In May 2020, an analysis of Hill’s phone data found that between 9.26am and 9.50am on 21 March 2020 the device appeared to be travelling between Dargo and Mount Hotham, according to a statement tendered to the court. On 14 July 2020, Florence and another detective from the missing persons squad, Detective Senior Constable Abbey Justin, arrived at Lynn’s Caroline Springs home.

What Lynn said during this conversation, and the contents of his statement, are the subject of a suppression order. All the while, police listened to Lynn’s conversations, including with himself. Eventually, there would be more than 5,000 recordings made from the surveillance devices. At no point in the 16-page statement of Florence that was released to the media is there any mention of how or why Lynn is alleged to have killed Hill and Clay.But a picture emerged from other evidence provided to the Melbourne magistrates court during Lynn’s committal hearing about scenarios considered by police.

‘Very good day for Ukraine’ as Germany and the US send tanksThe Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says it is a “very good day for Ukraine” as Germany and the US have confirmed they will provide new tanks to the nation. Should end well. Really BiDeN should be in jail, not starting wars Maybe good, but the variety of different types of equipment that they are now fielding must soon start putting strain on maintaince and supply. If the logistics break down they will be in a great deal more trouble than they are now. A good day for those wanting more war. Nobody wants peace so the innocent keep getting killed. Corruption under Putin. Corruption under TenPercentsky. It makes no difference to the average person.

Russia fire missiles and drone attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructureRussia has fired at least 55 missiles and sent two Iranian-made drones to attack Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. It is believed Russia's attacks are a response to the United States and Germany's pledges to send their tanks to Ukraine. And that car is the victim ? I get it. Sheepdog news for sheep. Why does the media only seem to report on Russian missile attacks, but are completely silent whenever Ukraine hits civilian targets in Donbas like they've done for the past 8 years?

‘No symbolism is ever sufficient’ for those who oppose date of Aus DayThe Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says “no symbolism is ever sufficient” for people who oppose the date of Australia Day. “Because they regard the type of society we are as inherently evil and wicked,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “We could have a Voice, a Treaty, a truth-telling commission and everything else tomorrow – that wouldn’t be enough. “It’s never enough.” This is where Australia went wrong letting another flag fly next to the Australian National Flag He's not wrong, nothing will ever be enough for these ideologues.
