Oh, boy… I’m really setting myself up for the obvious “Tasmanian” jokes, with this one. Which would be pretty rich, really, coming from a country where there are five times as many sheep as people. But, c’mon, let’s get serious: this is not a joking matter. A

Over the weekend urban cyclist, pannier bag and lamb chop recipe aficionado, Russell Brown, decided to enter into the debate about crime on his Twitter feed.

Is it time to retire the jokes and vilification of priests, yet? Is it time to start spitting on teachers, instead? Vandalising schools?
