BL> Petrol isn't illegal, last I heard.

RS> Petrol sniffing is tho.

BG> Not as such, it's not.

Yes it is.

BG> And neither is intentionally inhaling the contents of aerosol cans,

Yes it is.

Nope, it aint that simple.

Yeah, its a problem.

BG> There were no Drugs Misuse Act laws under which the male could be

QLD possibly, its got some rather bizarre laws.

I think you have garbled that one too. Inciting someone to take their
own life isnt manslaughter. Manslaughter is a general garbage bin crime
for activity which results in death when a reasonable person should have
been able to see that there was a risk of death. That can be something
as trivial as a prank to stuff like willfully running a red light.

RS> Pity you got every single example wrong |-)

BG> Bar one. ;-)

Bar none.
