1. Police officer said woman’s breast cancer: “Not their problem.”

A woman has been fined for incorrectly wearing a seatbelt after she attached a bulldog clip to stop the pain from the belt where she had a breast cancer related operation.

Lin Riley, 68, had been pulled over on Oxford Street in Sydney for a random breath test and presented her licence to the police officer.

The officer noticed her seatbelt was harnessed with a bulldog clip and asked Ms Riley why.

She told The Daily Telegraph she had various treatments on her left breast for breast cancer, which resulted in a mastectomy.

“The belt made it very uncomfortable to drive, so when I didn’t have a passenger or I couldn’t catch public transport, I put a bulldog clip where the seatbelt comes out of the roller,” she said.

“It just lifts the belt away from my chest just a small amount so it doesn’t go tight across my left side and cause me pain.”

The officer noticed her seatbelt was harnessed with a bulldog clip and asked Ms Riley why. Via IStock.

When the officer noticed the clip he said to Ms Riley ‘That’s not my problem,’” she said.

“I told him and showed him that I still had the belt on, and the officer just said that my issues weren’t his problem.

“He asked me to pull over to the side of the road, and another officer walked over to my car and asked why I was still there. I explained to the him about my breast cancer and my seatbelt, and that officer didn’t care either.”

“The officer walked away with my licence, and kept me waiting for 35 minutes,” she said.

“Then when he returned with the ticket, he said, ‘I’ve done you a favour, and the ticket will only be for $360.’

Ms Riley’s oncologist later gave her a certificate saying he had never heard of such an attitude from police.

News Limited reports that Ms Riley had broken the law as she didn’t have a medical certificate with her at the time of infringement.

“It’s just really unfortunate because the officers were so rude and not understanding of my situation. When they said my health problems weren’t their problems ... that really upset me to be frank.’’

News Limited reports police have now ben in touch with Ms Riley and apologised.

3. ‘Wolf Creek’ rapist jailed for nine years.

A man who kidnapped, drugged and raped a German backpacker has been sentenced to nine years jail.

Peter Van de Wetering, 48, pleading guilty to multiple offences, including kidnapping and rape.

The court heard the man picked up the backpacker at a bus stop south of Warwick in August 2013 after she answered an advertisement for a nanny and farmhand position.

Van de Wetering turned up in a hired car wearing a disguise involving a beard, wig and moustache.

He fed the 19-year-old chocolate and had her hands cable-tied Crown prosecutor David Meredith said.

She was taken to a shearing shed where he also bound her legs and raped her, it was heard.

“This offending involved an entirely ruthless pursuit of a young and innocent woman for your sexual gratification,” District Court Judge Terry Martin told rapist Peter Van de Wetering.

“You subjected her to a terrifying and degrading ordeal in an isolated location and you have caused her ongoing psychological damage.”

“I do not think for one moment there is any genuine remorse in this case,” Judge Martin said.

4. Man who took photographs of a young woman's genitals without her consent while she slept "should be imprisoned."

A prosecutor has called a man's actions "deviant behaviour" after he took photographs of a young woman's genitals without her consent while she slept, and has called for him to be imprisoned.

Christopher Kenny, 23,  pleaded guilty to indecent filming and during sentencing submissions before Chief Judge Geoffrey Muecke in the South Australian District Court.

The court heard, while at a New Year's Eve party with a woman he knew in January 2013, Kenny took six photographs of her genitals while she was asleep, with the woman waking to the sound of a phone camera.

The court heard after the crown decided in January not to proceed with a rape charge against him, Kenny posted on Facebook: "I hope that bitch gets what's coming to her" reports the ABC. 

Chief Judge Muecke said the case highlighted the problematic nature of social media.

"People think they can take photos of a young woman's genitals and save it away and then post on Facebook that she's a bitch and she will get what's coming to her," he said.

"Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, to call them social media is the antithesis of what they are, they are anti-social media.

"People converse not between themselves but over the internet without the other person being there, what could be more anti-social than that?

"I'm prepared to accept that your client would not have said to her face, in front of others, what he put on Facebook."

Prosecutor Peter Longson said the offence "clearly called for imprisonment" and rejected claims in a psychologist report that Kenny's actions did not constitute paraphilia.

"This is deviant behaviour, this is not a momentary lapse of good judgement," Mr Longson said.

"In my respectful submission, standardised sexual behaviour of adults doesn't include going around covertly photographing their genitals.

Kenny could face a maximum penalty of two years' jail or a $10,000 fine.

A bid by Democratic Labour Party MP Rachel Carling-Jenkins to change abortion laws and ban late-term terminations in Victoria has failed.  The Bill called on doctors to be prosecuted if they performed abortions on women who were 24 weeks or more pregnant and would have forced hospitals to provide more support to women in “distress”.
