"Two women have been charged over the attack and police are still searching for a man.

It's thought his attackers, a man and a woman, first asked Mr Carlino, who had just withdrawn hundreds of dollars from an ATM, if he needed help getting home.

CCTV footage shows them approaching their frail victim from behind before the man punches him to the ground.

The pair then rummage through his pockets and take cash before walking away, leaving Mr Carlino struggling to get to his feet."

I hope that poor misguided young fellow gets a jolly good counselling session when they catch up with him  :D

That may be all he gets, which I guess is what you are hinting at.

But nothing new here, either in this time or this place.

250 years ago, in England, they would not have deported the perp's to the 'colonies'.  [.....that was reserved for people who stole a loaf of bread!]

250 years ago, in England, they would have hung the convicted perp's, until dead.

Saw the Vid.  Bring back the noose for that lowlife.

Mongrels.......imagine how much more prevalent this will be when the no dole law gets passed.

Is the government making the streets unsafe on pension day for the old and feeble?

Time to hide your valuables and put the bars on the windows.

Yes, I will make this political.

Got the male grub.

Evidently has just been arrested.

Cut his freaking hands off. (After finding him guilty, of course.)

What was this Italian fellow doing withdrawing hundreds of dollars in cash?

I haven't handled money in years.

What was that that former Australian Grand Mufti Sheikh Hilaly said about 'exposed cat meat' - and why are any young Muslims in jail when it wasn't really their fault?

Wrong again. But then, we've come to expect nothing less.

The unemployed are not criminals, for a start, despite what you may believe.

And the dole is not a 'ransom', it's a pittance and an insult.

Both your statements are offensive and incorrect.

It was your comrade Pansi that made the inference that holding back the dole will result in more pensioners being beat up and robbed Kat old bean.

Paying them the dole so they don't offend is indeed a ransom.

Whilst the obvious not paying some puts them in a position whereby crime is either a realistic option or not much other choice available to eat....

Now that is criminal as well. Of course, defending that and claiming payments are "ransom" is mind bogglingly inane and bordering on insane, strike that, well beyond insane.

Course it will be more prevalent.  I agree. Politicians forget why their predecessors put in place what they did.

Unfortunately,  with rise of mass immigration, maybe the dole isn't enough.

We have to pay the unemployed social benefits so they don't get desperate enough to beat up old people for their wallets.

Doesn't seem to be working too well, does it mi'lady?

The Police Superintendent overseeing the case said that the assailant could face up to twenty five years gaol for what he did to the Pensioner.

Now the offender has been caught it would be too much to hope for that some brave Judge to can him for 15 or so years.

Have been watching Judge John Deed a British show, would love to see a Deed sitting on the Australian bench..now that would have the wow factor in sentencing.

Actually you're not far off the point, Swag - one of the primary reasons for social security is that it cuts back on crime and so forth.

You well know that the 'cost of crime to the community' is countless billions a year - would it be better to simply pay the bastards off?

These scumbags aren't stealing to eat they are stealing for drugs, I'm all for handing out free drugs to scum like this, that way they will have no need to go around robbing people plus we can give them the really good uncut sh!t and with a bit of luck they'll OD.

Yes - I rather like Deed - he gets to the nub of the matter.... and excellent acting. That man knows how to play an emotion well - I would suggest he is a natural 'method' actor.

You may disagree, Red, that his approach is very 'European' in the Napoleonic style of law... he digs into the issue as a judge would in most European countries, something that is at odds with our adversary system with all of its flaws.

Eulogy: Johnny wasn't a mountain climber, or a free jumper, car racer, not even a free diver, but just as many of the aficionados of these pastimes have died doing what they loved, so did Johnny die doing what he loved, Heroin. This is something few people accomplish.
