It’s not his character. He’s lazy and undisciplined. Relies on others to get by. Not the self sufficient type.
I don’t think he’s in the wilderness in this weather. Wouldn’t cope.
10 days out there without fire for warmth eating leaves and grubs. Jail cell would be preferable.
We have very nice prison accommodations here. You get McDonald’s and a PlayStation. Tennis courts, gym. Living the dream.
Although he is in Victoria so probably will get bail.
I think he’s either self unalived or probably staying with someone else. But theres also a lot of holiday accommodation around there. Homes, cabins, caravans. And it’s all vacant now.

Funerals for the two policemen are being held today. The wounded policeman is out of hospital and back at home

I like your fugitive Wannaroot. He thought like a squirrel. Became the squirrel. But alas, they found his acorns.


Yes the squirrel can't exist without the acorns. Take the acorns away or find where he gets them and it's game over.

Yes a 1m reward. Info only needs to lead to an arrest not a conviction. I wonder if they kill him before he is arrested will the reward be void.

The reward of “up to $1m” is the largest ever offered in Victoria for an arrest, said Det Insp Dean Thomas from the homicide squad.

Can’t claim reward if he’s dead. That sucks.

Can’t arrest or convict a dead person.

So if you find his body in a mineshaft would have to do the weekend at Bernie’s routine.

The bloke's guilty of a terrible and unnecessary crime, and he will probably be caught or killed sometime or other, because that's pretty obvious and what the intention is. But for all the vilification and initial huffing and puffing about how a bloke like him, a second-class citizen and no match for the superior government representatives seeking to kill him, he continues to show them up.


You can see the image right? You know a lot of people who go missing have tens/hundreds of people searching for them only to be found dead > 2km from where they went missing? Finding people in dense vegetation is hard. Finding alive people who want to actively escape in dense vegetation is harder.

You sound like you admire the guy and given all your anti Victoria and anti gov rhetoric this makes a bit of sense. We sure you should even have a license?

You know nothing about me, yet you make assumptions? You have 4 posts to your name as I reply, so you can be forgiven for your naivety.
My wife was a Qld cop, some of my best mates are still-serving cops that would "help me bury a body" if I asked and I have done the same for them. And they say the same things as I do. They have my utmost respect, something you will fail at.

Got a tip for you mate.
When you read something, don't just skim over the words. Absorb what's been written and use you comprehension skills to actually understand what the writer has put down. The construction of sentences and what is actually what's being said. Not your own personal biases or opinions. Then if you are a man, apologise.

Carry on in your dreamland, and thanks for showing me another example of the enemy within. Bye now.

Interesting how the story is developing, first the police said there were 3 police officers trying to talk to Dezi so not to scare or escalate the matter, but the daily mail release photos of at least 7 police members surrounding the bus trying to force enter to arrest him for the "historic sex offences" which turn out to be because he skinny dipped while on a group hike in front of a 16 year old girl serval years ago.

So how did he get away? The Daily mail gave the insight that he may have kayak down the river and the next day the police are search downstream of the river.

Rather telling.

With the reward now the same amount in todays money they issued for Ned Kelly, are they trying to make him a hero for the nutters?

Firstly Ned Kelly stole the equivalent of almost $1 Million, this simp isn't even close to the bandit Ned was.

Secondly its always been reported that 10 Police attended from the get go, and anyone can see from the footage that they were wearing body armour such was this lunatics history, sadly they have been proven correct.

Where is your escape by Kayak info coming from, post away ??

Well it’s the dailyfail. Perhaps not the most reputable media.

But who knows. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Ned Kelly, however, did not dress appropriately for water sports. Checkmate ColdStart.

Not quite checkmate, more like check. Ned Kelly's anti-swim friendly attire came much later after Stringybark creek. So check :D

I don't disagree at all, well maybe a little as I think its a stretch to far to even compare them to Tabloid journalism.

But they did get and release pictures of the cops at the bus and trying to get in, whereas no other journalist have done much at all, except to report what they have been told by the cops.

Still a lot of questions such as how did his wife and toddler get away? if they could, it's not much of a stretch to believe he got far far away. I wonder if the police are checking out Euroa? (that reference is for you womble :lol: )

They're only releasing what they want you to see, and gave you plenty of still pictures with a narration of the events they want you to beleive happened, not necesarrily how it happened.

Otherwise every media company would have all the footage

3 police shot, 2 killed.

They made a mistake. Error of judgment maybe. Error of communication. Dose’nt seem he was presumed armed and dangerous.

Wont be getting the full details ever. That would mean resignations.

You watch American videos on police arresting suspects. Someone so much as tries to scratch their nose and you get a dozen officers emptying clips.
Can’t blame them either.

But yeah. If you have a disagreement with police now and you’re a firearms owner. I’d be very careful and follow instructions precisely.

They always have a round chambered by protocol. Because who dares wins.
So if that weapon is drawn, don’t argue.

Not a very happy police force atm.

Round always chambered by common sense, a firearm without a round in the chamber is a club, not a firearm.

Sometimes, being on the outside or not taken seriously offers real freedom.

Unlike outlets that rely on government access or favourable treatment, independent media are not bound by the same pressures. They are not in anyone’s pocket and do not need to play by the rules to keep access.

Most people don’t realise that media access to press briefings, exclusives, and events is often conditional. Those who ask uncomfortable questions or refuse to toe the line risk being blacklisted.

But blacklisting brings a different kind of power: the freedom to tell the truth without fear of losing favour.

They are either really dumb or didn't think he had any firearms, so that asked the question why 10 people to arrest him for "skinny dipping" a few years ago?

Why haven't the police said the reason for them issuing a Firearms prohibition order? It certainly seems to be harassment by the local police, maybe that's why the higher ups didn't send the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) as they knew it was just a shakedown.

FPO are an interesting thing and very easy to use as a tool of harassment. Did you know the police could issue one against you because your behaviour of go around collecting rubbish from bins?

or any other behaviour they didn't like.

And they don't need to tell you why.

It was Dezi's son that sold or gave them to the Daily mail. Would be interested to know what he got and why they haven't published the video, must be a court order stopping them that we the public aren't allowed to know about.

After seeing his hand in the pic (https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/09/16 ... 017341.jpg) I could see it was fake but I figured I'd see what some of the forensic software thought of it and if I was wrong:
