqualified him from holding or obtaining a driver's licence for two years, per The Courier-Mail.

It is understood that the incident occurred on August 23 in Bundamba, where Sandown obstructed a police officer in the performance of his duties.

This comes after the Queensland court allegedly revoked his guilty plea in November.

“Don't think that you can just go down to the shop to drive, because most police cars have scanners on them operating the whole time,” Magistrate Jason Schubert said at the hearing via The Courier-Mail.

“Don't come back before the court.”

The 2008 Dally M Rookie of the Year, Sandow played 159 NRL matches for the South Sydney Rabbitohs (2008-11) and Parramatta Eels (2012-15) before making a move overseas to play for the Warrington Wolves (2015-16) in the Super League competition.

Despite his size and stature, he was considered a future superstar halfback early in his career and even agreed to a deal to join the Parramatta Eels for around $1.6 to $2.2 million for four years.

“It was a good outcome today,” Sandow told the publication.

Definitely not for car stuff- Rego/Greenslip etc is about 3-4x what it is in NZ depending on circumstances - I’ve had to drop $1k in the past in Aus- don’t even get me started on driving in the most tolled city in the world

Are the roads full of potholes though, my street got sealed 6 months ago and it looks like it's been shelled now, I've seen better roads at the Donbass front.

Tauranga?

1 toll road for every 40,000 people.

The new conserva

When the case you mentioned for the Green Party MP first came to attention my thoughts were would the rest of us get treated a similar way? Or would we get a harsher penalty?

She also tried to get the conviction revoked using the argument about her work. Even though she didn't meet the requirements. If Mam's punishment was a bit tougher I wouldn't be surprised if it needed to be struck from his record so he could travel to play for the Broncos. Although besides New Zealand he is more likely to travel for end of season holidays.

My thoughts on the Mam case are similar. Imagine if someone else was driving without a license and had the same accident. There is also the impact on the people he hit.

The incidents people have listed here and the fines they received for stuff minor in comparison show there is something wrong. It can't all be down to having a better lawyer and a public profile. But you have to wonder. The law/justice system is supposed to be blind to those sorts of things.

The argument about being in the public profile means they get extra punishment doesn't really seem right either. Public profile can't be used. He may get a bit of criticism but how long will it last. On the flip side when someone is falsely accused it gets more media attention reporting like they are guilty. When it gets proven

The new Qld conservative gov are to review sentencing laws after this censored weak sentence handed to Mr E Mam.

Livung in Melbourne it was almost impossible to follow their parking rules. I never saw. The hero who pinged me but one really wet morning zi dropped off. The kids to school. The roads were gridlocked so it was nearly opposite the school so it was safe to let the kids out. I got fined for parking in a no parking area.

Some lawyers believe there will be an appeal over the lenient sentence for Mam.
One commentator said he would’ve been fined more for a careless tackle lol.
Will be interesting what punishment the NRL are going to give him, some are calling for the entire season.

If he had a licence and wasn’t drugged up and it was a moment of carelessness the sentence is still light.
JAC was sacked from his club with no victims.
NRL has an opportunity here.
At least a season ban and he can be paid the minimum wage contract.

Furthermore he should be made to work for the family he injured.
Take the injured to rehab.
Mow the lawns.
Walk the dog.
Wash the car.
And so on.
Go to schools and preach the old “don’t do drugs” line.

Sydney so they claim, based on the area of roads within g the city that you have to pay to use- something like 130km.
I know most times I drive can hear my bloody reader beeping that I’m ticking up another toll

Yeah I laughed when I first moved to Sydney I was inner west and if you were lucky enough to find a park in say Newtown it took about 20mins to read the sign to see if it was ok to Park there was like;
No parking M-W 10am-2pm
and 4pm-6pm
Th-F 9am-11am and 1:30pm-4pm
S 12pm-3pm
Su 8am-10am
Then a different set of rules for permit holders etc
Some of those hours were 2 hour parking, sometimes it was 15min parking under other conditions it was something else
Almost needed a degree to decipher
Here’s an example

Now this is going to test the NRL.
One of the parents of those poor children killed from the same Sydney family has come out asking to ban Mam for 5 years.
5 years is over the top with all due respect but this is only gaining traction with the press so the NRL will have to face this pretty quickly.

Hope the anger turns on the judiciary as much as the NRL.

Parking means to stop your vehicle. Turn off the motor. Get out. And I believe then move a certain distance away before it is legally defined as parking for purposes of applying fines.

Stopping is a different definition too.
