I also want you to know that everyone in ny family is with you and your loved ones and feels the arsehole that killed Steve for no reason at all will deserve everything thrown at him.
Please pass on my condolences to all, and once again, remain strong, even when its hard.
RIP Steve Tougher, a true legend
I met him when he was dropping off a pt, nice bloke. Well respected, loved the job is all I hear from those at work that knew him better. Genuine tragedy this is.
There isnt any amount of punishment that would be enough for the perpetrator, he just needs to be burnt off the earth.
The world is so unjust, a kind soul like Steve who is trying to saves lives gets his taken .. Rest In Peace Good Lad
Thoughts are with you.
I dunno who he is or what happened but may he rest in peace. May he fly with the angels
Unfathomably tragic. I am so sorry for your loss, and for his family, who are facing a loss I can't imagine. Rest in peace Steve, we will not forget him.
RIP, legend.
Tragically sad and senseless loss. RIP
I am very sorry for your loss
I’m sorry to hear about your friend bro. I also have a friend who works as a paramedic and he’s told me stories about what he has seen and to be honest I don’t know how he does it.
I seriously hope that the stupid guy that stabbed him gets what’s coming to him! It’s times like these I believe we should have the death penalty here in Australia because this paramedic has lost his life for no reason and why should the other guy still have the right to breathe after what he’s done? It’s just not fair!
Money can't fix this of course
But there is a GoFundMe
And I am just letting others know because I found out through a comment and i found that information helpful
tragic. the world is so unfair. I feel for his family
Drug epidemic causing mental illness.
Farewell to Steve.
Wife worked with him. Said he was lovely.
I am so sorry this has happened to a seemingly wonderful person, all our hearts are broken for his friends and family and I just hope you can all support each other to get through this nightmare
This is just rubbish.
So so sorry for your loss. This is heartbreaking
I’m so very sorry! I’ve lost people too, too many horribly, but geez my heart aches for you. Don’t even know Steve, but there are not enough people in this world who care for others, before themselves. When I first read the news, and heard this story, I cried. For the loss of life, but most importantly for the loss of a life that was lived in the service of others. I know this doesn’t help, but there are a lot of people grieving for this amazing man that none of us knew. I hope this provides a small measure of comfort to you and his family. Rest in power Steve.
So sorry for your loss, I still can’t believe this as a emergency responser so I can’t imagine how difficult it is for family and friends.
Where was he based because I feel like I had crossed paths with him some time in the last 9 months as I really feel like I recognise him. I’m also SWM.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. It was a terrible thing that happened to him. So unfair. So senseless. We are all thinking of him and his family and friends.
It shouldn’t have been his time, but it is. It fucking sucks. I just want him to know it’s okay to rest, he doesn’t have any other choice now. Given the choice he wouldn’t ever. It’s just awful.
I read your comment on the other thread. Such a good story. So typical of Steve. Gentle giant, for sure.
His surname is pronounced “Toga”, like the party theme. Of which he had many.

Very true. His life was short, but man, what a life. Impacted so many lives in the best way possible.
“Given the choice, he wouldn’t ever” I know exactly what you mean and absolutely agree with you. I’m sick of the “they’d give the shirt off their back” line in true crime documentaries but I now understand the expression. He was that kind of guy.
I’m just pissed that some useless gronk took him away from not just his family in general, but his unborn child in particular.
Heisenberg? Is that you?
Lighting is on the wrong angle. Can't see the beaked plague doctor mask.
Great, now the hat man is visiting me on Reddit as well as in my nightmares
I've got a plan, Arthur!
JESSE! We need to cook.
Read this this morning, and thought, well, there's always a chance someone here could help, whether this lad the family is looking for is alive or not.

Hope they find him
Yeah, so do I, hey.
A lot of time has passed though, so, odds are reduced a fair bit.
Even if the best they can find is his widow and or kids, just for them to know their old man did something so selfless and amazing, would be worth the search, I reckon.
Even if they can't shake the man's hand themselves.
Near Christmas ive heard people say that they left the area, but ive been seeing them? Thoughts?
I saw two last year. Those were the first two I’ve seen in about 10 years.
I remember as a kid, they were everywhere.
I saw one total last Christmas, first I’d seen in several years. I used to come home from school in the evening to find three or four on my window/sill
Dropped right off in number mid to late 90s.
It's been recorded globally, huge drops in insect biomass since the agricultural revolution.
Such a lesser experience of nature the future generations will inherit, sad as hell
Gone like all the bees that used to congregate on my birdbaths all summer.
So many birds gone from around me as well, the bush and the sky are like ghost towns these days compared to how they once were.
You’ve been seeing them, but at what frequency compared to 10 or 20 years ago?
Why still use Roundup. It is what it is.
Welcome to the Anthropocene.
When i was in kindergarten i used to put them into MASSIVE piles
This trend shows the fractional quota that the Animal Justice Party (AJ) and the Liberal National Pary have in the race for one of the last four seats up for grabs in the Legislative Council (NSW "Senate"). The LNP have enough votes for six seats already, but they would like a seventh.
We are getting towards the end of the count - I have put the right hand side of this trend at 90.16% which is the (number of formal votes in 2019)/(number of registered voters). The reason for the hockey-stick curve is that postal and below the line votes are being added last to the total and they are favouring everyone except the two major parties.
After all the votes are counted, preferences are distributed and the Animal Justice Party will benefit from preferences more than the LNP. So the AJP are already in striking distance of winning the last seat.
[https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/nsw/2023/guide/lc-results](https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/nsw/2023/guide/lc-results)
I would turn vegan if this happened
Colour me shocked! Its almost as if we don't want a corrupt government?
...with the Liberals helping a huge amount by the looks of it.
Good, let's make it happen country wide. The animals matter more than some empty suits who probably couldn't even walk five steps in my steel caps
Well, the LC is now deadlocked- meaning no legislation passes without a right wing vote.
That pretty much settles any effective or meaningful reforms.
Let's go! I know Alison Waters and she would make an excellent MLC.
Dont forget the Legalise Cannabis Party also won a seat
LMAO
Abolish the senate
RemindMe! Tomorrow “reply to this thread”
The bottom access is the vole being counted. The dots are at:
81.6 \| 9 April
87.2 \| 11 April
88.4 \| 12 April
88.7 \| 18 April
The Liberals must have a lot of above the line voters who have already been counted before the 9th April (because the ATL votes are easier to count). They must be getting ~~almost no below the line votes~~. plenty of below the line votes, but nowhere near the six times as many as the one minor seat parties. Thus the LNP average is going down.
https://vtr.elections.nsw.gov.au/SG2301/LC/state/cc/fp\_summary
Even better
This is state. It's not a senate.
And you're wrong unless you adopt an MMP style of single house as a replacement.
Shit Roman emperors say
Hahaha. You’re on
Queensland has no Legislative Council which means no bs quota counting to elect people to block bills.
Didn’t happen, maybe in 4 years.
Which means that voter preferences for those parties that have broad support but not geographical concentration are underrepresented.
Which means the majority party in the lower house can shoehorn in anything they want. What makes you think this is a good thing?
Poo. I gave them no 1 in the senate
Which means they aren't actually representing a local community, just a fringe issue that a minority of people hold across the state*
Yes because it shows the true nature of political parties. Why do you think that the Queensland LNP struggle to win elections despite Queensland being the most thoroughly blue state in Australia?
Because their real policies are terrible and it takes one term for them to be eradicated
But that's not really true. Federally, the Greens hold 12.25% of the primary vote, but only hold about 2.5% of the seats in the lower house. That's a significant portion of the voting population whose views are not properly represented in parliament. For comparison, in the upper house, they received about 12.5% of the vote, and hold about 14.5% of the seats.
Yeah. That’s the point.
In that model, if a party has 51% majority in every seat, they get 100% of the seats. That doesn't seem representative of the other 49%.
Greens get more or less primary votes than the National Party. But 1 seat in tje reps vs about a dozen.
This is why a Senate is good.
