" and we should stop treating these youngsters as 'kids' - give them some punishment which hurts - maybe a lot more public exposure."

Tau, ran into a fellow oldy in Woolies the other day who wore some recent battle marks.......... he had been bashed and robbed in his own house up here in the goldfields, and his $42,000 car stolen and trashed ....... by a 15 year old Aboriginal youth.

I asked what happened to the kid, and he replied somewhat sarcastically "Community Service".
What were you saying about punishment? lol.

That riot outside the courthouse up here a while back, in which the courthouse and several Police cars were damaged........ none of us heard of any custodial penalties for the perpetrators.

Its all a big joke.
