Identity of man behind alleged ‘cash for demerit' scam revealed
Court documents obtained by this masthead show Anforth is accused of dishonestly inducing the Queensland government to reissue photographic detection offence notices between June 2021 and August 2024. He is also accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice by making a false police report and providing the details to the Revenue Office, between September 2022 and March 2023. Other charges on his list include obtaining the driver licence details of a man in 2021 and 2022 in order to commit an indictable offence. Anforth allegedly committed this offence from the tiny town of Ballandean, 80km south of Warwick. He is also charged with obtaining the personal details of two other people. One crime was allegedly committed in Warwick in July and August 2024, weeks before he was arrested, and the other between April 2023 and June 2024. Anforth is yet to enter a plea, and his case remains before the court. Court documents for the Ipswich-born Anforth list his occupation as unemployed, and living in Warwick, where police say he committed some of the offences. Loading The 28-year-old, who at the time of being charged was on his P-plates, is also accused of driving over the no-alcohol limit on the New England Highway months after he was first charged under Operation Blot. He also faces charges of breaching his bail in September and December last year. At the time of Anforth's arrest, Janelle Andrews from Queensland Police's Road Policing Group alleged his illegal business had dealt with more than 200 camera-detected offence notices worth about $141,000 in fines and 695 demerit points. When asked about the case, including what had happened to the alleged victims and what police had done since Anforth's arrest to mitigate future risks, Queensland Police said they could not directly comment as it remained before the Warwick Magistrates Court. 'The Department of Transport and Main Roads has processes in place concerning issuing new Customer Reference Numbers (CRNs) in cases where identity theft may be substantiated,' police said in a statement. Police said the Queensland Revenue Office administered the camera-detected offence notice system. But none of the government bodies contacted by this masthead had specific data on how many victims had made reports about false nominations in general. However, according to the QRO, a total of 389,719 infringement notices were withdrawn between July 2023 and June 2024. More than 335,000 were withdrawn because QRO had received a nomination that another driver was responsible. More than 35,000 were withdrawn because they involved emergency service or police vehicles on official duty. About 16,500 were withdrawn for 'another reason', which QRO explained could be that the person had died, or a stolen vehicle or licence plate declaration was received. Cases can also be handled formally through the courts. A Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said it was illegal to nominate another person to receive camera-detected infringements if they were not the driver at the time of the offence. 'Police investigate suspicious nominations. Making a false declaration in relation to a camera-detected infringement can result in a fine of up to $9678 or two years in jail,' they said in a statement. The department said people who believed they were victims of a fraudulent nomination should submit a fine enquiry with the QRO.

Bob Vylan's bizarre rise to fame…from making music on Playstation to sick ‘kill the Queen' rant & vile fan threats
WITH their vile chants of 'death, death to the IDF' at Glastonbury this weekend, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan left thousands of music fans across the country appalled. The stunt - referring to the killing of the Israel Defence Forces - has been slammed as 'appalling hate speech' by the Prime Minister that risked 'inciting violence'. 8 Bob Vylan sparked fury at Glastonbury with their 'death to the IDF' chant Credit: PA 8 Frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster is yet to apologise for his actions Credit: Instagram 8 Bob Vylan played before Irish group Kneecap Credit: Alamy Comprised of Ipswich-born frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster, who performs as Bobby Vylan, and Londoner drummer Bobbie Vylan, the band now face calls for them to be arrested and prosecuted. Arguably festival organisers - and the BBC - should have seen this coming from a band who relish controversy, claim to be 'too extreme' to be signed by any record label and have lyrics including 'kill the f***ing Queen'. Such is the level of violence and hatred in their lyrics that they have been considered "too extreme" for the band to be officially signed by a major record label, so they trade under their own, which is called Ghost Theatre. This meant they hand-delivered albums to record stores personally and booked their own shows before landing success and touring with Biffy Clyro and Offspring, and performing at Reading and Leeds festivals in 2021. 'Everyone is here bigging up Atlantic, bigging up Warner - f*** that! Big us up, because we did it without a major label budget,' Pascal said in 2022. Anti-monarchy, anti-British and pro-Palestine, Bob Vylan has proudly declared in the past how "trying to wind people up" is one of the few ways to 'derive enjoyment from living in this country'. 'If I can just say a thing and you'll get upset then that feels like a small victory and I'll print it on a T-shirt and wear that T-shirt every day,' Pascal told Tribune Magazine in 2022. In the wake of their Glastonbury set, which has received widespread condemnation including from Emily Eavis, who claimed it "very much crossed a line", Pascal shared a smirking snap of himself captioned: 'While zionists are crying on socials, I've just had late night (vegan) ice cream.' Since forming in 2017, Bob Vylan - who perform under stage names to maintain privacy in the face of what they call a "surveillance state" - has revelled in stirring up anger with controversial messaging and lyrics, and even threatened violence against their own fans. Pascal - who previously performed as 'Nee-Hi' in grime group Ear 2 Da Street in his early teens - has claimed he was inspired by his 'boring' childhood in Ipswich.

Around a decade ago he went vegan. Pascal characterises his angry, resentful lyrics as "a reflection of the anger from systemic mistreatment", according to The Guardian, with the struggles of being a black man in Europe a recurring theme in the band's repertoire. He claimed he was seven years old when he was first called the N-word and described the violence his "bredrin were surrounded by" as a teenager. In We Live Here, Pascal rapped: 'Neighbours called me 'n*****', told me 'go back to my own country'; Said since we arrived, this place has got so ugly; But this is my f***ing country and it's never been f***ing lovely.' He also claimed to suffer at the hands of a cruel landlord when he was a young dad - 'a baby with a baby' - stuck living in dangerous housing conditions. 'It was cold, it was damp, the windows were not double glazed, there was mould,' he told The Guardian. 'The extractor fan caught fire when we were not home and there was a fire in the flat. Came home and whole place was black; everything smelled like smoke. 'And the landlord couldn't give a f***. My partner got pneumonia during the pregnancy because of it. And he just didn't care.' Vile 'kill the Queen' chants Pascal raps there is 'nothing great' about Great Britain in the 2024 track Makes Me Violent, and sickeningly called for the late Queen's death in the band's 2020 release England's Ending. The vile lyrics read: 'This country's in dire need of a f***ing spanking, mate; Look it over, get the f***ing dinosaurs out; Yeah, and kill the f***ing Queen; She killed Diana, we don't love her anyway.' Their anti-monarchy stance is also evident on the track Reign, where Pascal raps: 'Got a message for the thieves in the palace, we want the jewels back." The band - who do not cite Jewish singer-songwriter Bob Dylan as a musical influence - is also known for leading 'f*** the government' chants at gigs and regularly taking pops at politicians and public figures. Lyrics include: 'let's go dig up Maggie's grave and ask her where that milk went' - in reference to ex-PM Margaret Thatcher's decision to end free school milk for kids over seven back in 1971. The band has also cited the cost of living crisis and escalating London rent prices, including in track GYAG with the words: 'Landlord just raised your rent, better get yourself a gun.' Threatening fans 8 Bob Vylan at the NME Awards in 2022 Credit: Getty At times the band's vitriol has spilled over during performances with fans becoming the target. In 2021 gig-goer Sarah Corbett claimed she was verbally abused by Pascal and feared retribution in a petty row over an ice cube. She told the Norwich Evening News: 'We were all having fun on the dance floor. I'd put an ice cube down my friend's top for a laugh. "Another girl then threw it at her friend, but it missed and landed at his feet. At that point he stopped the gig and demanded to know who had thrown it.' Sarah took the flack for the incident and Pascal, who was wielding a baseball bat, lashed out at her and later refused to apologise. 'He started abusing me through the microphone,' she recalled. 'As I tried to leave, one of his fans tried to grab me by the throat." Onlooker Mark Evans backed-up her claims, calling it a 'horrible, bizarre rant… all over an ice cube' that led him to conclude the musician's 'credibility has gone'. [Pascal] started abusing me through the microphone... As I tried to leave, one of his fans tried to grab me by the throat Sarah Corbett, former fan Pascal previously threatened to beat up a heckler at a Manchester gig in an expletive-laden rant, with a clip recently re-posted on X. In it the singer yelled: 'I'd have you on your arse in no time you f***ing t**t. 'But I tell you what buy a ticket to the show at The Ritz and I'll f***ing meet you outside side and punch you outside you d***head.' The band has also channelled frustration toward other musicians for not jumping on their activist bandwagon - particularly when it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Pascal told NME in 2023: 'It's a cowardly f***ing thing. So f*** IDLES, f*** Sleaford Mods. 'And f*** every single one of those f***ing apolitical bands that don't want to f***ing speak up when there's something a little bit iffy, a little bit touchy, a little bit sensitive [because they have] got a f***ing bulls*** album to sell. 'F*** that. We can't f***ing respect that at all. F*** them.' But their recent Glastonbury stunt could prove a step too far. US website The Daily Caller reported that Donald Trump's administration is now looking into visas obtained by Bob Vylan for a 16-date tour of North America. 'The US government will not issue visas to any foreigner who supports terrorists,' a senior State Department official said, suggesting it could be revoked. Glastonbury Festival organisers have also distanced themselves from the band, insisting the event was 'no place… for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence'. But Bob Vylan remains unapologetic; today Pascal shared footage regarding the Palestine conflict and called for more action, claiming it is 'incredibly important' to inspire future generations of activists in spite of the 'suffocation of adult life'. 'Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered,' he wrote. 8 Pascal waving a Palestinian flag at Glastonbury Credit: PA 8 The rapper has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine for years Credit: Instgram/bobbyvylan
