Parking officer 'distressed' at dead man's fine

Parking officer 'distressed' at dead man's fine
By Selma Milovanovic and Jane HolroydOctober 21, 2005 - 1:13PM

A Melbourne council has explained how one of its parking officers issued a fine to a man who had been dead in his parked car for several days. Maroondah City Council parking officers stuck the fine on the windscreen of the man's car on Wednesday at the Croydon Market shopping centre in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that police discovered the deceased man, 71, yesterday and found a parking ticket on the windscreen of his car. He had been reported missing to police nine days ago and was known to be seriously ill. Maroondah mayor Paul Denham said in a statement today that the parking officer had not noticed the man when he attached the parking fine to the windscreen. Councillor Denham said the man's death was tragic, and extended his sympathy to the dead man's family on behalf of Maroondah Council.

"Our local laws officer undertook a routine check of the car park at around 10.30am (and) returned in the afternoon to check the vehicles that had overstayed their allotted time,'' Cr Denham said. "The parking bays are 90-degree with cars parked nose in. A small garden bed is located immediately at the front of the parking bays. "Our local laws officer checked and wrote out the ticket at the rear of the vehicle and placed the ticket from the passenger side on the windscreen.
"The local laws officer did not notice anything unusual regarding the vehicle, and is extremely distressed to have learned of the situation.''

The man's friend, known only as Marie, told 3AW today she was disgusted by the parking officers' behaviour. "From what the police had told me, it would have been very obvious he was deceased so I'm really disgusted." An autopsy will confirm the cause and time of the man's death. Premier Steve Bracks today passed on his condolences to the man's family and friends.

"I think the whole community would be concerned at that sort of development,'' Mr Bracks said. "There will be as you would expect a full coronial inquest. The Coroner will investigate what's happened, the Coroner will make recommendations, and if required the recommendations will be adopted by organisations such as councils.''

ASKiss

Ok - thought this should make a reappearance. It took an awful long time to find this amongst the Gmail history - insane how many times KOFM appears in the conversation. Same for Stockton bridge, Sharky, etc.

In any case - cop it.

Auto-Select0r-Kranny-Internet-Session-Speak (ASKISS) below.

If emails/hrs <= 15, ASKISS=run.

Case ASK random select 1.
1 = KOFM is shit
2 = Tools driving on Stockton bridge
3 = Work start times
4 = Spamming Ces0r
5 = Sharky
6 = Underage poontang
7 = Coffee Dare
8 = San Andreas
9 = KK Donuts
10 = Bali drugl0rs

end case ASKiss.

Farking Weather

For all those who feel the need to bitch about the insane heat and humidity currently brewing - a subtle reminder of the insanity copped by Brett in his recent move down to Melbourne. Work relocation from Mackay (averaging 34C during winter) to South East Melbourne with the results below. Not only was it the coldest winter on record, but yes, the shite on the ground is in fact snow.

Cop It.

Success!

Video ipods only for chumps!

Let me start of by saying that the new video ipod is a piece of shit. Don't get me wrong, the regular ipods i like....and i even own a 3rd Gen brick....BUT....the video ipod is a tad premature.

I can dig the idea of toting my downloaded pr0n and ripped DVD's around in a handy-dandy little package...but when i get where i'm going I want to be able to watch it in all its glory, not re-sampled down to the resolution of a postage stamp. I demand an HD video ipod!. Until that day comes, apple are on my list of companies who piss me off on a regular basis, but that i still love dearly (kind of like my mother, and come to think of it, she doesnt have HD video out either!...she's on my list).

that concludes my review of the video ipod....a little sparse on detail perhaps, but i covered everything i wanted to...

Tune in next week for a review of mobile phones and the people who I think should have one shoved into their ringtone.

Kranny - sending all our love down your well...

I feel the need to put a big hello out to our sick brother Kranny, who is sick and away from work today (lucky bastard!) So I have compiled a few of his greatest gmail hits...

starting in reverse order from today...

I'm not sure If I'm getting better or worse. Not running a temperature anymore, but still feel like shite. I don't like Heinekin. Awaiting chilli pics.

I don't understand. Is it just me or is this day just dragging on and on. I swear our aircon is fucked. I'm abs freezing my nuts off. Had hot chips and lasagne for lunch. Feeling rather shite now. Actually I could really do with a pair of 18 year old chicks in g-string bikinis to stare at right about now.

actually, thats just from today and yesterday...i really CBF hunting through all of the random shite we talk about so it will have to do.....get well soon geoff.
