Subscriber only A solicitor has argued in court that because his client had no recollection of excessively speeding on the Warrego Highway, it reduced his criminality. Michael Adam Tanusoski pleaded guilty to two offences in the Gatton Magistrates Court on January 25, 2021. The two charges were disobeying the speed limit and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, after Tanusoski was intercepted by police on the Warrego Highway at Plainland, travelling 114 km/hr in an 80km/h zone. Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Al Windsor said on June 29, 2020, police were patrolling the Warrego Highway with a vehicle fitted with an on-board speed detector, and intercepted Tanusoski driving his vehicle.

THE discovery of a used syringe at Colleges Crossing has tainted what was supposed to be an idyllic afternoon for Trinette Marchant and her family.
Located by her children just metres from where they had been kayaking, the mother-of-five said it was a shock to see the grubby item floating at the river’s edge.
“We’ve been [to Colleges Crossing] a few times over the years, we just upgraded our gear over Christmas, so we were keen to get out and spend some time there,” she said.
While it was a lucky escape for the Brassall family, further issues were soon presented during Ms Marchant’s attempt to safely dispose of the needle.
LOCKYER Valley patients will receive treatment and a diagnosis more quickly now a new medical facility has been opened at Laidley Hospital.
