Wonder if she was disappointed that the magistrate had not heard of her, with her "high profile" and all  

[catsnknots]

Yep.. news here too... 

But why should it be a headline?? 

She was low range... I never drink and drive.. not even one drink...  but this is not that newsworthy.. 

[*mrgrizz*]

this is old news

it was done when she got caught

 low range high range.. drink driving is drink driving. people are killed by drink drivers.. it matters little what devotees do, they aren't part of 'the team' ..this person is.

Did you see that interview with mr rabbit yesterday, when he was asked what he'd do about it? He shrugged and brushed off the question! He's obviously happy to have such people in his team, but that doesn't surprise me. Ditto for Mal Brough and other shonks in his ranks, It's fitting to the thug image of the Rabbit LNP tea party.

It is understood Credlin will apply for a section 17 - which would allow her to avoid a conviction and keep her licence - as it is the first time she has been charged with a criminal offence in her 21-years of driving

I don't think there should be any exceptions for drink driving penalties even if you are only slightly over the limit... or special privelges because of who you are.

Try telling a judge you should get off because you were only a small fraction over the limit...see what he/she has to say to that.
