GAME Swinging cancelled after Sydney event Victim of a one night stand…
GAME hosted the inaugural event in Sydney last November for gamers to meet, play games and trade. The idea was simple: it was a way for gamers to meet other gamers, partner up for a quick gaming session, and then maybe trade games. Unfortunately, the way the event was executed meant it only survived one night in Sydney, with the Melbourne and Brisbane events now cancelled.
The name GAME Swinging definitely sounds suggestive, but no one was quite prepared for what GAME had in store. Hiring strippers and escorts along to the night definitely seems to have gone too far. Paul Yardley, managing director of GAME Australia says that despite the many complaints the retailer received following the Sydney event he still considers it “a great success, but not everyone appreciated it.”

… She was upset more and more because of the situation (at home),’’ Dr Cywinski said, adding that she had started talking about wanting to move to a nursing home.
Mr Hunt asked if Ms Rendaric had been scared about Steven’s threat to kill her during several arguments.
Dr Cywinski agreed Ms Rendaric had been scared and upset but said he had believed her son made those threats during the heat of arguments and that Croatians often had lively fights.
“I think it’s just heated argument,’’ he told the court.
Dr Cywinski said he did not believe Ms Rendaric had committed suicide, although he said that was how her death appeared.
“I don’t think she committed suicide, to be honest,’’ he said.
The executor of Ms Rendaric’s will, family friend Susan Russell, told the court Steven’s parents had believed he was dealing with bikie gangs and that his girlfriend was involved in prostitution and drugs.

A TIP-OFF to the Salvation Army uncovered their ”abhorrent situation”. Three young women, allegedly lured to Australia from Thailand on the promise of student visas, had been allegedly held against their will to work as sex slaves in a Sydney brothel.

The three women, believed to be under 18, claim they were told they were travelling to Australia on student visas but, once here, their passports were confiscated and they say were taken to the brothel and forced to work as prostitutes.

The brothel owner, Phnom Penh-born Song Chhoung Ea, was arrested and charged with several offences carrying a maximum of 25 years’ imprisonment. The charges include conducting a business involving sexual servitude, facilitating entry of persons into Australia knowing they would be exploited and allowing persons to work knowing they were in breach of visa conditions.

A SYDNEY brothel owner charged with trafficking women to work as sex slaves had allegedly promised the Thai nationals they would be put through university and employed at his aquarium and fish supplies shop.
Song Ea, 42, of Casula, was arrested and charged with multiple sex slavery offences after three young Thai women allegedly went to a local western Sydney Salvation Army shop asking for help.
The Australian Federal Police allege Ea lured the women to Sydney on student visas, but confiscated their passports once they arrived last year and took them to a Guildford brothel where they were kept against their will.

AFP officers raided five homes and businesses in Sydney’s southwest on Tuesday night. Ea was charged with conducting business involving sexual servitude, intending to cause another person to enter into debt bondage and facilitating the entry of persons to Australia with recklessness.

A TIP-OFF to the Salvation Army uncovered their ”abhorrent situation”. Three young women, allegedly lured to Australia from Thailand on the promise of student visas, had been allegedly held against their will to work as sex slaves in a western Sydney brothel.

The three women, believed to be under 18, claim they were told they were travelling to Australia on student visas but, once here, their passports were allegedly confiscated and they say were taken to the brothel and forced to work as prostitutes.
The brothel’s website boasts of ”dream ladies” and an excellent reputation for luxurious, prestigious services.

The women chose to speak to police, leading to a long investigation culminating in late-night raids on the brothel as well as four residential and business addresses in Cabramatta, Casula and Canley Heights on Wednesday.
