First Fleet II's latest passenger?

[Rodney Mills]

Daily Mail,

"A gas worker who attacked two men during a drunken brawl was spared jail in the UK so he could emigrate to Australia".
The Australian Jan. 31st 2011.

Thought they stopped "transportation" years ago.

Hi Rodney
Possibly unbeknown to us here they may have opened a new Colony!
Dont know what they would call the next one though!
Wasn,t the first called Van Diemansland!??

Any suggestions!
But seriously isnt that just too much! Havent we got enough trouble here without more !!
When will any Govt learn to say no!
Of well thats life i suppose!
Cheers

We are desparate for skilled workers here but this is a bit of a joke as there was one Brirsh subject deported back to U.K. a couple of years back for similar behaviour

Quite right too,John.
