Google says this guy defrauded a terminally ill man for $300,000... Good luck with that
They could throw him in to solitary for 6 months.😂👍
96% of those testing positive in US prisons are symptom-free. Wait, what?
I would hazard a guess that Prisons would be Far better managed than aged care.
stiff shit
This report doesn't state the nature of his crime therefore rendering it pointless.
As someone who regularly makes deliveries inside Victorian prisons, I can say the authorities are taking maximum precautions to ensure the virus doesn’t enter the prison system.
Should of thought about consequences when you knowingly committed crime
Probably like victims of crime.

Coronavirus restrictions to ease but not all retailers will be throwing open the doors - ABC NewsAn easing of coronavirus restrictions means non-essential shopping has the green light from this weekend, but that doesn't mean all the stores are ready to throw open their doors immediately. A bit short on sweets. If that particular store opens, I'm likely to feel less isolated!

'ABC forgets' documentary which ‘absolutely skewers the renewable energy industry’ | Sky News AustraliaA new documentary produced by the “far green left” has in fact put the argument forward “that renewable energy is not clean, not green and not practical,” according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nEnvironmental documentary film, ‘The Planet of the Humans,' absolutely “skewers the renewable energy industry,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“The film goes on to attack major corporations for their pretense, their virtue-signalling on renewable energy”. \n\nMr Kenny said the stance taken in the documentary is “kinda strange” given the executive producer is Michael Moore, who is a “millionaire, leftist, academy award winning director”. \n\nMr Kenny said, “why isn't the ABC talking about this, showing this, debating this?”\n\n“They usually love Mike Moore's films; they usually love to promote the political films of the green left”. \n\n“This one goes too far for them of course, it attacks renewables and it attacks climate alarmists that they regard as secular saints, like Al Gore”. \n\nHe said the new film, “seems to present too many inconvenient truths” for even the ABC to report on.\n And he's 100% correct. Renewable energy is a scam for investment bankers, billionaires and the fossil fuel industry. Ffs how is Kenny (yet again) linking something to the ABC? This time a foreign doco. What a right boor What does ‘the far green left’ actually mean? I presume we need a ‘far brown right’ to balance them up, who are they?
