Well, not really, but I hope the charges possibly laid against him are substantive ones and not just related to being an idiot. (It’s difficult to tell whether he has in fact been charged and if so, with what offence or offences as Victorian law prevents the names of the “two teenagers” being released, though his arrest was apparently not subject to any reporting restrictions).
There are actually some serious issues here.
First, while I’m all for individual responsibility, I don’t see why the Victorian Police have a right to bill anyone for doing their job and still less to charge one individual for property damage he can’t solely have been responsible for. By all means proceed against individuals against whom concrete facts can be alleged, but some sort of exemplary punishment seems ludicrously contrary to any notions of due process, and for that matter, the presumption of innocence. David Hicks was someone a lot of people might have thought reasonably to have been acting foolishly, and though the scope of the miscarriage of justice in the Hicks case far exceeded in seriousness what’s going on here, as far as I’m aware, there are idiots who are 66 as well as 16, and lacking judgement or being a dropkick is not a crime in and of itself.
Secondly, it’s not all the fault of the intertubes. I remember parties getting out of control when I was a teenager in the 80s, and uninvited yobs turning up, and kids doing dumb things like smashing garden gnomes and urinating on cars. No doubt it’s very unpleasant for all concerned, and shouldn’t be condoned, but surprise, surprise, stuff happened before text messages and Myspace existed.
Thirdly, the coverage of all this by the media is beyond belief. There’s a complete timeline up to midday today in Crikey, for those who want to review it. Particularly if there are laws preventing publicity for underage offenders, it seems to me that news organisations had no duty to assist Corey Delaney in making a fool of himself, and given his age, a positive duty to refrain from doing so.
Corey’s irresponsibility is mirrored by that of the media and the absurd nanny-statist Laura Norder-ism that state governments are so prone to.
Isn’t a party getting out of hand the theme of at least 25% of all 80’s teen flicks?
Yep!
According to tonight’s TV news one of the charges is distributing child pron.
That’s on the web too, but it’s impossible to know who’s been charged with that. Given that the assumption will no doubt be made that it was Corey Delaney, this seems all the more reason why the media should never have allowed him his fifteen minutes of fame, and the simultaneous lynching.
Geez the media is pathetic … how can this non-story still be getting coverage.
Jump on a minor story and go feral on it – a pack mentality forms and each media outlet just keeps reporting on it. Chasing a immature 16yo around with camera’s and interviews – what sought of ethical standards do the media have – none apparently.
The media pack going feral seems to be a common occurence – last week it was the cricket controversy – nonstop leading story for a week!
Maybe they can bust him for wearing that hat and those glasses.
Particularly if there are laws preventing publicity for underage offenders, it seems to me that news organisations had no duty to assist Corey Delaney in making a fool of himself, and given his age, a positive duty to refrain from doing so.
Yep, there are laws in Victoria – the Children, Youth & Families Act of 2005 prevents under-agers involved with the law from being identified by media outlets.
This law was enforced (in 2005 or 2006, if memory serves), and several media outlets were fined tens of thousands of dollars for ignoring the requests of the Melbourne Children’s Court to refrain from publishing on a legal matter.
I loved this response from a radio listener:
“Caller Morrie says he wants to blame John Howard for the whole thing, and the reason children have no discipline now is that they are brought up in childcare centre because it is necessary for their mothers to work”
Fantastic. So now we know why. I wouldnt quesiton any further and leave it at that.
But, if I had to consider it further I would say, Mark you are right, the media is quite to blame. Corey shows all the beautifully clueless amorality of a kid who is thrust into the limelight and is encouraged and rewarded, yes rewarded for his amorality. (He has been offered all sorts of jobs, flights you name it) His performances fit directly into the teenage stereotype of the spoilt aimless youth with a lack of conscience. We love those stories. Without this unabashed refusal to be ashamed, there would be absolutely no story. Its feeding our well worn tropes of deviant youth. God we’re boring.
The Victorian Police should review their procedures, and the Victorian government need to review the entire police/public order thing.
Victorian police: What a bunch of sissies, letting a mob of kids put it over them.
Victorian police: What a bunch of sissies, unable to prevent a mob of kids from damaging neighbors property and smashing up police cars.
Victorian government: Should be hanging their heads in shame for allowing this to happen on their watch.
Thank god I am a Queenslander!
There’s plenty to be said about young Corey, and plenty to say about the interview ACA did with him on Monday night. It was a joke and he treated it as such. If I’d been spoken to like an idiot the way he was, I’d be just as dismissive of the “questions” put to him.
I don’t have a TV and don’t know the kid. But he seems a typical enough avatar for the collective testament to today’s all pervasive pride in bad manners and pseudo tough-guy bullshit as fed by cheap speed and 50 cent albums. Over the last couple of years Melbourne Saturday nights have turned into Lord of the Flies. I actually expect to witness extreme violence.

PS Corey Delany is a little shit. I don’t advocate public flogging. But if it happened to him I don’t think I could muster too enthusiasm for protest.
Please do not mention the teenager previously known as C.D. because someone in Victoria, reading, might gather who he was. Police have capsicum, zucchini and cauliflower spray if you need a little help in understanding.
Victoria, still garden state to the nation.
Casey #8 – I have some sympathy with too much work to be a parent argument but from my observations it just seems that people are opting out of being parents. They bribe their kids to behave, message act like a shit and you’ll get a reward. Casey’s just following the plan.
The Money Quote: CD “The neighbors got nothin to complain about, they was warned that a party’d be on here!”
The kid is an immature 16 year old. When I was an immature 17/18 year old in Sydney I went to quite a few parties in inner Sydney that got way out of control and most of the people who went to them were way older than me. You disn’t need text messages or Myspace. You just went5 down to the Royal George or the United States or the Criterioon and told people there was a party on.
Re the child porn – what’s the bet its 15/16 year olds taking nude or semi-nude photos of each other, and maybe even posting it one the net. It seems the logical conclusion.
If they locked people up for being idiots the whole country would have been in gaol at one time or another.Even JWH or Kevin Rudd.
I liked the bit where he held up firmly for to his right to wear those shades.
They are “famous”…
That makes sense, Paul. It suggests they were struggling to find something to charge him or the other person with.
The SMH editor who referred to Corey as ‘famous’ rather than ‘infamous’ is more of a problem than Corey or celebrity shonk Max Markson, who was quoted as saying he plans to represent him. I don’t think Corey needs Markson, with journalists already practically playing pimp/promoter for him!
“Casey #8 – I have some sympathy with too much work to be a parent argument but from my observations it just seems that people are opting out of being parents. They bribe their kids to behave, message act like a shit and you’ll get a reward. Casey’s just following the plan.”
Well actually it was the ‘blame John Howard bit’ I found a bit funny….but Im sure you mean that Corey is following the plan, cause Casey sure as hell is beyond it, sigh. What would it be like to be Corey? all young and pain in the arse cool, all dressed up in crappy sunnies and fur trimmed snow jacket in the height of summer with no where to go verve, all 15 minutes of trash tv fame and noteriety….God I feel sorry for Corey. Pretty soon he will be putting out a song with lyrics that go something like this:
I’m Mrs. Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. “Oh My God! That Britney’s Shameless!”
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. “Extra! Extra! This Just In!”
You want a piece of me?
I’m Mrs. “She’s Too Big, Now She’s Too Thin”
You want a piece of me?
A bit OT, but is child porn really child porn when subject, sender and recipient are all peers?
Mark,
Indeed. Apart from engaging in a mass litterring project near his home, and bothering the cops with 500 probably outrageous yoof of both genders too drunk to get the message they should go home at 2am in the morning or something, he has actually seriously embarrased the Victorian constabulary over several days. What’s the bet the first thing the cops said to him when they sat him down inm the interview room was, “Boy, it’s payback time!” And I’ll bet they weren’t talking about the fortune he cost his parents.
How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Corey after all he has been through.!
He lost his home, he went through hell. He had two fuckin parents.
His friends turned out to be a users, wankers, and now he’s facing kiddie pron charges. All you people care about is….. readers and making money off of him.
HE’S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you don’t realize is that Corey is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.
He hasn’t performed on this kind of stage before. His sthick is called “give me more� for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.
LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky HE even put on a party for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE COREY ALONE!…..Please.
The papers talked about responsibility and said if Corey was a responsible he would’ve pulled it off no matter what.
Speaking of responsibility, when is it responsible to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.
Leave Corey Alone Please…. !
Leave Corey Delaney alone!…right now!….I mean it.!
Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!
The person in question is a minor. If he had engaged in unlawful acts and appeared in Court his identity would be protected. And that’s the correct course of action.
The MSM have exploited this ‘minor’ in all senses of the terms and should feel the full force of the law.
But they won’t.
I hope the media can be charged (THR #7) for making a mountain out of mole hill. Why, oh, why, do they insist on making famous someone who will relish it.
I hope his parents make him responsible for the costs (if they end up wearing any). I’m sure that the only way this particular young person (or any other) will think before they act is to feel it in the hip pocket.
It was the least I could do. Victoria already has Bruce Ruxton.
And New South Wales has Alan Jones.

No wonder they are a laughing stock.
While I also question the newsworthiness of this topic, I think it’s important to note that early news reports that identified the teenager would have been published before allegations of criminal behavior were made. It’s possible the media began to cut out his name as they became away of the fact (The Age article mentions they can’t identify him). Although I think the cat was more than halfway out of the bag on this one.
$20k and child porn charges appear to be a case of the police inappropriately reacting the widespread coverage. He’s a kid that needs a to be given a bit of a whack with the clue stick, not be screwed over for life.
[$20k and child porn charges appear to be a case of the police inappropriately reacting the widespread coverage. He’s a kid that needs a to be given a bit of a whack with the clue stick, not be screwed over for life.]
Yep, and being put on the sex offenders register for basically taking nudie pics of his mates. That’s a one way ticket to long term unemployment.
#25, God. Oh boy, do I have news for you!
Victoria does not “already” have Bruce Ruxton. He has been a Queenslander for several years.
The VIC cops are no doubt glad to be in distraction mode.
They made right pork chops of themselves at the Tennis, maceing pretty low level crowd enthusiasm, which affected the players as well.
In VIC, the number of coppers they wheel out to testify how “appropriate” the force used was is generally an excellent measure of the extremity of the cock-up.
I counted four this time. Thats a big-un.
I think part of it is summer boredom and a slow news cycle, part is nostalgia for days of wild parties and part is people loving to get angry over nothing much.
Jesus wept!
And they say that I don’t have a sense of humour.
Oh my God, God! – from your gravatar, it appears you are a white male lawyer. Can’t you look a little more, well, er, compelling

There’s a bit of Shane Paxton about this thing. I saw the ACA video over at Hoyden, and I have to say that his response to being treated like an idiot by some clueless hack keen to display her moral worth was to respond in kind. Good on him.
If the ‘child porn’ is nothing more than drunken adolescents photographing each other, it’s unlikely to go anywhere. More serious stuff than that gets dropped all the time.
Possibly the arrest was a bit of a stunt. Given the time delay between the party and the arrest, there doesn’t seem to have been much immediacy to it.
I’ve got no sympathy for the stupid little prick.
When I was 16 I had left school with a full time job and was giving almost all my money to my parents to support the family.
Sure I got into trouble with the cops but I fought or talked my own way out (or in) to it.
Pity they still didn’t take dickheads like him down to the station and make him bend down with hsi head down under the desk then kick him in the arse. Or hand him the phone book and belt him in the guts.
Give me a good look at the parents – the fruit never falls far from the tree – I’ll bet they are self centred and self justifying.
FXH’s comment = hammer + nail, *square hit*
I must confess I found the whole episode pretty hilarious.
Steve at pub – thanks
Something for you:

I’m with skeptic on this one. ACA sneering and mocking a kid, who turns it around and mocks it straight back.
All this pathetic jumped up two bit cheap jack wowser judgement. What about the other five hundred kids who happen to be the people who caused and fought the affray? And whose kids were they? Who is fighting righteously to bring them into the light?
Next stop – which school doe he go to? If it was a government school, I reckon we’d know by now.
Tiley – as you might guess I have a hundred different takes on this. On this blog my inner RWDB emerges.
What I find appalling about the child porn charges is that the ‘Kings of Werribee’ didn’t get charged with anything like that, even though their DVD distribution of a planned and filmed sexual assault fits the bill.
This is a stupid stunt by third rate coppers.
That’s right, I think, Paul. He wasn’t out there saying “I’m sorry, guv’nor”. And because they’ve contributed to the media maelstrom themselves, the coppers have to try to hang him on some trumped up crud.
I saw the tennis thing on SBS just before – pretty outrageous stuff.
Victoria badly needs its own version of a Fitzgerald Inquiry, it seems to me. Take them down a notch or two.
Victoria badly needs its own version of a Fitzgerald Inquiry, it seems to me. Take them down a notch or two.
There have been persistent problems with the police in Vic for many years, and inquiries and Ombudsman’s investigations don’t seem to have stamped them out. You could run a whole other thread on the multitude of shameful stories out there that relate to Vic police.

I really thought Christine Nixon was better than this.
[What I find appalling about the child porn charges is that the ‘Kings of Werribee’ didn’t get charged with anything like that, even though their DVD distribution of a planned and filmed sexual assault fits the bill.]
There was the case a few years back where students of an exclusive private girls school, produced a poronographic DVD involving oral S*x and were selling it to the boys of an all boys school.
The Story made the front page of The West, but alas, the Schools involved closed ranks and no charges were ever laid.
You said it, Mark – Ive smelt this all before.
The coppers here are bone lazy, you never see them on patrol, every time a court goes near them another senior official is up on corruption charges, or dobbing someone ex-mate, there’s strange witness disappearances linked to police info, the Police union reckon it runs the department, they act like any criticism is some wild invitation to anarchism yada yada.
They want a good full powers Royal Commission up em, alright.
The special VIC angle is the preemptory shootings (and now maceings. Amazingly, it never occurs to them to shoot some mad bloke in the leg.
[The Story made the front page of The West, but alas, the Schools involved closed ranks and no charges were ever laid.]
And strangely there is no reference to it on the net either.
Dose Ms Keeler, or other Perthites remember the details ?
Not to mention the Four Corners show on that Mullett character and the police union. Isn’t he charged with something now?
It’s all very reminiscent of Joh era Qld – coppers busting kids on rubbish charges, going nuts with excessive force, acting like they own the show, a police union which wants to be a political player, rumours and whiffs of corruption only occasionally surfacing and all sorts of deliberately ineffectual “complaints commissions” and so on.
The only difference appears to be that under Joh, the government loved all this and was in it up to its armpits, whereas in Vic what I assume we have is a cowed and pliant Labor administration going down the low road of “getting tough” by agreeing to and defending every police request or behaviour with no discrimination whatever.
There really is lots of value – for good honest coppers too – in an inquiry which doesn’t just clean out the rot but also has the demonstration effect of reminding the force that they’re there to serve civil society and are not above the law.
We crossed comments, Lefty E!
Mark – Victoria may well need a Fitzgerald Inquiry but not into incidents such as ejecting obnoxious violent yobs from the tennis or putting the frighteners on a dickhead who invited a couple of hundred other dickheads to bother the neighbours and couldn’t say “er um er um sorry ” even after a day or two to seek advice and think about it.
Lefty E,
Speaking of the Victorian Police Association – Four Corners did a story on their antics last year.
http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2006/s1843824.htm
The Labor Govt is probably more sophisticated that Joh when it somes to PR and spin. They’ve avoided a lot of the ’scandal’ faced by QLD and NSW Govts, and they haven’t necessarily been that much better.
Any inquiry into Vic police would need to be a Royal Commission.
I had to laugh at this article I found a few days ago – it’s Paul Mullett in 2004, swearing black and blue that a Royal Commission is unneccessary:
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/18/1082226633481.html?from=storyrhs
Speaking of Royal Commissions, WA has had the Kennedy Roiyal Commission looking into corrupt activities under the watch of former Victorian Assistant Commisioner Bob Falconer.

Indeed Mark, but you put it better.
Just sayin’ folks, with the exception that the Commissioner and (probably) Government themselves aren’t nakedly corrupt, the whole scene and culture reminds me of Brisbane circa ‘86.
Not cool.
Steve At The Pub [9]:
You put that so delightfully.

The correct term is “IN Queensland” not “Queenslander”; there’s a world of difference. Now, where’s that Return-To-sender button? Found it. Destination? Japanese whaling ship in Southern Ocean. Press “Enter” key to send. Beauty! It worked. “Ah, konnichi-wa Brucey-san”.

Thats right Frank- one of the VIC deputy commissioners is suspended (on full pay) as we speak.

To be perfectly honest, Corey is a downright spoilt little brat.
I’m an 18 year old who loves a night on the town. But I have an incredible level of respect for my parents. I appreciate & understand how hard they’ve worked to give me the house & education I have today.
Corey is lapping up the attention, and he’s too cowardly to go home & face the real music. But yelling at this kid will be like water off a ducks back – pointless. By offering him gigs & money to be interviewed, that’s not discipling him, it’s giving him his 15 minutes of fame. But eventually he will have to go home & confront his parents. At the VERY least, they deserve an apology & an explanation.
Corey’s 16 years old now. He’s allowed to leave school. He’s allowed to move out. He’s at the age to face responsibility for his actions. He knew perfectly well what situation he was putting himself, and his home in, on Saturday night by posting that MySpace Bulletin. Charge the little bastard & send a clear message to any other 16 year olds who may think they may be able to get away with it too.
I just feel sorry for the poor parents. But maybe he is too young to be left alone. & with an immaturity level of this extreme, how could you ever trust him??
Corey, bottom line. You’re a dickhead. Show the tinest bit of decency & go home & give your parents the respect they deserve.
If Jessica is 18, I’m 90.
Anyone under 30 who’s read this story would immediately recognise that Corey is a hero unparalleled in human history.
“I have to say that his response to being treated like an idiot by some clueless hack keen to display her moral worth was to respond in kind.”
Yes, it’s made him a cult hero among his Myspace peers.
It’s a massive and highly entertaining beatup. I do feel for the neighbours facing broken car windows and despoiled lawns. On the other hand how do you put a price on your involvement in a dinner party topic that went global?
Anyway, after an 30 minute chat with Max Markson, Corey should be able to sling his parents a serious five figure cheque to placate everyone who feels out of pocket. Then onto him as a surprise guest on the next series of Big Brother – along with 500 of his closest friends.
[ Then onto him as a surprise guest on the next series of Big Brother - along with 500 of his closest friends.]

Oh and before mobiles, SMS and the Intertubes, there was CB radio, which was used to advertise parties etc BTW, is Neil Mitchell back from holidays yet – sounds like a talor-made story for him – his colleague in Perth Howard Sattler would KILL for a story like this
Everyone:
Let’s see if I’ve got this right.
Young bloke wants to have a good time. Is naive/stupid in how he goes about it. Upsets neighbours then police then friends and then parents; damage, mischief and inconvenience happen [reinforcing impression of naivity/stupidity]. Folly of it all publicized in news media as a warning to other young people about how not to organize a party. Maybe await his return a few years from now as an eminent scientist or accomplished musician or somesuch. End of story.
Oh no it’s not!
Here we can distract the whole country from worrying about the SubPrime Depression and whether they will have a job, a house and enough to eat by the end of this financial year. They can fiddle with all the minutae of this incident and its aftermath instead of wondering if/when/how Kev08 will morph into Howard II. Since Osama bin-Ladel has temporarily absented himself from his role as the Enemy We Can All Hate, this young bloke will do as a fill-in. Hell, let’s not shilly-shally; let’s put him straight on the payroll of a major media corporation; he’s worth his weight in gold [even at nearly USD 900/troy ounce].
Thank goodness I have books to read and interesting non-”news” websites to visit.
the whole shebang is bloody silly
the kid is a twerp, the parents are hopeless, the police are totally crap and commercial FM radio is..well… commercial FM Radio…
sigh.
the again there is that Kevid Rudd and his larger sideburns. Damn Hippie.
“the kid is a twerp, the parents are hopeless, the police are totally crap and commercial FM radio is..well… commercial FM Radio…”
Yes, that sure sounds like the early 21st century.
That Damascus Road thing was one of my bigger mistakes. I command that the universe forgets it.
What else would you expect God to look like?
I think there is somewhat of a over-reaction of criticism of all involved here,and no real suggestions,which is sad in itself, to assist all those involved to insure Corey measures up to responsibility in the future,as much as if he thinks he is a complete man now ,implies facing the fact of his actions and friends costing many people ,and government unwanted costs.His attitude has been distinctly not accepting,people who have known him for years as neighbours just accepting the activities of the Party,which didnt have his parent approval.And do all the posters here,volunteer as individuals to have bottles thrown at them!Good!You can all stand in for Police attending similar events,and wear a special uniform,that indicates where you want the bottles to land on yourself.This kid has got leadership qualities,its self evident.And the Police may know this,but what do you do with a kid like this!? He should himself round up his friends, apologise in person to all the neighbours Police etc.,and commit themselves as young adults in the numbers of the party to tackle some community work,that may pay some of the costs, without Police or Court direction.In fact,in any pursuing court appearance the judg could ask him,what does he think needs to be done out of a sense of fairness, rather than penalty.And if he chooses not to suggest a way, then adult penalties have to be applied.
Does this point to the fact that outer Melbourne “suburbia” is just rows of houses with little for the local teenagers to do in their spare time?
Nearly 500 local young people are reported to have attended the event; that means a large number of teenagers just hadn’t anything better to do last Saturday night?
Maybe an unsupervised party with unlimited liquor and (reported) group sex was a real “buzz” for the kids attending but a house has been “trashed”, neighbourhood disrupted and, possibly, a “wave” of teenage pregnancies in a few months’ time?
Corey may done us all a favour by drawing attention to the general problems of outer “suburbia”.
Where does he go when no one can find him? Surely he would be recogniseable from his hair and distinctive yellow sunglasses. I wonder what his career aspirations were before the party? Maybe now he is headed for a successful career in event management?
“Maybe now he is headed for a successful career in event management?”
Quite possibly. Or head of PR for a funky local hedge fund.
I “hafta” to say though that you “Tiger99″ are “certainly” on the “fast track” to a “career” in “quote mark” distribution.
“I wonder what his career aspirations were before the party? Maybe now he is headed for a successful career in event management?”
The internet and savy users is turning this into an event .
He is geeting friendly media exposure in the US now -http://www.break.com/index/australian-party-kid-on-opie-and-anthony.html
He’s not stupid. His key identifiers, the glasses and fur hood give him an instantly recogniseable visual profile that’s gone global. Yet the moment he takes ‘em off you wouldn’t know how to recognise him if he didn’t want to be recognised.
Who ever said getting up early was good for you?
’savvy ‘ and ‘getting ‘ that should be.
“Who ever said getting up early was good for you?”
I know who said that. And I have his name and address which I’m willing to share with you for a reasonable fee. But bags the first bucket of ice cold water in his face though as he snoozes past sunrise.
Speaking of which, look at the bloody time now. Time to hit the sack.
“Free Corey Delaney!�

@53 & @64 Frank
It was MLC
And Falconer was commissioner from 1994.
Is this why the Thais send their adolescent boys away to Buddhist monasteries for a few years?
I think child porn charges are substantial enough charges
Are they though?
“Producing” not “distributing” – what it no doubt means is that he took photos or videos of kids at the party in a state of undress.
Nice way by the cops to reinforce the notion that COREY IS TEH EVIL though…
Mark,
I can’t believe you made a comparison between Hicks and this Casey knob.
One is an evil little bastard who went off to train with terrorists in the hope of fullfilling some bloodlust fantasy and get to kill people.
The other is a typical angst ridden 16 year old who has a lot of growing up to do.
So, something else for us to be collectively appalled about. I guess our media moguls have determined that appalled people buy more fish and chip wrap and watch more KFC ads.
Swap Party Boy for the Sea Shepherd Two.
Then the Japanese can do some “scientific whaling” on him….
Gee, young Corey must have suddenly reverted to immature behaviour as soon as his parents left him home alone and went on their hols.
How could his parents possibly have guessed that young Corey might take advantage of their absence, trash their house and the neighbourhood and take naughty pictures of minors doing what comes natural to them after half a bottle of Stolli?
They only live with him.
How could the MSM guess that Corey’s antics would be A1 human interest/filler material world-wide at the fag end of the silly season?
Dumb luck!
But of course Corey has carved out a career for himself as an A-list event organiser. So, all’s well that ends well.
Not.
The trick to being in denial is to make sure that you stay in denial.
The pornographic material is reported as being semi naked shots of kids playing Twister.
Oh the horror.
Semi naked – honestly , the wowserism is nauseating.
This is becoming farcical – the police are compounding their problems with this incident by overreacting in such a heavy handed way.
Sales of Twister – special Corey version are mooted.Sunnies not included.
I suspect that the child porn charges are being laid to allow an attempt at a criminal conviction. If successful the police should then be able to push the ‘proceeds of crime’ angle for all the media paychecks etc.
Looking back, at 16 I was too shit scared of my idiot mates damaging property and breaking household items (and the consequent parental retribution) to ever invite more than 50 people to a ‘my-parents-are-away’ party.
They’re not “problems”. As a real estate agent might say, they’re “features”.
FXH at #40: they still do the phone book and station-stairs routine, but only if it’s a party thrown by housing commission kids.
Steve @ 49,
Thanks for the link. I put my money where my mouth is and sent the kid a message of support. I hope Corey does make a career as an event organiser. My worry is the cops will be so heavy handed they’ll wreck his whole life bacause of an act of extreme teenage stupidity which severely embarrased them. Helicopters, dogs, hordes of police. Okay, they were very noisy, very unruly kids who scared the shit out of the neighbours, who played Twister semi-nude. They should all get together and pay for the damage. Especially the ones who committed the vandalism.
No matter what the kid has done this scapegoating caper is manifestly unfair.
Let this be a lesson to you Corey, and one I learned early: if its gonna be a big one, always invite the neighbours.
“I can’t believe you made a comparison between Hicks and this Casey knob.”
Look, Im flattered that everyone keeps on mistaking me for Corey. I can see why, and all, but just to note, I would never wear that jacket with those shades. Never.
Lefty E at 52
“Amazingly, it never occurs to them to shoot some mad bloke in the leg.”
Surely you jest.
OMG semi-naked twister i did not realise it was THAT bad. Spin the bottle, probably, and playing pool in the old mans’ garage.
Mothers of Mothers of Narre Warren
Heed the warning before it’s too late!
Watch for the tell-tale sign of corruption!
The moment your son leaves the house,
Does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee?
Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger?
A dime novel hidden in the corn crib?
Is he starting to memorize jokes from Capt.
Billy’s Whiz Bang?
Are certain words creeping into his conversation?
Words like ’swell?”
And ’so’s your old man?”
Well, if so my friends,
Ya got trouble,
Right here in Narre Warren!
Nope. Quite serious.
Some unmedicated schizophrenic with a knife will be perfectly fine after a shot of anti-psychotic medication; unless he dead because some trigger happy cowboys aimed at his head and chest.
If he has a gun, now thats different. But there’s been plenty of examples in the last five years, including that disgraceful one on the beach with five gun -toting police against one mad bloke with a knife.
You can seriously be suggesting they needed to shoot him dead?
One really has to wonder how often Lefty E is confronted by a nutter who threatens serious physical harm.
How often does he have to walk the walk?
[@53 & @64 Frank
It was MLC
And Falconer was commissioner from 1994.
Thanks for reminding me about the "Ladies" of MLC - it's aamazing that the most sexually permissive are those who attend exclusive single sex schools - must be the lack of those of the opposite gender that gets their hormones going into overdrive.
And you're right about Bob Falconer - the bloke who presided over that wonderful communications revolution called CADCOM - pity the supplier of radios (BAE) went bust and that the radios and computers couldn't talk witn eacher other. They've only now got it right with a new Motorola Designed system which is in it's final stages of implementation- they are curently in simulcast mode between the digital rencrypted network, and the current Analogue system, with most radio traffic now being reduced cos the jon details are being sent via Data Terminals.
Us Scanner Freaks will be starved for info, once they switch off the analogues network in the next few weeks or so.
Child porn charges?
>
Great. I can just see it now. Take on DV camera a few underagers who think Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are cool and um some casual misogyny and um what do you get?
>
Yuk! That’s really really really yuk.
Without knowing the particular circumstances of the Bondi case, if I was a cop standing in front of a knife wielding person, schizo or otherwise, and that person made a play towards me, I would not be aiming for his leg, I’ll give you the tip. To train cops to shoot in the leg to immobilise would open up a whole new can of worms, wouldn’t it? Imagine a cop shooting a villain in the leg to immobilise but accidentally hitting a major artery causing fatal wounds. It may have been a case which the cop wouldn’t otherwise have shot but now he is going to find himself in ten types of legal hurt. But surely, a dose of a Taser would be a win-win in many of these cases? (Obviously weren’t available in the Bondi case)
So he has been charged with child porn, which turn out to be pictures of semi naked girls his own age playing a game. He has also been charged with public nuisance. A 16 year old kid being crushed by the full power of the Victorian police. The Victorian police commisioner should be charged with child abuse
Robert, it is the police trying to send a deterrent message to anybody else who was considering the same thing.
The police aren’t allowed to control or stop such a situation once it develops, all they can do is suffer damage to their cars & in the aftermath try for something, anything which will stick, eg child porn charges.
If Victorian police were allowed to control and stop suburban mayhem like that the party wouldn’t have got to the point it did.
He’s now been offered a spot on Big Brother so it’s win-win. The average IQ on the show goes up, and there’s some money to pay for the damage to his parents’ house.
Actually, Steve, I used to manage a mental health deinstitutionalisation program and have in fact been confronted with a floridly delusional schizophrenic client wielding a knife.
On my own. For half an hour.
I talked him down, got the Sam.T. Hell out, and liaised with Community Mental Health and the cops to ensure he wasn’t harmed.
He was fine the next day after a shot of Clozapine. He lives a fruitful life in the community with weekly visits from Community Mental Health to make sure he’s med-compliant.
So, yes, I guess Ive walked the walk, thanks. My view remains unchanged.
Tasers arent a bad idea, Waxeater. Much preferable.
Lefty, I wasn’t asking for anecdotes where nobody got hurt.
I asked how often you have to walk this walk.
I LOVE this story. I only wish You Tube had been around when I was throwing these parties.
I guess the answer is: more than most, Steve.
An its not just an anecdote – its also accepted practice for interventions in some states. Our service used to train in police education and liaison. Not something that happens in all states – but should. Fact is, most cops dont understand the episodic nature of mental illness at all. This is the part of the problem. Maybe yours too.
Basically, I dont accept that unwell people, outnumbered, with a less threatening weapon than a gun, need to be killed to be overpowered.
And how “often” you confront the situation is wholly irrelevant to that basic principle.
Lefty, you are talking like a lawyer. Could you please try talking like a person and actually address the issue?
By “address the issue”, do you mean “quit talking from actual experience and just agree with some uninformed popular prejudice that lethal police shootings are necessarily justified because there was some type of threat evident from a ‘crazy’ person”?
No thanks.
The issue, SATP, seems to me to be that killing folks should be a last resort. Apparently for you, five gun-toting cops confronting one loony with a steak knife constitutes a “last resort”, shoot to kill scenario. Not to me.
Fire the gun in the air first (they didn’t). Fire low if you feel convinced that you or someone else is going to get seriously hurt (they didn’t).
Here’s one for you: can you tell us where the cutoff is for lethal force being applied by trained law enforcers? Or is it simply a matter of “you weren’t there and you don’t know what you’re talking about”? The logical result of this line of thinking is that no cop can ever be reprimanded, unless you can tell us where YOU draw the line.
GO!
Lefty E are you a lawyer? You talk in circles without going near to the point, only lawyers do that and still think they are talking sense.
FDB, you have read every word I have posted, and not one of them was “nutters with steak knives should be killed”. Please read for comprehension.
The cutoff point for lethal force is simple, when an offender is not offering lethal force, and is not likely to. Don’t want to be sorted out by cops with superior weapons? Then don’t wave a knife at them. Myself, I have always wondered why with that many cops they didn’t draw batons & belt him one. This may have resulted in the offender having a broken arm. Shooting him seems rather extreme.
You don’t read much of what I post FDB, or you would know that I am a very outspoken opponent of police using lethal force. Try a bit more reading, and a bit less of assumptions and throwing cavalier “apparently…” into your postings.
SATP – in response to this from LE:
“If he has a gun, now thats different. But there’s been plenty of examples in the last five years, including that disgraceful one on the beach with five gun -toting police against one mad bloke with a knife.
You can seriously be suggesting they needed to shoot him dead?”
you said this:
“One really has to wonder how often Lefty E is confronted by a nutter who threatens serious physical harm.
How often does he have to walk the walk?”
Perhaps you can clarify what you meant for me?
I read quite a bit of what you write by the way. This isn’t the first time you’ve demonstrated serious inconsistency in your beliefs/arguments, then suggested the problem is other peoples’ reading comprehension.
I take it FDB, that is your way of coping with having been picked up making a totally incorrect and baseless assumption about someone?
Obviously, police should always shoot to kill, provided they warn their targets with some kind of pre-action-reel catchphrase, and provided the target has also been given time to utter some kind of identifying catchphrase or epithet against the firing police officer before they’re killed. In the case of crowds of criminals, this might be waived, depending on the size and nature of the gang, and whether they’re armed also with firearms, or simply with knives, swords, cleavers, etc. In the case of vehicle-to-vehicle firefights, police may only fire one-handed. Ninjas, of course, should only be defeated in single combat, if at all.
Police also should be trained to be especially careful of plot-centred villains, who often recover from mortal woulds in order to fire last shots during dialogue.
I think I’ve isolated the problem FDB.
“I think I’ve isolated the problem”, translation: Katz took a look in a mirror.
Why are Victorian Police coming on all heavy with this kid, who is nothing more than a dumb irresponsible twit, albiet one who is in very deep sheep with his parents and neighbors, when the G20 protestors and their organisers, who engaged in actual criminals acts, posed a far greater threat to society, and cost the state far more money, were not pursued with anywhere near the same zeal.
Because they can?
SATP – you have failed to respond to my simple demonstration of what led me to believe you were defending the shooting of the man on the beach that LE brought up.
Could you please:
a) tell me why I was wrong to thus interpret your own words,
b) admit that my interpretation was right, or
c) keep carping that I’ve misread you without a shred of explanation, which will by any reasonable reader be interpreted as taking option b, but in a cowardly fashion.
Corey’s party got out of hand because of alcohol – the same sort of stuff sold by satp.
Corey & his friends are underage, they didn’t get it from me.
Yes, I sell that sort of stuff, and serve it responsibly. Irresponsible consumption turns people into Corey & friends, or into someone like Silkworm.
“S funny. I can’t remember how many times my friends and I got drunk/stoned/otherwise inebriated as teens and, like, we never destroyed our parents houses. Not once. I guess we haven’t lived ‘ey.
SATP’s capacity to derail a thread is legendary.
Why bother?

Well, they were pursued by the tabloid press pretty relentlessly. All for the heinous crime of assaulting police batons, after the coppers have hidden their badges.
“The cutoff point for lethal force is simple, when an offender is not offering lethal force, and is not likely to. Don’t want to be sorted out by cops with superior weapons? Then don’t wave a knife at them. Myself, I have always wondered why with that many cops they didn’t draw batons & belt him one. This may have resulted in the offender having a broken arm.

Well, this sounds more reasonable to me SATP. Why not batons indeed?
Id just add that a schizophrenic person in a psychotic episode may well be hallucinating (and honestly believe) he’s being assaulted by 5 armed robbers / 5 devils/ 5 torturers – depending on the nature of the delusional system.
They arent necessarily seeing 5 coppers.
Lefty E, in Steves’ world, every oz male should be allowed to have a gun strapped close to their groin, as a human right, in case of danger. He never got over playing cowboys and injuns.
Why bother?
SATP: “Why are Victorian Police coming on all heavy with this kid, who is nothing more than a dumb irresponsible twit, albiet one who is in very deep sheep with his parents and neighbors, when the G20 protestors and their organisers, who engaged in actual criminals acts, posed a far greater threat to society, and cost the state far more money, were not pursued with anywhere near the same zeal.”
Or, in other words “Why are Victorian Police coming on all heavy with this kid, who is nothing more than a dumb irresponsible twit, albiet one who is in very deep sheep with his parents and neighbors, when George Bush and his handlers, who engaged in actual criminals acts, posed a far greater threat to society, and cost the state far more money, were not pursued with anywhere near the same zeal.”
Well mate, when you set up a straw-man, you know, they kinda get burnt. Idiot.
Well Joe, even if he doesn’t agree with me, it seems to me SATP’s view has become a bit more complex and nuanced in his last post, so that’s why I’d bother having a discussion.
Not that I mind pointless tit-for-tat ranting, of course.
Big fan in fact!

I am actually on the web looking for a lativan husband so I really don’t know why I am here but I thought I would give you my five cents worth. Last year I decided to buy a new house. In the search for a property in a particularly nice suburb I found the house of my dreams, a little expensive prehaps but with all the requirements I desired.
It was also next to the rented premises of a policeman, who was of lativan descent and as a result dropped dead georgous. (tall, blond, blue eyed so stylish we all thought he was gay).
Friends of mine, who lived in the suburb said to me ”watch the area its a bit rough and ready” so I went and spent a couple of hours in the car to see what the area was like, and low and behold we got a party not disemilar in appearence to the party DC orgainised. (being me I gate crashed and had a great time,nothing like the chat up lines from dum teenages desperate to lose their virginity.I’m thirty eight, the max age was eighteen)
I gave the area the benifit of the doubt and went back a couple of more times at odd hours. every thing seemed ok apart from the domestic up the street. So I thought prehaps I would approch forementioned hot lativan policeman and ask his opinion?
If you value your life and freedom do not under any circumstances ask victoria police for anything.
As a result I now have a intervention order and a possible case for stalking. ten cops came and searched my house going though my patchwork, knitting, cross stich patterns, one of my computers was seized (Remember I want to buy a house). The house has been pulled from the market by the owners who were unable to sell the property as every prospective buyer ended up with an intervention order.
one of my teenage sons now live in a two car garage, as its the only way I can stop the fighting between the three of them.
roll on royal commission I am ashamed to admit I am from victoria, the worst however is I still think this bloke is hot.
should anyone know a tall blond lativan can you please send him my way. it would help if he had a V8 with a tow bar.
Well inthe first place you’re wrong. The so-called G20 violence boiled down to a small and untypical group that took the cops by surprise and was determined to create a ruckus. They were roundly condemned by all the organizations associated with the protest.
>
This didn’t include me. I don’t like protests and will only attend if it’s really really important like the Oz government’s disregard for the suspension of a citizen’s legal rights by our closest ally or a stupid war.
>
Free trade is not something I’d protest because it’s a good thing.
>
Thing is this Corey Worthlesston is not isolated. The Melbourne police are having a regular problem with kids his age who think that fighting cops is part of a night out. I’m not exaggerating. This is the second or third episode of a house party devolving into ultra-violence in a few months. There’s also the charming, recently concluded case, of a bunch of lovely lads (may Allah bless their crotches with an alien virus) who think it’s fun to sexually assault a disabled girl and sell the DVD.
>
In the last three months I have:
>
Witnessed four all out brawls between cops/security and the Young Dickhead Posse
>
Been assaulted once, with two attendant attempts at assault.
>
Seen a guy knocked unconscious because he talked to someone’s girlfriend
>
Almost dragged into an all-out brawl that erupted spontaneously on a sidewalk I just happened to be walking down.
>
Etcetera. The cops are sick of it. So are the rest of us. Ol’ Corey’s just the poster boy for phony tough Gangsta rap idiots. It’d actually be interesting to see him go to jail. Then he’d find out exactly how tough he really is.
Here we go Lefty E, do not start a blog.
That maybe the way to go for madness!
Tsk. I’ll bet you want him to be a lativan lipsniger as well.
Seriously, Angela, well done to you whoever you are—I’m still cacking myself.
Yep it’s a great story hopefully it will make the real estate annual on how not to sell a house.
Sorry I am from Moe – whats a lipsniger?
In the last few years I have had;
- human arm found on railway line; when I rang the cop shop bloke on phone recited to me ‘don’t worry lady, person it belong too is pretty ‘ármless now’ (such compassion, how will victoria cope with such dedication?)
- mentally unstable man break into the house at 6am in the morning. After helping him to the front door, eldest son rang triple 0 for assistance
police arrive at 1.30 pm in the afternoon six hours after incident why would you bother ?
- arrived home to find all windows broken by what appeared to be slug gun. walked broken window around to neighbour hood watch coordinator who rang the police on my behalf. still waiting for attendance, that was october 2005.
- had mum’s cat eaten by a staffy dog, when I attempted to adjust the attitude of the owner coped a punch in the nose. Police attended on the request of neighbour. Nothing can be done about the owner of the dog because he is a druggie.
- house fire had to rescue elderly neighbour from burning house. suprisely police actually attended after I had completed rescue, which is lucky for me because I propably would have been trapped by them inside the burning house, windows broken in fire arm incident have now been fixed. couldn’t get hose over to the fence to squirt cop i can’t stand, which was the biggest disappointment of the night.
brohers house broken into all his cash cloths and food pinched. found offender and got his stuff back after a ‘discussion’ with the female druggie who did the pinching. he is charged with assualt she walks scot free.
- my intervention order. beautiful house, five bedrooms premier schools, hot lativan neighbour, could almost pay cash. What am I going to do to the hot neighbour, give him a few cupcakes? offer him a sausage in bread when we have a bbq? Beef goulash mash potaoes lativan sourkraut on a cold winter’s night ?
maybe he had concerns about my plans for the pool?
need help? been raped? victim of domestic violence? copped a flogging in the main street – do not ask for help because you will not get any, particularly if your of aboriginal desecent and come from Moe.
insidently the town I wanted to buy in Drouin copped a flogging from the media from a birthday party which got out of control in ferris st. It made the media because the police again lost control but more importantly because the participate where of aborginal decent.
you have got to love vicpol. single handedly responsible for the distruction of the aboriginal race in victoria, able to murder more of victorians mentally challenged population than all of the other police services in australia combined.
responsible for the multitude of ned kellys at the sydney olympics
feel safe? victoria police fail repeatedly to met the needs of the community
Whats the problem..?
16 …your supposed to party.
Keep it real Corey. 20 grand well spent.
Erik
SteveAtThePub [98 et seq.]:
Actually, THIS time I agree with LeftyE. [Been there, done that - far too often - but thankfully, always with a non-fatal result but can appreciate the viewpoints of both of you].
He/she hasn’t had to put up with impoliteness at closing time nor the ingratitude of customers when you have suggested alternative venues for their activities nor all the delights from those who chose your place to resolve their relationship problems. He/she has had to deal with someone whose illness forces them them to live elsewhere than on Planet Earth and with someone defending themselves vigorously against all your tricks and schemes to murder them.
Keep talking to each other – you’ll be surprised how many similar experiences you each have.
Fkn a! 137Hitz on dis thred. LUv dis sh-t! Like its da media? Sik.
Was looking at Realestate dot com tonite and one of the ads on side of the page goes something like “neighbours driving you crazy?” with a pic of that infamous kid and his glasses with a police helicopter zooming above.
Thought it was pretty clever creative actually.
More Corey madness: http://www.coreyspace.com …
After reading through this lengthy thread, I realized that I couldn’t go without commenting.
I’m 48 yrs old, and between my wife and I (re-married) have 5 kids and one grandchild.
Haveing gone through the teenage years of all our kids, I’ve seen a LOT! Our youngest, now 21, has a lot of friends so like Corey it is amazing, any one of which he could have been modeled on. I wouldn’t waste a vegemite sandwich on some of them to be honest. But over the years I’ve seen more of them mature into reasonable human beings.
But as has been mentioned, stupidity is not in itself a crime. maybe disrespect perhaps should be though.
Over the years, each of our kids have had parties that got a little out of hand, and a lot of the ‘peers’ treated it like it was their right as a guest in our home to wreak havoc, where and when they saw fit. Result…..ejected or in a couple of cases, police were called.
In every case, our kids had the respect, not to mention guts to aplologize for their actions in allowing things to go awry, and usually managed to get the offenders to apologize to us. End of problem.
In Corey’s case, the problem lies in a few areas.
1. Not enough guts to approach his parents to apologize or even talk about it.
2. He actually thinks himself a hero for his part in this whole thing.
3. The only reason he is being offered anything at all is because of the sensationalism the media so fondly crave, but that is their job I suppose.
His use of an internet site, and the resultant furore, would probably have resulted in 50000 idiots attending if it had been held in the US, rather than in a back suburb of Melbourne. Nothing new here other than the huge increase in accessibility to the masses.
I realize that most kids can access booze too easily, and we’ve got a long way to go before we get that issue under control, but that’s at the heart of things.
At the end of the day, the losers here will be the parents of kids who are even marginally as idiotic as Corey, their job just got a lot harder. I hope my granddaughter learns that having fun shouldn’t come at others expense.
It strikes me that Corey is very angry at his parents’ divorce and the presence of a non-related Alpha male in the coop.
Wow, it sounds like an an absolutely cracking party…naked twister?!? Brilliant!! How do I get an invite to his next party?
John Greenfield i believe you are spot on in this case.
Angela, Angela, from Moe? Come on love not worthy of your otherwise impeccably high standards.
Are you looking for a specific bloke Angela? Or will any Baltic male do?
I cant believe they are charging him with “producing child pornography”. Those laws were designed to PROTECT children not used as a punishment for an out of control teenager who has a party.
Whan an irony, a law used to protect minors being used to ruin a kids life. (that kind of charge doesnt look good on a resume)
The police might be better employed trying to catch REAL paeodophiles.
Lets leave Corey to the social workers , his familiy and his future.
Angela, Glad to see that Moe is still the place we’ve all grown up to know and drive past at high speed.
I am actually on the web looking for a lativan husband so I really don’t know why I am here but I thought I would give you my five cents worth.
Are you looking for a specific bloke Angela? Or will any Baltic male do?
any baltic male will do provided that he is Baltic male, over 24 but under 35 years of age, (need a toy boy) blond, blue eyed, 110 kilos, 193cm handsome, stylish and must have big feet. Can bring his own goat as we have room. Lativan preferred but have some experience with lithuanian so that’s acceptable too. (oh la la he was a big boy) Lativan’s like to fight with their neighbours (a bit like Corey Delaney so I am not so sensitive about the intervention order now). I would also prefer he don’t speak english, and have no rights to citerzenship so we can give him back to the immigration department if things don’t work out.
would help if he has V8 car (will accepted commodore vz ss with flutes) ford perfered. Would help if car has a tow bar and he has horse float to put goat in.
Back to subject at hand army cadet mate who’s lives in the same street as Corey Delaney is quite interested in catching up with him along with the thirty or so neighbours. Aparantly a lynch party has been organised. She is most interested in him cleaning up the glass from her brand new car rear and front windscreen. Still looking for her washing from the cloths line. Must have been an interesting experience.
Via SMS and MySpace, I trust.
Maybe a band of Latvian mercenaries could be organised through Facebook?
WTF is a “Lativan”?
Come on now, a Lativan is a citizen of one of the Blatic States, along with the Lutianians and the Setonians. Everyone knows that.
And I wish Angela the very best in her pursuit of a Latvian love-bucket. May you find the man of your dreams and may your days together be long and filled with happiness.
The media loves to bash up people. Remember Michelle Leslie and others? It is worse that this guy is only 16. I hope that the sections of the media involoved are pursued for criminal offences if they have violated the law. They certainly violate moral law on a regular basis.
Yes, yes, that’s all very well and good Alistair. But are you Latvian?
And perhaps more to the point, exactly what about blokes from that tiny Baltic enclave rings Angela’s bell in Moe? I mean aside from the fact that the Treaty of Altmark in 1692 accidently ceded Victoria’s brown coal deposits to Gustav Adolf the Great.
Inquiring minds want to know.
hey people jezz he is only 16 let him get away with it…
he is now known as AUSTRALIA’S BEST PARTY GUY which that makes him famous
so leve him alone let him free.dont fine him.let him party on.if you wont
let him party were he wants make a spot were he can party.
Who cares if he was drinking 80% of teenages drink thease days even wors smoke
so lwt him free and do what he wants.
COREYS SIDE 100% ur a legend
I can’t agree with the above comment (for obvious reasons). I don’t think his behaviour was ideal. Being 16 does not make it ok to behave like that.
Cripes people can be nasty !. It’s a 16 year olds’ job to be irresponsible. The Victorian Police Commisioner needs a stern lesson in the law as she appears to be utterly ignorant. Since when did she get the legal right to proclaim someone guilty of an offence-as in saying C.D. is finacially liable for the cost of the copper’s over-reaction ?. Has Nixon already forgotten that the courts decide guilt or not?. The mess that is the Victorian police force is now affecting the Commisioner who seemed to be a pretty decent dame before this. And did you see that copper who maced the Greeks at the tennis, turn tail and leg it out of the frame?. What a coward.
Uahahahaha.. Save Ferris Bueller!!!!
Hi, Found this online (Link below):
Oh to be like Corey, metal in my tits,
500 mates to party with,
giving cops the shits.
My shindig in suburbia
one of You Tube’s greatest hits.
Corey rammed it up the bum
of the prig on Channel Nine,
refused to say he’s sorry,
said his partying was fine.
Oh to be like Corey,
star of BBC world news,
claims old folks are obnoxious
and will not change his views.
His antics obliterated
war crimes in Bagdad,
he was spectacularly nasty
to his mother & his dad
500 Facebook pisspots,
a thousand cans of beer,
helicopters circling,
The Party of the Year
You’re a hit now Mr Corey,
a radical to boot,
for fogeys of the media
you couldn’t give a hoot.
“I won’t change for anyone!�
you said it to their face,
“I’ll stay young – have fun.â€?
But they’ll call you a disgrace.
They’ll trump up crimes against you,
like kiddie porn or worse,
and will even seize the moment
to put your pisstakes into verse.
So I will not deign to classify
your clowning right or wrong,
though I must admit to feeling
About Time You Came Along.

Jaz, that link is great. Ta.
Corey and the gang would have had alcohol on the premises. That is what he advertised…bring drinks and chicks. The gang did just that. Where were his parent! Agree, before mobile phones a lot would have gone on that no one knew about.
The girls concerned it seems were teenagers, young, used, and their parents did not know where they were. Of course, when they get alcohol in them, anything can happen. They should all be shamed, and I hope Corey names the lot of them in court.
Tell the parents!!!
That sow of a police commissioner and the whole Victoria Police should be ashamed of themselves for throwing these ridiculous trumped-up charges at Corey. This is the Victoria Police at their most evil, spiteful, hateful, and vindictive.
The court must give the police a good smack in the face for abusing their powers.
Is it really fair that this kid is held directly responsible for the actions of other assholes who showed up at his house? In this outrageously bureaucratic world, we assume it would be so. Any person is free to host people on his private property, and property damage committed by others once they have left his private party is clearly not his responsibility. To say so would be like holding the owner of a bar responsible when a patron leaves drunk and mows somebody down in his car. Unless he’s being sued by parents for providing their children with alcohol (which is fairly ridiculous considering the ease with which minors get alcohol and the degree to which minors are actually drinking [in most cases more responsibly than those who are of age {from personal experience}]), then there is really no cause to criticise this kid for anything, period.
Unless of course you hate having a good time.
Do you hate having a good time?
Personally, I think it’s awesome when a 16 year old kid has guts enough to give the proverbial finger to the media monkeys. Really inspiring.
Er… D.B.B. Bar owners ARE held responsible if a patron leaves drunk & mows down somebody in their car. EVERY incident, on or off the premises,no matter how minor, involving alcohol, has a liquor report made naming the premises which supplied the liquor.
This report is not necessarily accurate, however the incident goes on the “sheet” for that premises. If it is a serious incident, there is a very unhappy investigation conducted of the premises’ (& staff’s) possible culpability regards irresponsible/illegal provision of alcohol.
That said, it seems a bit of a stretch to blame him for the actions of gatecrashers. However if they were invited guests (myspace:”Everybody who reads this come to my place for a party”) then he IS likely to be held responsible for their actions.
DBB,
If you are a tenant of a premises you are responsible for any damage caused to the place you rent, except if its a storm or something.
Strangely, the open letter from Corey’s parents that was up before has disappeared from the News.com.au site.
There’s a related story which suggests the trouble started after two other teen parties in the area were closed down by the cops around 11pm, leading all the partygoers to go to Corey’s party.

If memory serves, his parents said he and his friends remained inside the house when the cops came round and that he’d done that at the cops’ request.
So it was all the coppers’ fault because they shut down the other two parties? Only in Australia, party capital of the world.
Lol awwww poor britney is having a spasm. Whats wrong dear cant handle the truth? I suppose thats what you get when your young dumb and full of cum. Stop backing him up like hes been thru hell. He caused it mate so stop trying to justify his actions. Come see me britney because im capable of running your head thru the wall several times.
I wished people would stop treating him like a celebrity because whats so good about trashing your parents house and instilling fear into others. There was a time when i just wanted to be a cop because i thought it would be awesome to help protect society but now i have a purpose. To get rid of idiots who know nothing about responsibilty. Hoons, drunks and people with kiddie porn. How disgusting is that. This little kid needs to be taught a lesson and just like paris hilton needs to be made an example. If i ever see his face in brisbane im gonna scratch every little bit of acne until im satisfied their all gone
Linda – follow “Britney’s” link to see what a fool you’ve made of yourself. And no, I don’t mean your writing skills.
Coret has been receiving death threats apparently. Whats rthe world coming to? Death threats to a siilly teenage party animal, homophobic fundies demonstrating a Heath Ledger’s funeral. Posts like Linda’s. I suppose this is the tail end of the Howard era shaking itself out. I nearly died of shock this morning watching Kevin Rudd tell the truth on morning TV. I haven’t quite got my head around the fact we’ve elected an honest Government, and that we aren’t being lied to anymore. Besides, I’ve had a good day. Got a new TV. Getting a cheap washing machine ($60) next week; my old one broke last week.
And Linda, you’re exactly the kind of person we don’t want becoming a cop.
he’s 16 we get it-but the fact that he’s no longer at home and parents have gone to ground speaks volumes…
I just saw an eBay listing for a Corey Delaney clock! OMG. What will be next?

What if I were to lipsniger him?
Liam,
as I understand lipsnigerring, isn’t that a biological impossibility? More seriously, it seems Corey’s mobile phone recorded brawl was all an act, staged for publicity. The kid is areally playing on the adager ‘any publicity is good publicity.” Word has it the constabulary are not amused.
Ella, Ella, what the hella?
Spelling and punctuation would give your threats way more menace – you just come across as a semi-literate girl gone wild.
Oh wait.
