Aussie teen billed fined for Internet rave

AN Aussie teen has been fined £9,000 after he made the mistake of posting the fact he was having a party on his MySpace page.

Corey Delaney, 16, whose parents were out of town, decided to throw a party and made a reference to it on his MySpace page.

More than 500 people turned up at his Melbourne house. Of course you can't fit that many people into a house and the wild party spilled out into the streets.
After a while, the local plod were called and were soon involved with a brawl with party goers.

More than 30 coppers and a police dog squad were called to the party but instead of a warm welcome and a glass of fruit punch they met with hundreds of teenagers, some throwing beer bottles at police cars and damaging property.

Victorian state Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon was so miffed about the way coppers were treated that she wanted to send Delaney a damages bill.

Any sympathy anyone might have for Delaney sailed out of the window when he was interviewed on telly saying that it was the best party ever,

He admitted he had invited a few people, but could not remember how the party started. Odd really because I thought a good party was one that you couldn’t remember how it finished.
