Today's news: bowser bonk

February 9th 2010 07:13
The trial continues of an Australian man who was having sexual intercourse with a woman in a vehicle at a petrol station and who refused to stop having sexual intercourse despite police arriving and requesting him to do so.

The court was told that police indicated from outside the locked vehicle that they wanted the couple to cease having sex. Exactly how the police indicated their requirements was not made clear in media reports of the court case.

The police arrived at the petrol station, the court in Darwin was told today, because the petrol station attendant could see the pair "kissing passionately", and because he could hear loud moaning, and because the woman was "moving in ways that gave the impression the pair was having sexual intercourse''.


It is known that the accused, named as Lionel Mark William Spratt, was asleep for at least some of these events. Spratt's Legal Aid lawyer, Matthew Hubber, told the court that the vehicle, owned by Spratt, was being driven by the woman because Spratt had "been on drugs all day at Litchfield National Park" and was asleep. When the woman had pulled into the petrol station, the lawyer said, she had exited the driver's side, climbed into the passenger's side, and climbed onto the lap of Spratt.

The act of sex had then commenced.

The prosecutor in the case, Scott Tierney, told the court that the police, when they arrived, asked the couple to stop having sex. The couple, however, had not complied, and police had been unable to arrest Spratt, due to the vehicle being locked, until the sex had ended, 27 minutes later.

The case has been adjourned until tomorrow when the Chief Magistrate, Jenny Blokland, will pass sentence.

Rachael Finch

It was all glamour and glitter at the Sydney Hilton last night as a host of beautiful young women paraded before the Miss Universe Australia judges, and a host of less beautiful, less young people asked the perennial question — are beauty pageants outdated?

Last year's winner, Laura Dundovic, doesn't think so. As evidence, she pointed to the stellar career of the 2004 winner, Jennifer Hawkins, who went on the win the Miss Universe World title and then scored a lucrative contract promoting the Myer retail chain.

It is not entirely clear how this addresses beauty pageant concerns, and begs questions as to the legitimacy of the efforts of lesser achievers.

This year's Australian winner and bigger stage hopeful is Rachael Finch, a 20-year-old model, TV presenter and Australian Heart Foundation ambasador from Townsville.

She won despite, on being asked what she considered the greatest challenges facing the national government, answering "a variety of things". Upon further reflection, she settled on "healthy living".

"Defining recession" may have been a better stab, but Finch was unfazed by being human and less than perfect. "I just did the best I could," she said after the ceremony.

She won more than A$25,000 in prizes, and now heads to the Bahamas in August for the Miss Universe World finals.
