I've heard it all now!

Hi guys
As you know I have just come back to Australia, and I am APPALLED at what crap we Australians put up with. Hey, don't get me wrong, it was going on before I left, but I was not aware of it - it was under the radar, it was subversive, I WAS USED TO IT! I never, ever, noticed what complete wussie lah lahs we were.......

Then I went to live in countries where Police would shoot you, where they would demand money for nothing, where if you didn't work - you didn't eat (no Govt handouts), where - and get this - people were responsible for their own actions. No, seriously! If you tripped in the street, tough luck, if you fell over a soggy lettuce leaf in a shop - big deal, and the biggy - if you were pissed, and got hit by a car - your bad luck mate!

I know, amazing hey - so, third world! Guess what - I didn't get shot, 'cause I was never EVER in a situation that would demand it, I only once was stopped to pay a bribe (which was less than I could ever worry about), I never got hit by a car (duh) but I learn t to stand on my own two feet.

I never considered that it was someone elses fault when I screwed up. Its quite liberating really. To be an adult, and actually take responsibility. Yeh! What an amazing thing!

This blog was inspired by the drop kick Unionist ROBERT PAUL MCJANNETT, whom has apparently landed back in Perth after being incarcerated in Keroboken Jail (Bali) for drug importation.

Yes, he admitted they were his - something to do with a bad back - hey, the rest of us take Panadol (available in Bali mate). He was taking his son for a holiday over the New Year break when he was busted - nice message for the kiddies mate! - and was busted for his trouble.

Having lived in Indonesia for just over a year, mate, you must have stood out like a sore thumb straight up - but the next thing is - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!

These people (Indonesians) luuuuurve it when stupid westerners (Bule) try to bend their rules!

Were you in a plastic Bubble when Schappelle went down, or the Bali 9, or did you just think that because you're a Unionist, you'd get off scott free. Well mate - there's a Scott in kerobokan now that you've met, and you know disagrees.

AT WHAT POINT DO YOU PACK YOUR CASE FOR AN OVERSEAS HOLIDAY, pop in your grundies, and toothbrush, then your pot, and think that it's going to work for you?

Especially when the country you're going to shoots people? I swear, this man is not only ignorant (he blamed the Bali Justice System - ummmm, idiot, Bali is an island of Indonesia), but must have thought that his teflon Union Suit would work overseas........

If he had wanted his Union secretary to check, she could have told him that Indonesia (therefore Bali) was 128 on the Global Corruption Scale - which to the unitiated, is like saying they suck! They are rabidly corrupt, they will sell their mothers for a few rupiah, and they see westerners as money trees. I find it incredibly difficult to believe that this politically "adroit" man did not know that.
Well mate, now you know!

Please don't come home with a "Fix Schapelle" kit, she has had more exposure than an iceburg under an ozone hole! She and her family know exactly what it will take to get her out, but they want to play the media hand. More fool them!

Till tomorrow.
