    Not a young man & looking suddenly very senile !

    & if he has any sense at all he will stay that way

    ;)

    Or he could run the 'Popeye' Mayoral gambit & go suddenly inpatient !

    Take your pick:

    You're being ageist by saying that he's less capable because he looks old.

    The legal system requires that it is proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he behaved inappropriately.

    The NSW DPP has lots of form for mounting sexual cases based on hearsay evidence that doesn't stand up to reasonable examination. It's no coincidence that this prosecution has been assembled after a state Labor govt was elected. Jones humiliated Wran, Carr and Keneally and Labor doesn't forget.

    It doesn't matter that the DPP have 24 people who've been coached to make a complaint, what matters is the corroborating evidence. I will be amazed if there is any.

    I can add that I served on a charity board with Jones and I really, really disliked him. I also never saw him behave badly to anyone on a personal level.

    FOS they don't go after people like this without evidence particularly if there was little chance of nailing him

    Of course after DECADES of trying to get this grub through several changes of govt suddenly it's the LAB govt bring vengeful :p

    FFS grow up and stop espousing your deep rooted bias and just acknowledge Jones is the grub he's always been

    Men,

    Serious question here, talk me out of it. :D

    2015 Lexus IS 300H

    Automatic, 4 cylinder Hybrid?

    145,000 kms on the clock for $15K

    Are they good cars? Price seems a little cheap when I look them, but boot needs paint from doggy scratches

    Car drives amazingly well. I loved it actually, car is a little small for me, but will be for the Wife and kids for a year or so.

    If the hybrid system is anything like the one in my Ct200H with 160,000 kms on it then yes, well worth $15k

    Lexus has great build quality but they are BORING cars as JCY says

    The radar cruise control was fixed by then as in the early models it had some quirks that could get you in big trouble on the open highway

    I find mine slow from a standstill but fine in open traffic

    I don't find them as frugal with dinosaur fuel as my old 5 series BMW but then do get 100 km from 5.5 litres on average

    Cheers JM! Good news!

    I just came across this, all sounds good.

    Lexus IS reviews | ProductReview.com.au

    Nicole loves it in the pics I have sent her. I fit ok behind the steering wheel, barely fit in the back. These kids of mine are as tall as you are JM, so they will outgrow the back in a few years or less, so it's not a forever car.

    And this car bloody flies, pretty quick for a little 4 cylinder and not a rattle/squeak/knock anywhere

    Even on our **** roads out here.

    I might have to buy and then I will re-sell or trade it on a new Prado in 2026 or 2027 when they iron out the bugs of the new model they just released last week lol

    That or step into a brand new 300 series Sahara ZX, we will see what happens.

    Jones may or may not be guilty, but I’ll wait for the proper processes to take place.
    This reminds me of the George Pell debacle.

    In the meantime, this pile on by the usual bunch of overly emotional lefties is not only distasteful, but hilariously hypocritical.

    40 years ago he would have just slung some money in the right direction (particularly with Murphy as his brief) and it would have all gone away. Different times now, no matter what happens, he will be convicted in the court of public opinion.

    Ostrich, you'd be all over him if he was a leftie ............. smells a lot like the #metoo episode, and there is a lot of the right wing media (obviously NOT Sky, watched by Gulible gussies) putting their 2c worth in

    Chris Murphy ?

    Are you kidding ?

    That "civil rights" tosser Jones made fun of decades ago and is now hypocritically using to bail him out ??

    Murphy will use the dingo defence or any other piece of BS that delays the case until this bastard is dead like Saville, then the right can gloss over it like they always do with their paedophile heroes ..... what a disgrace

    I had a bit to do with Chris in the 80's and didn't like him at all (oddly, my wife thought he was wonderful). However, despite all his dodgy dealings and friends, if I were in criminal strife I would have had him defend me in a heartbeat. Don't know how good he is now at 75 though

    He was out of the game for a long time until he lost anywhere from $100 million to $400 million when Opas Prime went under in 08.

    Anyhoo getting back onto topic,the dick whom owns this has had it for sale for $210k yet now he acctually WANTS to sell it with an estimate of $120K-$140K.
    WTF he didn't advertise it at a more competetive price in the first place.
