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?

The government has now announced its answer to the alarming and growing ram-raid statistics. Cuddles and hugs. “Children under 14 years old caught doing ram raids will be given intensive support to steer them away from crime, and towards study and work.” “The move is part of a $53 million
A shirtless guy covered in Mongrel Mob tattoos, having sex with an airline seat, I mean, who could ever say that he wasn’t just blending in and acting normal? What a cunning disguise, no wonder the cops didn’t notice him. What’s the bet that the police arrested
Some months back, I reported on the case of John Millwood, a Tasmanian (former) millionaire and convicted paedophile. “Former” millionaire because, on the very day his victim lodged a civil claim for damages, Millwood instructed his lawyers to begin divesting his estimated $8m fortune.
