My wife got attacked in the car park at Marion a few weeks ago by some looney bitch, accused her of stealing her kids before lunging at her neck, drawing blood & leaving a crook old gash. Witnessed by my youngest daughter who’s only 10 - we’re still dealing with the fall out there. Same woman attacked an off duty copper moments later. Police took her away, they told my wife she’d only just got out on bail. Hopefully a member of the magistrate’s family suffer the same trauma caused by this woman, they might then think twice before letting them back on the street.
Sorry to hear that mate.
Is it really the magistrates fault however, there simply isnt enough space in the prisons at the moment is there. Much bigger issue at play. Understand your frustration though and hope the fall out is overcome.
My wife, son and his girlfriend all work at Marion and whilst there is the occasional thing happen the security are really good and get onto top of anything quickly. None of them have ever felt unsafe and they occasionally work early or late.

Bloody hell. I was having a bit of a chuckle at this thread till this came along. Hope they're both recovering mentally as well.

Anyone smarter than me (confident that’s most) know what the total cost has been up til now and what benefit has been derived?
We spent about $1.8bn building it and when it's running flat out it's about $150m a year to run. Not sure what lay by rate is but you'd think it would be in the $40-60m range.

Yeah I knew it was more a case of saving it for a rainy day ( ), just wondered what the cost would be by now, which no doubt is astronomical. As with all insurance policies though, you hope not to have to use them but can feel assured by the protection you have in place in case of emergency.
there's a bloke that feeds the pelicans in Kingscote and does a talk each day at around 4pm - it's techincally free but you're politely expected to tip him for providing his wealth of knowledge. You'd have to pay in excess of $40 to do a similar proper tour.. That being said, im not sure if he's resumed normal programming since COVID
Birds of Prey show is also good value
Oh - and the American River Seafood place, fresh as fresh can be - and you can do an oyster tour
Only reason I'd go to KI would be for the marron but you can also get them at Margaret River which is a much prettier area. Find a place with fresh marron otherwise find the boat back to the mainland.
