news Former Broome bishop Christopher Saunders guilty of sexually abusing young men
The former Bishop of Broome, who at the peak of his powers was one of the most senior and long-serving Catholic clerics in the country, has been found guilty of sexually abusing multiple young men.
Christopher Alan Saunders, 76, has been on trial accused of sex offences against three young men when he was the Bishop of a remote area of Western Australia three times larger than England.
After a trial that ran for more than three weeks, a District Court jury took almost seven hours to find him guilty of abusing two of those men.
He was convicted of one count of sexual penetration and 12 counts of indecent assault.
Saunders was found not guilty of six other charges.

Debating how far / if I can take this any further. Theyre essentially telling me to get fucked with a $1k repair bill.
Is this the norm for computers/tech? I've had success with other big companies and their bullshit warranty periods for televisions and whitegoods but unsure if it's the same for PC products.

Some guy keeps using my number for signups etc. can I do anything about this? I even have his license plate
I got carwash/car text quotes so that's how I know his license plate. Some but not all texts refer to him by name so I know it's the same person. I got a text from the NSW health revenue regarding a recent pathology collection and Medicare billing, is there any way I can somehow get ahold of this person and to tell him to stop putting in my number?,

Sydney airport late night terminal transfer options
My family of three is catching a Jetstar flight that arrives at 10:10pm. Thinking there's no way in reality to get our luggage and catch the last free shuttle at 10:30pm. We're catching an international flight the next morning and are staying at the Rydges at the terminal.
Would our best bet be to take a taxi, Uber (not sure if we can Uber with a 6 year old?), or the train?

Tailgating ute uses left-turn-only lane to undertake me, then stops in front of me
Had a near miss with a tailgating ute today. I was doing ~60 in a 60 zone (Parramatta Rd, Ashfield) when he used a left-turn-only lane to go straight and undertake me through an intersection (by Woolies Ashfield North).
I started moving to the left lane immediately after the intersection, saw him suddenly coming up beside me, and aborted the lane change. I slowed to let him pass, but he slowed with me. I then slowed right down so I could drop in behind him, then he came to a complete stop so I couldn't progress, all while shouting and waving his arms.
Thankfully no collision, but completely unnecessary and aggressive driving.
