Poke! South Bank "safer" now; Female soldier alleges sex assault (10th Oct 2011)

South Bank behaviour improves [Brisbane Times]

Looks like the company behind the South Bank Parklands and the vicinity has come out a report saying after the floods on January, troublemakers has dropped by two-thirds. But I don't really think it's related to the floods anyway, seeing there are still many people walk along the riverside and the parks. But at night, it's a totally different story.

The improved behaviour could be largely attributed to the long period of time that South Bank's popular pool areas were closed after the January floods, the corporation's report says.

I live near South Bank, and as I observed around the area for over a year, I noticed it's true that during nighttime and especially Fridays, there are more crazy people loitering around, especially at the train and busway station, where people sort of yell very loudly and they are somehow ruder as well. But overall, I think it's still a little bit better than the Valley, right?

Department of Defence now investigating alleged sex assault to female soldier [Courier Mail]

Earlier, I heard the news about they are going to reopen registrations for female soldiers to deploy in Afghanistan, and now here comes the allegations where a female soldiers were being sexually assaulted during her duties in Afghanistan. At this moment, we just know they have confirmed investigations are underway, however, no further details are provided.

The probe comes after a Skype sex scandal earlier this year when a female cadet at the Australian Defence Force Academy was allegedly filmed having sex with a male cadet while the footage was beamed live to other cadets.

Inner beast? I'm not disagreeing about not allowing females to work in military duties in the Middle East, but apparently the blokes back there are having such bad times, making things a bit out of order, I presume.
