....per capita I reckon there's more criminals inside the police force than outside of it - certainly in those days, and there is still a hell of a lot of crime, including murder, that is disguised by uniform, office or religion.
If it comes down to measuring right and wrong, 'law' is a blunt instrument, easily moulded. Ned is a folk hero because he was right, not because he was lawful.

Anyway, well writ Neddy - and good on you for owning your own voice - its rarer than you think.

That's bonza Neddy. I like it. A lot. (You only 17? You're a treasure.)

We must remember that Australia has a pretty unique foundation....being that of a penal colony. The subsequent rampant contempt for authority was the seed of our unique Aussie character...'the bloody larrikin.' I think I'da been a tad rebellious of the 'law keepers' if I was around in those days....& came across an abandoned letterbox. (how funny Martyboy...you bloody larrikin!)

Hey Hully!! You're onto it mate......hail 'democracy'!

Jim.

Totally agree Jim I reckoned when Neddy first posted it - it was a beaut and still think so. Great stuff
