QUOTES OF THE WEEK
BEST GOOD NEWS STORY ALL WEEK
Interviewer:
“Maggots in your foot. Maggots, how, why, what, when?
Nedd Brockmann: “Well Australia has a lot of flies, we all know that. And so my toe nail was peeling off and obviously at some point I’m quite delirious, a fly got in there and I didn’t know and I was actually in the Nullabor Roadhouse and in the middle of the night I felt like it was an ingrown toe (nail) , but it was actually maggots. I didn’t know that until the next day and it was quite traumatising to be honest. I really knew where my life was at that point.”
Twenty-three year old electrician Nedd Brockman speaking to the media from Bondi after his 3952km run from Perth’s Cottesloe Beach to Sydney’s iconic surf spot in 47 days raising over $1.85 million for charity. His feat brought the Australian nation to its feet.
“THE staff buy all the books in bulk for all sorts of remembrance days. I trust my staff to purchase the books that are appropriate for all events.”
FROM good news story to another Les Walker bin fire.
When it comes to Mundingburra MP Les Walker it’s not about how much s—t he’s in, it’s the depth.
Right now it’s way over his head. Now he is shifting blame to his staff for the book titled Forensics for Dummies he left at a Police Remembrance Day service.
Mr Walker said he didn’t know the title.
Not only did he blame-shift to staff, but he didn’t even bother to ask them about the book he was leaving at what
is a sacred ceremony for police.
Was this just another perfunctory duty for Les?
Go there, look mournful, salute, leave book, back to office?
Sounds like it.
And how bereft of insight and nous are the staff, wrapping a book like this for him to leave at a ceremony which honours police who have died in the line of duty?
Did someone think this was funny? It’s grossly offensive on so many fronts.
