Not a bad deal. Commit break and enter, tamper with motor vehicles and theft and then a government funded ride home with the gear stolen....

And at it again the next night...

We have good friends that used to own a huge cattle property near Coen.The wife was the local nurse,and had been for over 40yrs.When indigenous people had a family member,or any relative, in hospital in Cairns,there were regular private flights to visit them,often 3 times a week,at taxpayers expense.And accommodation in Cairns.

They also get free tax payer paid taxi rides to correctional centres to visit friends,relatives,whoever.

There is a lot of this type of thing that goes on that many don't know about.

Not quite the same but waste neverthe less, but had a friend who was a screw in Yatala "Labour" Prison
Told us that the kitchen had to prepare boiled eggs for the total motley crew' Each day only a few were consumed leaving some hundreds for the rubbish bin.

Each day they did the same thing & into the bin went the googs.



Seems that a riot would have ensued if they didn't have boiled eggs for breakfast. Eaten or not.

This was verified by another screw aquaintance

We have been contracted to work in correctional centres/youth centres for 30 yrs,i could write a book about that sort of thing.

What you are talking about would be less than .001% of actual wastage,it would be millions each year.

Can't say anymore,on a public forum.

I would imagine that when overseas students are allowed to return they will also be required to do a 2 week quarantine.

Yes - saw an article yesterday about the Canberra universities getting together to organise the quarantine jointly. It wasn't said, but I would guess in designated student accommodation.
