Anyone know what happened in Jerra last night?

Make more sense to shift the border. Expand ACT out to include Qbyn, Bungendore and up to Murrumbateman, if not Yass. Then Canberra would be truly in heart of the catchment, and all such nonsensical cross-over issues would be things of the past…

“Tell him he’s dreaming…”

ACT Police rarely follow the speed limit. Even school zones, they ignore them often. Not saying all of them ignore the limits, just in my experience.

Queanbeyan is basically a suburb of Canberra. In my experience, the border won’t stop crews from the other side assisting if closer. Must say though, lot of NSW patients go to Canberra Hospital from the South Coast and Snowy region. Are we getting funding from NSW to cover the costs of treating non-NSW residents or is it like at the Hall School were we covered their tab.

Seems to make sense to combine resources when the bad guys don’t give a crap about the border.

As for the Qbyn issue, (and this is second hand info – so correct me if wrong) most Qbyn Police are sworn as AFP Special Constables, and many ACT are sworn as NSW Special Constables. This makes sense with the border so close. I am told that Qbyn dont responded to Gunghalin but on rare occasions go to Oakes estate, due to the proximity of Oaks to Qbyn.

I know its not conclusive. I shall try to find something more substantial

Aside from the three not-so-hilarious and very predictable attempts at humour above…

Tagline-worthy!

I understand (correct me if I am wrong) but the Queanbeyan police are all special constables of the ACT.

Not all I don’t think but most are.

Followed a NSW police car up Fairburn avenue once. He didn’t seem to care for Canberra speed limits

Since when have you seen any Police care for speed limits anywhere?

I understand (correct me if I am wrong) but the Queanbeyan police are all special constables of the ACT.

Really? Can anyone confirm that?

ari, if only you knew mate, if only you knew. You’d eat your words.

You’d be suprised how many times NSW have to go into the ACT for enquiries, deliver subpoenas, and generally do their day to day work.

And yes, a lot of patients are taken to the Canberra Hospital from all over… it’s not uncommon to have a Cooma ambulance come up.

You do get AFP cars in Queanbeyan a bit too.

“Why? Jerrabomberra is NSW not ACT. The AFP have nothing to do with it.”

I stand corrected. Though someone should tell the NSW police that, every second day, I see NSW police cars traveling around Woden. NSW ambulances in the ACT I can understand, they transport people to CH all the time. NSW Police driving on the main roads and sometimes in the burbs, parked at Woden and Manuka on our side of the border?

I saw a few cop cars around a crash when driving last night along Tompsitt Drive.

Yeah that was it, I was listening to the scanner at the time that it happened 🙂

Yeah, I know…

el … you’d better stop using such obscure words, it confuses people like CanberraResident

if it was anything, we’ll probably see a media release next week on the AFP website.

To expand, the police had a report of persons trapped serious accident… but it wasn’t that bad when they got there.

It was just an accident on Tompsitt Drive, no one severely injured.

Ok, enough humour.
if it was anything, we’ll probably see a media release next week on the AFP website. There getting quite good at making media releases on even relatively minor things these days, they’re being a lot more open.

Well that was rather self aggrandising.

Aside from the three not-so-hilarious and very predictable attempts at humour above, I’d be interested to know what happened in Jerra too. After all, this is RiotACT remember … Canberra News, Information and Opinion. Yeah?

Noooooooooooooooooo! Save the Krispy Kremes!

A donut truck overturned?

nothing was happening unless you count the fact that they had found out where the free beer was!
