Queensland is for Lovers!

We do love our new home, but some things boggle the mind beyond culture shock.

I just saw this story on the news and had to share it with you -

Four high-risk prisoners, including an accused murderer and armed robber, spent hours roaming unsupervised across a jail rooftop yesterday.The prisoners, on remand at the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre, spent the afternoon sunning themselves, smoking cigarettes and skylarking for television helicopter crews from the corrugated iron roof in the exercise yard of the prison, in Brisbane's outer west. They broke away from a group of eight prisoners who were walking unsupervised to a medical centre in the prison at about 12.30pm.

What kills me is rather than getting them down, the prision officers were giving them footballs, cigarettes, water, etc. I just don't get it?

.. And by 2009, we will be drinking toliet water.. er, I meant effluent. Tasty effluent!

But, even so, QUEENSLAND IS FOR LOVERS!!
