500 charities to benefit from new Thread Together investment
By Imogen Bailey | 5 February 2021
Thread Together will now be able to support over 500 charities and partners, following the opening of its new warehouse in Banksmeadow Sydney.
The new location was officially opened by Her Excellency The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of NSW and was attended by high-profile Thread Together fashion partners.
The 1600sqm space will future-proof Thread Together for the next three years and will become a hub for giving back, founder Andie Halas said. This new facility will allow us to grow and be a communal hub for giving back.
A BLACKMAILER threatened his Bolton mum that he would kidnap and maim her grandson unless she paid him money, a court heard. Robert Purcell told his mother, Edna, he would abduct the boy and ‘cut off his body parts’, prosecutors say. The 25-year-old, who had been making cash demands from his mother for some time, also threatened to petrol-bomb her house. He repeatedly texted her to make his demands. Purcell is starting a 26-month jail sentence after a judge at Bolton Crown Court said he had caused “serious alarm” following a string of offences. Passing sentence, Judge Graeme Smith, said he “shouts his mouth off without thinking of the consequences” and makes “nasty” threats to people.

Unlicensed driver detected on Day 6 of road-safety operation
A man who allegedly attempted to avoid police has been charged with unlicensed driving, on day six of the state-wide Christmas and New Year’s road-safety operation.
About 10:05am yesterday (Tuesday 29 December 2020), police sighted a vehicle travelling west along the Bruxner Highway, Ballina. Officers conducted a u-turn with the intention of stopping the vehicle for a random breath test.
The vehicle has then accelerated away and drove off the highway at the first available exit.
Police were able to stop the vehicle where the male driver was spoken to. Inquiries revealed that he did not hold a driver’s licence. It was also established that the man had only recently faced court for the same offence.
