'...Bail refused for two on terror charges
Two Victorian men charged with being members of a terrorist organisation accused of plotting a jihad or holy war in Australia have been refused bail.
Melbourne magistrate Reg Marron refused bail for Hany Taha, 31, of Hadfield, and Abdulla Merhi, 20, of Fawkner.
They were the only two of nine men arrested in Melbourne's anti-terror raids on Tuesday to apply for bail.
In refusing bail for the pair, Mr Marron said evidence of the group's discussions of its intentions to carry out a jihad in Australia...'

Hmmmm... interesting ... where are they now ... Regi ( and John Stone ? ) as magistrates ... Starchefski chopping bolts at Frog:P ... Parsons hobbling around with a walking stick, after enduring a dozen+ surgeries, after decking out while ice climbing ... and Kim ... bless 'im ... making that luuuvvvly mango-icecream:-))

"Why don't you just write the routes down , where they go and the grade? Why does everything in
Australian climbing have to entail cheap shot and shitty comments. Take a good look at some French or
European climbing guides , Route name , Length , Grade. Bueatiful!!Not shit just climbing."

Glad ta see a Kim interview is on the radar again ... hexy has hinted many times ... I wanna know what Kim thinks of the 'new' generation as represented by ... ah-hem ... Nathan ...

I'm sure no one has tried to abseil the Nose head first yet... or have they?
