Four Qantas baggage clerks convicted of bribery and fraud
Four Qantas baggage clerks in Sydney were convicted after an inquiry into alleged fraud and bribery over excess luggage. Sentences ranged from good behaviour bonds to a suspended nine month jail term as they were dismissed from service. One man was guilty of petty fraud while others took bribes from passengers. A Qantas spokesman said the scheme involved billing for more excess baggage than paid and noted the fraud was serious but not safety related.

Joyriders ordered to pay half damage
A Dunedin magistrate ruled four schoolboy joyriders must pay half the damage from a motorway collision north of the city. The total assessed cost for repairs is 1700 dollars, with the judge deciding between insurance coverage and community-shared liability for the youths and their parents.
