Neville Wran's Daughter Charged With Murder

[icyfroth]

The youngest daughter of the late NSW premier Neville Wran is one of three people allegedly involved in a double stabbing that left one man dead at a notorious inner-Sydney housing commission unit block.

Wran, the goddaughter of Kerry Packer, is studying modern history, her Facebook page says.

It is not yet clear what motivated the stabbings, but it was likely the attackers knew the victims and the violence might have escalated from an argument, police said at the time.

How sad. That's a long way down for a young person born into a such privileged family.

It's thought to have been over drugs.

Other friends of Mr McNulty expressed their shock and sadness following his death.

"Your sharp wit, world observations, humour and brilliant dance moves will be missed my friend. Rest in Peace," one friend wrote on Facebook.

Another said that Mr McNulty was a musician who performed in a band with him in the early 1990s.

"Daniel was a funny, talented and gifted musician who had an on going battle with addiction," the friend wrote.

"He, like so many others hated what he had become but couldn't get away from it, being on a treadmill of hand to mouth subsistence living, trying to keep off drugs in his environment was impossible."

He said the Daniel he knew was a "funny, driven, sensitive man who didn't deserve to die in a violence, fighting for his life in his own home".

"Rest in Peace Dear Daniel. You are finally free," he said.

I wonder if Daniel owned a car???..... If he did i will wager he didn't drive it far

..... I wonder how many cars Harriet owned??

but I guess if you are a million heiress $70 bucks is an absolute fortune

He was a drug dealer. In my books anyone that sucks another human being into addiction for the sake of some extra dollars is a low-life.

Thank you for your (very valid) opinion, colics. At least you've addressed the body of the post and not the title.

In my books you are in many cases describing big Pharmas wares

I see an addict who fed his addiction with casual drug supply.

..... it's time to take the money out of illicit drugs.....

and replace it with regulated supply, support and education so that Addiction the brain disease can be

studied,addressed and beaten.

Addiction exerts a long and powerful influence on the brain that manifests in three distinct ways: craving for the object of addiction, loss of control over its use, and continuing involvement with it despite adverse consequences.

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2013/07/what_is_dopamine_love_lust_sex_addi...

In a brain that people love to describe as “awash with chemicals,” one chemical always seems to stand out.

Dopamine: the molecule behind all our most sinful behaviors and secret cravings. Dopamine is love. Dopamine is lust.

Dopamine is adultery. Dopamine is motivation. Dopamine is attention. Dopamine is feminism.

Dopamine is addiction.

When you think of the sheer number of connections required simply for you to read and understand this sentence—from eyes to brain, to processing, to understanding, to movement as your fingers scroll down the page—you begin to feel a sense of awe.

Our brain does all this, even while it makes us think about pepperoni pizza and what that text your crush sent really means. Complexity makes the brain the fascinating and mind-boggling thing that it is.

So dopamine has to do with addiction, whether to cupcakes or cocaine.

It has to do with lust and love. It has to do with milk. It has to do with movement, motivation, attention, psychosis.

Dopamine plays a role in all of these.

But it is none of them, and we shouldn’t want it to be.

Its complexity is what makes it great. It shows us what, with a single molecule, the brain can do.

Strangely enough, I didn't really know much about dopamine before reading the above, then I came across a mention of it on a link about Parkinson's which I have placed on the Robin Williams thread.

I guess she was just picking up her ironing and he fell on the knife that she used to cut the buttons of her shirt.

I agree dealers are low life. The ones who don't use and are driven purely by the money are the scum of society.

Sometimes though a person can be getting their own and get a bit extra because a friend has asked them to get them some.

Money passes hands and maybe a little is kept for the risk/trouble. Does that make that person a dealer too.

I am anti drugs by the way, however after giving up cigarettes I have gained a little insight into the struggles of giving up an addiction.

Whatever the problem murder is not acceptable, no matter who your daddy is.

You can take feminism out of your list.

it's a bit sad this young womans life is in tatters and all we can do is quibble about the news headline.

Apparently Harriet had been  living on the streets for weeks. When she was arrested she had no ID, no money, nothing. How did she come to that?

Hubs made an interesting observation: "at least she saw to it there was one less drug dealer on the streets of Sydney".

Harriet Wran's life is in tatters because she made a choice to do what she is doing with her life.

Addictions aside .............just like the guy who was allegedly murdered.

It is my opinion that the headlines in the media (and here) are despicable. It makes no difference who her dad is............

As far as I am aware, he is only responsible for being her dad.

Colic's - I feel you are kind of off on a tangent about the drug dealer/addict............

did it slip by you that Harriet...millionairess with no matter how many cars..........was also an addict? and that this may also have led to the tragic events and most definitely attributed to the way her mind was functioning at the time, also that she did not act alone.

I an not making light of the  murder in any way shape or form, but there is always so much more to these crimes especially when drug's are involved.

It is tragic all round IMO and a  sensless waste of life/lives.

if that is so do you not also think that the remark below may have set the angles for that tangent??

"Hubs made an interesting observation: "at least she saw to it there was one less drug dealer on the streets of Sydney".

I don't doubt that Harriets addiction is any less insatiable than Daniels was.

 and I also do not doubt that if the drug was available legally that Daniel would probably not be dead and both he and

Harriet may have been able to seek the help they needed rather lining organized crimes pockets on a  merry go round

ride that will never ever ever end very well until society leaves 1930's prohibition ideas where they belong

..... in the past...
