The Canberra Times reports that Cube’s owner, Morris Rao was hospitalised after the fight on Saturday morning, but he was not the victims of the stabbing, rather he has been charged with it (well, he’s been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm).

Three others (“A 19-year-old from Sydney, a 19-year-old Dickson man and an 18-year-old from Braddon”) have been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Also can one of our CT readers please let Tamara Glumac know that Cube is on Petrie Plaza, not Garema Place? Thanks.

I would have thought absynth was more like this.

Absent Diane3:01 pm 21 Jul 06

don’t be too concerned if you lose track of my thought process…. basically there is none..

Fake tits? Well, it was a Cube drag night.

Absent Diane12:57 pm 21 Jul 06

Absinthe, Diane?

the department enjoys steak occasionally…so long as it well done and pepper sauced.

Do you like steak, Diane?

well If I was diane I wouldn’t be absent but because I am not diane I am absent. If you care to refer to my full name of Absent Diane of the Imminent Present… it infers that one day in the future maybe I will be diane but at the present moment I am not… but because the present is always imminent and therefore in the future and never actually present… well I am lost but the whole scenario is unlikely.

Anyway my comment was tongue in cheek.. and i know and appreciate that maybe I should be a little more sensitive towards the issue… but I have very little connection to the issue…and therefore my detachment allows me to be a little tongue in cheek….

bib check time

mob family? what is this scarface? Clearly you really are absent!
I hope that the victim doesn’t die and the police do there job well.

so what is it.. happy family or mob family???

Absent Diane11:50 am 21 Jul 06

so when you say family… maybe you actually mean Family

And its accessory after the fact.

Yes I know he got charged.

Well, one of the staff has been charged with being an accessory for hiding the knife.

No you are VERY wrong! It has everything to do with the staff! They are one big family!

Aside from the manager

It’s nothing to do with the staff of Cube

I think people are forgetting the fact that there is someone’s life at stake here. Not only the victim but the staff at Cube aswell. It doesn’t matter where they got stabbed the fact is that this person could quite possibly die!

Simple – a homophobic attack will sell more papers than a simple stabbing, but since the paper doesn’t have any solid evidence that it was sexual preference-related, they’ll have to settle for pointing out that it’s a gay nightclub and allowing our imaginations to fill in the blanks.

“Pillers haven” might get a run if you could use it to imply that a stabbing was drug-related…

and why’s it so important its a “gay club” on Garema Place (sic ?)
i mean, if someone gets stabbed outside mooseheads, is it going to be “a stabbing outside an adfa losers club”
or “a stabbing outside a trendywankers club” (academy)
or “a stabbing outside a pillers haven” (red gecko ?)
