A 'predatory' food delivery driver who gave a lift to a teenage girl then refused to let her out of his van when she asked and kissed her lips, has faced court.
A bitter two-year battle to force a mother to trim her 30m gum tree for safety reasons has taken another twist after she sold her property, claiming her millionaire neighbour only wanted to enjoy city views.

Mr McDonald said he wanted the gum removed to keep his eight-year-old son James safe from falling branches at their Windsor home in Brisbane s inner-north.
