"It's a dummy spit": Ben Fordham slams Police Commissioner

<p>Ben Fordham has slammed the NSW Police Commissioner for pulling the pin on a radio interview at the last minute, with the radio host claiming she was requesting "favourable coverage". </p> <p>Karen Webb was set to appear on the 2GB radio show on Monday morning, after facing several months of public scrutiny due to a series of blunders. </p> <p>“But the commissioner is not coming on our show this morning, (she) called me on Friday to explain this,” Fordham said to his loyal listeners. </p> <p>He said she was not happy about a “cheeky” question he asked Premier Chris Minns earlier in the day, asking whether he had received her “letter of resignation”.</p> <p>“It’s a dummy spit and it’s another example of the commissioner taking things personally instead of looking for the lesson,” he said.</p> <p>Fordham went on to claim that Commissioner Webb had approached media executives to ask for "favourable coverage" before agreeing to be interviewed. </p> <p>“The NSW Police Commissioner has approached media bosses at Nine Radio and NewsCorp. I know this because one of the conversations was about me,” Fordham said.</p> <p>Fordham referred to the death of 95-year-old Clare Nowland, who was allegedly tasered by Senior Constable Kristian White at a Cooma aged care home in May 2023. </p> <p>“When I was asking questions about the lack of transparency over the Taser incident, the commissioner complained to my boss,” Fordham said. </p> <p>“It was clear to me what was going on, Karen Webb wanted me to ease up a bit.”</p> <p>He added, “Morale in the police force is tanking, and the commissioner has gone into hiding.” </p> <p>Pressure on the commissioner has increased since serving police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon was charged with the double murder of Sydney couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in February. </p> <p>Police allege he used a service weapon to kill the couple, prompting concerns over the force’s weapon handling protocols and leadership. </p> <p>Ms Webb was noticeably silent in the days that followed Mr Lamarre-Condon being charged, and when she did finally face the cameras, she was slammed for a series of embarrassing blunders, including referring to the alleged murder as a “crime of passion” and quoting Taylor Swift lyrics when asked if she should resign.</p> <p><em>Image credits: Getty Images </em></p>

Woman claiming to be infected spits on police officer multiple times

<p>A woman has allegedly spat on a police officer while being arrested, after she claimed she could possibly have COVID-19.</p> <p>Just after 5 pm on Friday March 27, Traffic and Highway Patrol officers attempted to stop an Audi in Greenacre, NSW, which subsequently engaged them in a chase, exceeding speeds of 120km/h in a 50km/h zone.</p> <p>The 25-year-old female driver was arrested; however, she refused orders from the police when asked to step out of the vehicle. She then resisted arrest, and repeatedly spat and coughed on the officer.</p> <p>The officer then physically restrained her on the ground.</p> <p>Police revealed that the woman in question was not displaying any symptoms, but as a precaution the officer has undergone COVID-19 testing.</p> <p>She was granted bail by Parramatta Local Court on Saturday 28 March.</p> <p>Attorney General Mark Speakman has condemned the “despicable act” in a statement to 2GB's Ray Hadley on his national radio programme.</p> <p>“While a decision to appeal this bail decision is one for the NSW Police Force and the Officer of the Director of Public Prosecutions, I have ordered a transcript of the bail proceedings which I will review,” said Speakman.</p> <p>Hadley slammed the woman, and argued the decision to grant bail is inappropriate in such a disturbing case. <span>“The only place for her based on her behaviour, until she appears before another court, is a small cell somewhere, hopefully with a spittle mask on so she can’t spit on anyone else!”</span></p> <p><strong><em>Attorney General Mark Speakman’s full statement:</em></strong></p> <p><em>“While I’m anxious not to pre-judge a particular case before the court, spitting at our hardworking and dedicated police and emergency services personnel at any time is a despicable act and a potentially very dangerous assault.</em></p> <p><em>“During the COVID-19 crisis, the risk and danger is particularly heightened.</em></p> <p><em>“While a decision to appeal this bail decision is one for the NSW Police Force and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, I have ordered a transcript of the bail proceedings which I will review.</em></p> <p><em>“Any further comment while this matter remains before the court would be inappropriate.”</em></p>

“Suicide by cop”: Victorian police officer defends hitting disabled pensioner

<p>A Victorian Police officer said that he genuinely felt he was facing a “suicide by cop” scenario when he repeatedly hit a disabled pensioner with a baton and stood on his head during a welfare check.</p> <p>Pensioner John was also pepper sprayed during the ordeal with six police officers and the welfare check was ordered after he failed to return messages from a counsellor and withdrew from opioid medication.</p> <p>Senior Constable John Edney is one of three officers who are fighting assault charges over the September 2017 incident.</p> <p>"I did believe it was a real suicide by cop scenario," he told a contested hearing at Heidelberg Magistrates Court, according to<span> </span><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.9news.com.au/national/victorian-police-officer-defends-hitting-disabled-pensioner-with-baton/a4596c15-6e83-4e8d-86a3-9319dbae5a29" target="_blank">9news</a>.</p> <p>Edney also said that he believed that John was armed and posed a threat to police officers.</p> <p>Video footage played to the court showed John answering a knock from Edney at his front door and said he wanted to be alone.</p> <p>"I don't want to f------ talk," he screams.</p> <p>"Get off my f------ property.</p> <p>"If you get the crowbar, you'll have to shoot me,” John continued.</p> <p>"I've been maced before and nothing happened."</p> <p>Edney said that his fear increased after that interaction and believed that John had weapons inside his house.</p> <p>"Part of the reason of going into his house was to check for weapons," he told prosecutor Diana Manova.</p> <p>"I did believe he was armed."</p> <p>The officers then pulled the pensioner to the ground and restrained him while Edney hit John’s calf with the baton six times and put his foot on his head.</p> <p>Edney said that both moves were justified as he was concerned John may “bite and spit” at police. When asked if he considered those actions appropriate, Edney said “Yes”.</p> <p>Senior Constable Brad McLeod and Senior Constable Florian Hilgart are also charged over the assault.</p>

The secrets of the Spit Bridge to Manly walk

<p><em><strong>Robyn Kennedy loves to explore and photograph Sydney and surrounds. Her blog <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/" target="_blank">Life Out &amp; About</a></span> has become a passion, sharing ideas for outings in and around Sydney - charming gardens, bush walks, art galleries and inspiring places to eat!</strong></em></p> <p>This outing covers a visit to the historic huts at Crater Cove, as well as a coastal walk along a section of the much loved <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/Walking-tracks/Manly-scenic-walkway" target="_blank">Spit Bridge to Manly walk</a></strong></span>. What many hikers don’t realise is there’s much more to this area than the stunning views and secluded beaches. Clinging precariously to the rock ledges of Crater Cove lies a small scattering of historic fisherman’s huts, constructed from locally found materials; beach rocks, driftwood, old timber, corrugated iron and vintage bottles. Their rustic appeal attracts a few adventurous hikers, those who persist in finding the hidden path!</p> <p><strong>Crater Cove – Hidden Path to the Huts</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-Lookout.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove Lookout - Dobroyd Scenic Drive Balgowlah Heights" class="size-full wp-image-1464"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove Lookout 2016 – Dobroyd Scenic Drive, Balgowlah Heights</em></p> <p>The Crater Cove Lookout at Dobroyd Scenic Drive, Balgowlah Heights offers expansive 180 degree views over the harbour. It’s the perfect place to start your walk to Crater Cove and Manly… and it’s all downhill.</p> <p>It had been 9 years since our last visit to the ‘cove settlement’. We were curious to see the state of the old fisherman’s huts, but could we still find the hidden path!</p> <p>It’s obvious the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) don’t want to encourage visitors to the cove. There are no signposts, nor any mention of the huts on their website. Fortunately there are many other sites including Google that provide information on finding the huts (Google Crater Cove and you will see the path marked on the map).</p> <p><strong>Finding the Hidden Path</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-Welcome.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove - Hidden path &amp; cove - Welcome from 2007" class="size-full wp-image-1460"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove – Hidden path &amp; cove – Welcome from 2007</em></p> <p>Very close to the Crater Cove Lookout there’s access to a well established bush track. This is the main track that will lead you down to the harbour foreshore, and on to Manly. Follow this track as it heads north east through the scrub and down a large set of stairs. Not far from the base of the stairs, and just past the track to Beatty Street, you will find the hidden path, branching off the main track to the right.</p> <p>The hidden path is narrow, rough and at times quite muddy. It appears as a tunnel through the trees. Having good hiking boots and a willingness to scramble over rocks is needed for this walk… and it’s worth it!</p> <p><em>Crater Cove Huts &amp; Settlement – 2016</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-Huts-1.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove Huts &amp; Settlement" class="size-full wp-image-1463"/></p> <p><strong>Historic Huts</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-Huts-2.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove 2016 - old fisherman's huts" class="size-full wp-image-1468"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove 2016 – old fisherman’s huts constructed from locally found materials, beach rocks, driftwood, old timber, corrugated iron and bottles</em></p> <p>After 10 minutes on the track you will arrive at the clifftop huts, located at the eastern end of the cove. What an idyllic setting, perched on the cliffs and surrounded by the fabulous Sydney Harbour! You will find a number of stone pathways and bush tracks that lead you to other huts in the settlement.</p> <p>Although the huts appear quite fragile, they are still standing after decades of exposure to the elements… and some abuse by vandals!  Scattered around the huts are old buoys, kettles and other rustic remains, harking back to a time when life was much more simple.</p> <p><strong>NPWS Volunteers</strong></p> <p>Except for a handful of visitors and an NPWS volunteer, we were the only ones there… and a few eastern water dragons as well! Usually a NPWS volunteer maintains the huts and gardens, I believe they have some connection to the history of the settlement.</p> <p>Being such a fragile area it is understandable that the NPWS volunteers are concerned about inconsiderate visitors scrambling over the site. Please don’t enter or climb on the huts, and whatever you do, don’t ask the volunteers if they live there! They really don’t like being asked too many questions, especially this one.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-Huts-5.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove Huts &amp; the eastern water dragon - 2016" class="size-full wp-image-1474"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove Huts &amp; the eastern water dragon – 2016</em></p> <p><strong>A Little History</strong></p> <p>The huts that are still standing today were apparently built between 1923 and 1963 for recreational purposes. Although not originally intended to be permanently occupied, there was a small group of people who called this place home during the 70s and 80s. They were searching for a simpler way of living, and they had found it! Sadly for the residents of the cove, the NPWS felt that national parks were not places for human habitation, they were evicted in 1987. The longest term resident was Simon, and this had been his home for 18 years!</p> <p><strong>Crater Cove to Manly</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-to-Manly-Walk.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove to Manly walk - shady paths &amp; secluded beaches" class="size-full wp-image-1480"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove to Manly walk – shady paths &amp; secluded beaches</em></p> <p>After spending a good 45 minutes at the cove, we headed off to Manly. The main track takes you through coastal scrub and tall gumtree forests. As you wind your way along the shoreline, past tiny sheltered beaches and stunning harbour vistas, it’s easy to appreciate why this is a much loved walk.</p> <p><strong>Reef Beach</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="600" height="221" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.lifeoutandabout.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Crater-Cove-to-Manly-Reef-Beach.jpg?resize=800%2C296&amp;ssl=1" alt="Crater Cove to Manly walk - Reef Beach" class="size-full wp-image-1482"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Crater Cove to Manly walk – Reef Beach</em></p> <p>The first secluded beach you encounter is Reef Beach, which is easily accessed by stairs from the main track.
