Cafe Locked Out: (Interview starts at 6m 30s and goes for 1 hour).
Below is a very honest and raw interview with a grieving Father whose son recently committed suicide (August 2022).
His son Aaron Dalla Costa was fired from his dream job as a NSW policeman for not towing the line by handing his body over to the Government and big pharma.
Unfortunately, Aaron’s family and children will never get to see his smile or hear his laugh again because of this evil agenda our bureaucrats have thrown us into.
A photo of Aaron is in the comments.. look at him and try to understand that he was real, he was loved, and he spent years building his life to where he got it before it was all cut short
Thank you Michael Dalla Costa for sharing your story!
On Sunday 7th August our world was turned upside down when we tragically lost Azz.
A truly kind and caring husband to my sister Crystal, son to Jenny and Mino, brother to Bianca, grandson, uncle, brother in law, and friend to so many. And most importantly, an AMAZING father to Kobain & Ainsley.
No words can express the pain and loss his family and friends are feeling. There is going to be a hole in our lives and hearts forever.

M1 Pacific Motorway closure: pedestrian struck by truck, diversions in place at Warnervale
Updated August 8 2022 – 7:03am, first published August 7 2022 – 3:48pm
A SECTION of the M1 Pacific Motorway at Warnervale is expected to remain closed for some time after a pedestrian was hit by a truck.
The incident occurred just after 2.30pm on Sunday near Sparks Road. Emergency services, including police and paramedics, were called to the scene and quickly closed several lanes to traffic. The northbound lanes will remain closed while officers conduct investigations into the incident.
Northbound motorists are being diverted off the motorway at Sparks Road to rejoin the motorway using the on-ramp. Heavy traffic conditions have already been reported in the area and drivers should expect significant delays.
By all reports, Aaron was known as a Top Bloke and Good Copper.
During the height of the Covid19 Pandemic ( around 2020 – 2021 ), NSW Police members ( all staff – unless exempt ) were Directed to be vaccinated against the disease ( Mandated ). All Serving members who failed ( by a certain period ) to comply with this Mandate or otherwise failed to supply an Exemption were Served with a 181D ( Show Cause why your Employment should not be Terminated ).
‘ Not having ” the jab ” doesn’t necessarily make a person an ” anti vaxer ” ‘ but, allegedly, Aaron was Served with a 181D and eventually left the employ of NSWPF.
Whether the Mental Trauma & ramifications of a 181D was a causation factor in Aaron’s mind is unknown to me – although, had I been in his shoes ( and I have suffered a 181D ), I have no doubt how the man was feeling – having forfeited ” the job ” that he no doubt loved because of the Pandemic.
Aaron stepped in front of an oncoming B Double semi upon the M1, Warnervale, NSW.
May Aaron Forever Rest In Peace.
May his family find Peace and may the innocent B Double driver, and his family, also find Peace.
As stated to me, by another member on the original Post:
” It’s important during these challenging times for all of us to look out for each other and not to wait for someone who ‘knows him/her better’ to make contact and make sure they are ok.”
Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.

Police officer found dead at Sydney’s Ermington Police Station
An investigation has been launched after a police officer was found dead at a Sydney police station on Monday.
less than 2 min read
August 1, 2022 – 8:12PM
A detective has been found dead at a Sydney police station.
The body of a male police officer was found at Ermington Police Station in the city’s southwest at around 12.30pm on Monday, NSW Police said.
He is believed to have been shot with his police issue gun, the Daily Telegraph reported.
The 46-year-old detective sergeant from a specialist command was on-duty at the time and initial inquiries suggest there are no suspicious circumstances. A critical incident investigation has been launched by detectives from South West Metropolitan Region, who will prepare a report for the Coroner.
NSW Police says support services have been made available to the man’s colleagues and the officers at the station.
The death of a detective sergeant in Sydney’s northwest exposes a sad reality gripping some of the police force’s most vulnerable victims.
On Monday, the body of a 46-year-old Detective Sergeant was found at Ermington Police Station at around 12.30pm.
It’s understood he was on-duty at the time. Authorities are not investigating his death as suspicious and support services have been offered to his colleagues, and other staff and officers at the station.

A critical incident has since been declared, as is standard procedure after the death of an officer. The investigation will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command and independently oversighted by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC), a statement from NSW Police said.
A report is also currently being prepared for the Coroner.
The death comes two years after the suicide of Sergeant Matthew Theoklis in November 2020. The father-of-two took his own life at the Sydney Police Centre building in Surry Hills.
He had joined the NSW Police in 2005 and was promoted to the rank of sergeant in December 2019.

Mr Theoklis was survived by his two twin daughters, Brooke and Sophie, as well as his fiancee Rebekah, who was also a member of the NSW Police Force.
At the time Police Legacy chairperson Detective Superintendent Gary Merryweather said the pandemic and recurring natural disasters had added extra pressures to the job.
“It can become very taxing emotionally and physically being a police officer and this year has been particularly hard,” he told 2GB’s Drive host Jim Wilson.
“As we know policing can be so difficult. You can go from tragedy to a job where you’ve helped someone and feel very satisfying.
“In circumstances where it’s not foreseen by anyone, it just makes it a little bit harder, and I’m sure the family just think it’s all very surreal at the moment.
“There’s just no other way to explain it.”

According to an ABC report from January 2019, four Australian Federal Police officers died by suicide at their workplace between 2017 to 2019.
The deaths prompted the introduction of stricter firearm rules, which required officers to provide sufficient reason before drawing their weapons.
At the time, AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin described the organisation’s former measures of addressing mental health as a “culture issue” within the force. However, he hoped that “through tragedy comes opportunities for us to learn,” adding that he hoped officers would feel better equipped to talk about and share their experiences.
“The old adage that police run towards the problem when everyone else runs away, that’s in our DNA, that’s what we do,” he said.
“So the idea that we should stop and take a break because we’re tired, because we’re fatigued, because we’re having trouble, is so foreign to police.”
In 2004, high-profile officer Steve Leach, 51, took his own life in a soundproof weapons storage room at Parramatta police station. As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, he was on sick leave when he entered the building and was discovered by another officer.

Detective Senior Sergeant Leach was celebrated as the prominent homicide detective who arrested serial killer Ivan Milat in 1994. He was also involved in the investigation into the 1986 disappearance of Bondi schoolgirl Samantha Knight.
Prior to his death, he had applied for his pension after he was hurt on duty while seconded to the European War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
According to his colleagues, his death was not expected, The Age reports.
The then NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney described his death as a “terrible tragedy”.
“Detective Sergeant Leach was a highly respected officer with 35 years experience and had been involved in some of the state’s most high-profile homicide investigations,” he said.

More than a decade onwards, the suicide of former police officer Ashley Bryant triggered a coronial inquest in 2017 which found that a post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and alcoholism brought on by the extreme stresses of his work were key factors in his death.
In December 2013, the 44-year-old drove to a national park in the Byron Bay hinterlands where he ultimately died. Prior to his death, the father-of-three had made a triple-zero call where told the operator that he was “about to take my own life”.
“I suffer post traumatic stress disorder … I can no longer live with the pain. I want this to go to the coroner,” he said in the record call that was played a this inquest,” he said.
“There needs to be more done, more things put in place for what happens.”

His death came a year after he was discharged from the police on medical grounds. Attempts to apply for a ‘hurt on duty pension’ also forced Mr Bryant to relive his traumas, before he was denied a full pension.
This was after two psychiatrists under the Police Superannuation Scheme determined that he could still work again, if he retrained for less stressful work, The Daily Telegraph reported.
During the inquest, his widow Deborah Bryant said the pressure of trying to apply for the pension exacerbated his PTSD, that led him to drink.
“It was the pressure of all the assessments that he had to undergo that made it too stressful for him that, unfortunately, led him back to alcohol. He never recovered from it,” she told reporters.

Startling research from Beyond Blue in 2018 also found that a first responder dies by suicide every six weeks. The mental health and wellbeing support organisation found that police and emergency services workers are more than twice as likely to experience high or very high rates of psychological distress compared to the general population.
Those who had spent more than 10 years in their jobs were also more than twice as likely to experience psychological distress and were six times more likely to experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Hardened detective who was shot dead inside a police station is from a highly respected cop family and he cracked one of Australia’s biggest murder cases: ‘A steely determination for justice’
Colleagues found Detective Sergeant Adam Child dead at Ermington station
The accomplished cop has been remembered for his kindness in the role
He was part of the Homicide Squad and had a hand in solving tough murders

A top detective found dead inside his police station is from a highly regarded law enforcement family and solved some of Sydney‘s toughest cases in a two-decade career with the homicide squad.
Shocked colleagues discovered Detective Sergeant Adam Child dead from a gunshot wound inside a room at Ermington police station, in Sydney’s west, about 12.30pm on Monday.
The 46-year-old father, who worked in the force alongside his wife, has been remembered as ‘one of the finest humans and detectives’ by relatives of murder victims whose cases he helped solve.
Police do not believe Mr Child’s death was suspicious. He was on duty at the time and a police-issued firearm was used in the incident.
Friends and former colleagues have expressed horror at learning of the father-of-two’s untimely death and questioned what support services were in place.
‘I am just heartbroken. [Adam] was one of the finest humans and detectives,’ said one woman, who met Mr Child when he was assigned to the case of her loved one.
She added Mr Child would be remembered for his ‘compassion and steely determination for justice’.
He was publicly involved in the investigation into murdered mother Jody Galante, and was praised by her relatives for his kindness and dogged search for the truth.
The case was the subject of an Australian Story episode in 2008 which featured Mr Child, as he explained the steps he took to solve the murder and put Mrs Galante’s husband, Mark, behind bars for 27 years.
‘Adam Child and Anthony Agnew were so caring, they knew they were asking us to do hard things,’ Mrs Galante’s mother Julie-Anne Hand said at the time.
Mr Child had suspicions Mrs Galante’s husband was responsible for her death but did not have enough evidence to make an arrest.
He asked her family to continue publicly supporting him while the investigation was ongoing to lull him into a false sense of security.
Almost two months later, he asked them to help clear out Mrs Galante’s daughter’s belongings from the house, noting ‘she wouldn’t be going back there’.
Following Galante’s arrest, the 27-year-old pleaded guilty to his wife’s murder and was sentenced to 27 years imprisonment, with a non-parole period of 20 years.
Mrs Galante’s family could not praise Mr Child enough for his work on the case.
The homicide squad in NSW leads the response to major criminal investigations, including murders, suspicious deaths, critical incidents and coronial inquiries.
Mr Child has been commended for his role in countless investigations over his 20-year career.
‘I’m so sick at heart right now, the ripple affect of the loss of Adam will be felt by many families today, his own family and the his family in Blue,’ one friend said.
‘It’s a very sad day. Adam was a good man and detective… Rest well brother.’
Mr Child was usually based at the Parramatta head office but was stationed at Ermington while working on an active investigation in the region.
A critical incident has been declared as part of standard procedures within NSW Police when an employee dies in the vicinity of other officers.
NSW Police said in a statement Mr Child’s colleagues and all officers at Ermington station will be offered support to deal with the grief and shock.
Mr Child’s death is the latest in a string of tragic police deaths in recent years.
Just two years ago in November 2020, Sergeant Matthew Theoklis died by suicide at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills.
Between 2017 and 2019, a further five Australian Federal Police officers took their own lives on the job.
A 24-hour trauma response hotline was established in NSW and 1,200 officers were trained as part of a state-wide peer support program.
RIP, sorry you couldn’t stick around mate! Sounds like you did a lot of good in your life! Thanks for being a good man, copper and Aussie! Thoughts are with family and friends in this extremely sad time!
It reads to me Adam was there to help many people but unfortunate no one was able to help Adam. May Adam Rest In Peace and Adam’s family find comfort and understanding within. My thoughts are with you
Why do we always lose the good people too early ? I wish he had spoken to someone because he clearly is a man of ethics and hard work and a champion of the victims. He is the kind of policeman we always want to have in the force. So sad for his family of police, wife and children. We need to honour police more than we do, in a public way.
Spate of deaths in police forces across Australia
Steps have been taken within police forces across the nation to improve mental health support services for serving officers following a spate of suicides among serving and former cops.
In the span of two years, five Australian Federal Police officers tragically died by suicide in the workplace, prompting overhauls to firearm rules.
Previously, officers were able to check out their guns even while they were off duty, but the new restrictions meant they would need a reason to take their weapons.
Last year, two serving West Australian police officers died in the span of a fortnight.
Just two years ago in November 2020, Sergeant Matthew Theoklis died by suicide at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills.
A 24-hour trauma response hotline was established in NSW and 1,200 officers were trained as part of a state-wide peer support program.
‘It’s not uncommon, and that’s the scary thing,’ a serving police officer told Daily Mail Australia.
‘At the end of the day, it’s a high pressure job and when you combine that with stresses that aren’t work related, it can really add up.’
A detective has been found dead inside a police station in Sydney’s north-west.
The 46-year-old detective sergeant was on duty when he was found dead by colleagues inside a room at Ermington Police Station about 12:30pm on Monday.
NSW Police revealed initial inquiries suggest there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
The Daily Telegraph has reported the man died after a “shooting incident” and early investigations suggest the officer was shot with a police-issued firearm.
Detectives have launched a critical incident investigation into the man’s death.
“The 46-year-old detective sergeant from a specialist command was on-duty at the time and initial inquiries suggest there are no suspicious circumstances,” a statement from NSW Police read.
“A critical incident investigation has been launched by detectives from South West Metropolitan Region, who will prepare a report for the Coroner.
“The investigation will also be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command and independently oversighted by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC).”
Support services have been made available to the man’s colleagues, the officers who found him and those who were in the station at the time.
The death comes less than two years after another police officer took his own life at the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills.

Adult emu stolen from Featherdale Wildlife Park after being thrown over two electrified fences
AN adult emu weighing close to 50kg was thrown over two electrified fences during a brazen theft at a wildlife park in Sydney’s west

Blacktown Advocate
AN adult emu weighing close to 50kg was thrown over two electrified fences during a brazen theft at Featherdale Wildlife Park on Monday night.
Park curators and police have been left perplexed by the theft with senior curator Chad Staples saying the five-year-old female emu, born and raised at the Doonside park, had no monetary value.
Blacktown police believe a group scaled a two-metre high exterior fence at the back of the park, next to a railway line, before midnight and attempted to steal both of the two emus in the large enclosure which is also home for three eastern grey kangaroos.
Keepers discovered one of the kangaroos out of the enclosure at 7.20am on Tuesday. Mr Staples said while it wasn’t uncommon for the emus to escape their enclosure they realised the birds absence was more serious when they saw visible signs of struggle on the remaining male emu and feathers strewn throughout the enclosure.
More feathers were found less than a 1km up the railway line where the thieves are believed to have exited.
Police said residents reported several dogs barking in the area before midnight but haven’t confirmed if anyone saw the stolen emu and her captors.
Blacktown police Inspector Stephen Oswald said doctors should report anyone presenting with scratch or abrasion injures that may have been sustained during the struggle with the emu.
Blacktown’s top tourist attraction spends more than $200,000 on security patrols a year, along with CCTV and fencing. The one guard on duty apparently heard nothing during the break-in.
Inspector Oswald said reports the theft may have been an orientation week university prank was “news to us” and detectives were looking at several lines of enquiry.
Mr Staples said if the theft was a prank it wasn’t very funny.
“You would think potential university graduates would have more sense than this,” he said.
“They came into this park for an emu, we cannot understand the reason for this. All we can do is hope they realise this is complete folly and we ask for it to be returned.
“It’s unbelievable, bemusing to be honest. You can understand the monetary value with birds in the past but this is a strange one. Emus at best of times can be quite skittish and erratic.”
Monday’s theft comes six weeks after 10 birds, including two exotic macaws, were stolen on Christmas Eve.
The macaws, worth $12,000, were recovered a few days later an Auburn home but two red-tailed cockatoos, worth $4000, and six ground breasted doves remain missing.
Blacktown detectives again interviewed the Auburn residents about where they got the macaws from today but no charges have been laid.
Blacktown crime manager Senior Sergeant Adam Wilson said other than the link of birds being stolen from the same park police hadn’t established any connection between the two break-ins.
Anyone who sees the emu on the road or wandering the street is urged not to approach or attempt to restrain the animal as it may behave erratically and run into traffic.
They should contact police via Triple Zero (000) immediately.
Sightings can also be reported to Featherdale Wildlife Park on 9622 1644.

This afternoon, in a quiet and deeply-felt ceremony at the Sydney Police Centre, another thirteen names were added, and the memories of another thirteen dedicated NSW Police Force employees were honoured, at the NSW Police Force Service Memorial:
It is with the deepest regret that I inform those Retired, Former, Serving Police and friends that James O’TOOLE succumbed to the ‘ Black Dog ‘ at the very young age of 23 whilst Serving with NSW Police Force.
May you Forever Rest In Peace mate and may your parents and brother know that you were respected and loved by those who Served alongside of you.
Bruins would like extend a warm welcome to all community members who would like gather to celebrate and share memories in remembrance of James O’Toole.
The Bruins family will live stream the service, at the stadium with doors opening from 10.30am, followed by light refreshments.
Over the coming days, we please ask members to send an email to caitlin@bruinsbasketball.com.au and please RSVP if you would like to attend the service as well as any photos and memories of James to be shared at the service.
It is with a very heavy heart that Bankstown Basketball Association mourns the loss of referee James O’Toole.
James has long been part of the Bruins family, and has represented the Bruins as an exceptional referee, supervisor, and player. He is known for his cheeky smile, witty conversations, and extraordinary dedication and passion for the education, support and ongoing development of Bruins Junior referees.
Over James’s many years of basketball service, James was awarded numerous prestigious Steve Well’s Junior Referee of the Year Awards as recognition for his hard work to his craft. James represented Bankstown Bruins at both New South Wales State Championships and Senior Finals Weekends, his efforts also took him interstate as a referee for New South Wales at many Australian Junior Championships, at which he always did the association proud.
In more recent years James sought out a professional career as part of the New South Wales Police Force, however, always continued to find time to be part of and support the Bruins family.
We are honoured to have had such an exceptional gentleman as part of the Bruins Family and James’s legacy will continue to live on in the people who he inspired and worked so closely with.
As a tribute to James, we invite the entire Bruins community to wear a blue ribbon on their uniform to signify the amazing life that he lived.
Rest In Peace James, we will continue to honor you with Bruins Pride and Dignity.
Never did I expect to say a funeral was beautiful but yours certainly was, James.
You were so obviously loved and cared about by so many including our family.
You certainly made a huge impression during your short life.
With you all today in my thoughts and prayers.
Aunty Kathy and Kevin. ????

From my heart to yours James , rest well in the arms of those who love you unconditionally. I was lucky to have you as my neighbour next door, sharing lots of chats about all sorts, inviting me in as we met at our unit doors to see your new lounge etc that you had purchased and was so proud of having.
Missing you

FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
Tragically Victoria Police lost one of our own yesterday in an apparent suicide.
The VPS member had dedicated a large amount of their working life supporting others within the organisation.
We have lost a much loved member of the policing community.
Out of respect to the member, their family, friends and colleagues, we will not name this member but rest assured, they will be sadly missed.
Rest in forever peace.
