Will Australians please take a deep breath, and stop being so up themselves?

Yes, I have also heard that is correct. Drug use is higher in affluent areas.

Drug kings are not silly enough to get caught themselves, they use addicts as couriers. That's why the couriers get lesser sentences than the kings behind them.

And another place.

UBI - Universal Basic Income

I recall reading about the drug of choice by those with differing personalities. Seems those that wish to escape the nastiness of life prefer alcohol and soporifics , while those who wish to dominate prefer those that heighten the senses. So if there is an epidemic of ice use , why are so many wanting to dominate those around them ?

True meth addiction is often resolved in one of two ways, intensive rehab (frequently more than once) or death. Not much of a choice for a parent.

Back on topic, the title of the thread is rather misleading, Bob, almost prejudiced. Nobody is more parochial than me but let's stick to the facts. We have our fair share of low lives too. Queenslander, copper, postman, truck driver, categorize people as you like, they all fit into the same bell-curve; 90% decent folk, 5% grubs and 5% exceptionally great community members.
Road rage and other bad behaviours can come from anywhere, even the least expected quarter.

On the original clip; that was a ballsy move by the assailants. If I'd been driving the truck, I'm sure my foot would have slipped off the clutch, causing minor damage to the bullbar.
Mr Tins, please enlighten me, I thought the steps on those Fruitliners retracted when the door was shut.

Yep, whilst they were standing on the step, I’d have opened the door,, if they didn’t fall off at that point, I’d have swung around and booted them off with both feet. I’m sure the fall at the end would have slowed them down somewhat.
