yes, long live Canada indeed!
but what does that have to do with this?
as for the standard of journalism... well, thats just the normal, shitty level of journalism that this publication exudes.... whats worse, i know the journo (he went to my school - youŽd expect better!). iŽd get failed in my course if i handed something in like that.
as for the story... i think its attrocious since iŽll be paying for this.
i thought the whole idea of prison was to pay a debt to society... not to put society in debt.
this may be lead to a snowballing effect, since all of those crims who were bashed and injured in the yard, or in the cells or whatever, may start coming forward accusing the Correctional Services of negligence. but maybe they deserve some... i donŽt know... perhaps a case by case examination would be required.
however, Bob Carr (NSW state premier), did have a hand in overturning the decision to grant that idiot who jumped into a sandbar those millions in compo last year...
