I think that seeing as this is an australian article, it should use the australian (british) spelling for JAIL (not GAOL).

too right! changed -- Ian ≡ talk 01:40, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

but GAOL is British spelling for jail. I've seen Australian newspapers spell it GAOL. [1] [2]

According to American and British English spelling differences (footnote), jail predominates in Australia. -- Ian ≡ talk 04:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Helecopter or light plane? Bought or given?

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=60040 states differently to us. Rich Farmbrough 18:38, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

I must admit that my personal recollection of the news story was light plane, but a google search for "brian mickelberg helicopter" returns at least 6 credible news sources saying he died in a helicopter crash in 1986, and "brian mickelberg plane" returns a similar number, so I don't know what to do. -- Ian ≡ talk 10:12, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Also Ray served eight years of a 20-year sentence, Peter served six years of a 14-year term, which, if tru, is worht including. Rich Farmbrough 18:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
