Another excellent column from the ever-insightful Catherine Deveny in today's Age.
I was equally disturbed when I read the comments of the Melbourne Grammar principal last week. Glad to know I wasn't the only one.
It's comforting to know that having money still means never having to say you're sorry.
But this wasn't quite as distressing as the case earlier this week, where a Magistrate in a Melbourne court, in sentencing a repeat-offending 'businessman' basher who had attacked and severely injured a man for bumping him on a crowded train, warned him of the consequences thusly: If his victim had been permanently maimed or killed, it would have been the end of his business.
What the..????? What happened to "You could have killed or maimed a man. How could you live with that?". No. The worst consequence that this judge could imagine was "If you had killed or maimed a man, it would have been bad for your business!"
I don't know which is more disgusting - the basher, or the attitude of the man judging him!
