Assignment Task

Facts:
You are a criminal lawyer who has been contacted to provide advice and guidance on charges concerning 4 individuals: Scary, Posh, Baby, and Ginger.
All four have been advised accordingly that charges are to be laid against them in the coming days.
The facts are as follows:
a. Scary
Scary was walking down the street where she encountered her ex-assistant. They had not spoken for months after Scary fired her for leaking information to the paparazzi.
As the ex-assistant approached Scary, she said: “Here comes the fake, plastic cow”. Upon crossing paths, Scary says: “What did you just call me?” Her ex-assistant replies: “Has the plastic surgery affected your ears? I said you are a fake plastic cow”. At this point, Scary slaps her ex-assistant across her face causing her ex-assistant to fall back but remained on her feet. Scary then walked away. The ex-assistant suffered some bruising to her face and swelling.

b. Posh
Posh was out partying with friends in a hip Melbourne club.
At approximately 1am, another group of friends approached Posh’s group and started verbally insulting the group. Things became quite heated between the groups with various insults and threats being exchanged accordingly. At this point, security approached and demanded that the other group remove themselves from Posh’s area and that any further arguments would see all parties removed from the venue. Posh is quite upset about what had happened. As she is playing billiards, she decides to pick-up
the white ball and throw it over the heads of the other group. She wants to scare them with both the site and sound of the billiard ball flying over the heads and making a loud noise when it hits the wall. Posh throws the billiard ball as hard as she could in the direction of the other group who were about 15 meters away. Unfortunately, Posh’s

c. Baby
Baby and her friend are having drinks in her apartment.
An argument arises and the two become quite angry at one another. Baby’s friend says: “Let’s agree to disagree. I’m going home now. I don’t need this”. Baby responds: “You’re not going anywhere until I finish with what I have to say”. Her friend says: “Oh really. You’re not my mother. Who do you think you are?” At this point, Baby’s friend attempts to walk out of the apartment through the front door – the only exit from the apartment. Baby closes and locks the door. She stands in front of the door and states that her friend cannot leave until she finishes what she had to say.

d. Ginger
Ginger paid over $100,000 for an overseas retreat. However, it was soon discovered that she was scammed and had therefore lost all that money. A friend of Ginger’s somehow discovered who this scammer was and where they resided. Ginger decides to pay this person a visit and ‘teach him a lesson’. After monitoring the residence, she discovers that the scammer is small in stature and lives alone. Ginger is confident that she can confront this person alone without fear of appraisal or being seen.

Required
With reference to both statute and case law, advise Scary, Posh, Baby, and Ginger of the most appropriate offence they will each be charged with.
