| A CONTROVERSIAL electronic "teenager dispersal" device has been introduced to Australia, marketed as the latest weapon against antisocial behaviour.
The Mosquito emits a high-pitched whine at a frequency audible only to the ears of young people and becomes so unbearable that they are driven away from the area.
A shopping centre in Queensland, a home owner in Canberra and an art gallery in Victoria have all bought the devices.

| OZschwitz convict culture alive and well:
- Quote :
- The NSW Police Force is considering buying one to be used in Coffs Harbour, and several local councils are interested.
Australian Childhood Foundation chief Joe Tucci is concerned the Mosquito may harm innocent children: "Surely, in 2008, we can find ways of being able to communicate with young people that don't cause them pain?" |
