Your report on tv said he has lived here for ten years so why did he need an interpreter. If he can’t speak English how did he get a drivers licence? auspol JoeABCNews

The driver was also muslim. Was this an attempted honor killing or a shia vs sunni attack?

Useless shit throw the book at him.

'He has been refused bail and is to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.' Interesting, the most serious injury was a broken ankle yet he's held in custody!!

Is 'IDIOT' one of the offences?

Apparently only 5 people were in the shop at the time. The other 9 arrived after the accident and have contacted compensation lawyers.

Wonder what charges would have been if it was Dinkum Pies and a Muslim driving?

Better them than us.
