A troubled life ended in 21 seconds when NSW Police were confronted by a Sydney manAs commuters flooded towards Central Station, an agitated man stood inside the station's empty florist with a pair of scissors clenched in each hand.

There is no happy ending for anyone who holds a broken glass to an innocent persons throat then runs at police with two pair of scissors. I’m sorry but there is no happy ending to this. No winners here ... Glad the servicemen were uninjured

Cairns man charged after leaving loaded gun unattendedA nine-year-old Queensland boy has shot his six-year-old sister after the gun he was playing with accidentally discharged. So he didn't have a licence for a handgun (he was charged with unlawful possession) but one ended up in his possession anyway? How can that be? How didn't our 'world standard' laws stop this from happening? I'm starting to think criminals will just disobey laws if they want.
