NEW James Joseph Dowling, Andrew William Paine, Tim Webb and Franz Dowling were all found guilty of wilful damage for hammering a sword attached to a cross in a war memorial, which had stood at the Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane since 1924, into a plough. They were fined, given 100 hours of community service, and must pay for the $17,812 damage they caused. During the trial the men, who appeared barefoot, claimed they were given permission from a higher power to remove the sword.

Manners and respect are certainly on the way out.   What a lovely society we will eventually end up with...hope I am not around to see or live in it.

Seems like lots of women in the public sector are into white collar crimes and rorting the system

The same goes for a lot of trade union employees who have never had a job in the real world (and  go on to be politicians).

Yep, there are a great many who have gone straight from Uni with their law degrees into being staffers for politicians and then they are on the ladder.

The only one I know of who did not do a Uni degree was Paul Keating.  He left school at the age of 14, Keating left high school and decided not to pursue higher education, and instead worked as a pay clerk at the Sydney County Council (Electrical Supply Authority). He then worked as research assistant for a trade union, having joined the Labor Partyas soon as he was eligible. In 1966, he became president of NSW Young Labor.[3] In the 1960s, Keating also managed rock band......and the rest is history.

I suppose he at least had a quick stint as a pay clerk.
