This week isn't even over yet but it has been an extraordinary one in local news.
Magpie lists his five biggest items for the 'How-The-Fuck-Does-That-Happen?' award...
1/ Carl Williams, the baby-faced kingpin of a vicious gang war in the Melbourne underworld in jail for 2 years of a 35 year sentence... beaten to death by another prisoner - on CCTV in a maximum security prison at Barwon Heads.
2/ National Rugby League club Melbourne Storm stripped of two major and three minor premierships and fined $1,600,000 for salary cap breaches in one of the biggest scandals ever in Australian sport.
3/ Nearly 300 allegations of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in this state since 1996, perpetrated by approximately 100 priests.... and in all that just 1 priest has been defrocked as a result.
4/ On the day of the worst bushfires in Australian history the state police commissioner got her hair done and went out for dinner. She now heads the reconstruction authority.
5/ Crown Casino in Melbourne has confirmed that gamblers leave about $4000 a week at tables and poker machines. After 2 years it goes to the State Revenue Office.
"On the day of the worst bushfires in Australian history the state police commissioner got her hair done and went out for dinner. She now heads the reconstruction authority."
ReplyDeleteUh - hers or the states?
I think the media have deconstructed her enough...
ReplyDeleteIt was a Saturday and she had the reoccuring appointment. With hindsight... people would make different decisions.

ReplyDeleteTo hell with defrocking these scum. It's time to de-ball them instead.
People who resolve their needs at cost to others. They do it sexually, others do it in other ways.
ReplyDeleteI don't think mutilation is ever an answer.
