So these events are from your younger past. It's a good thing that she was not there, or you'd be living the life of a loner now, spending your non working days getting into fights in the pubs and constantly being thrown into the street by the bouncers. You probably would not be working at the factory or be a supermod on VEF. You'd be working as a farmhand picking vegetables!

This year I've been watching a lot of NRL (rugby league). Most teams seem to have a few Maori "enforcers". I think probably the bouncers are retired or failed rugby league players.

"The misuse of travel allowances, inadequate regulation of foreign political donations, conflicts of interest in planning approvals, revolving doors and a culture of mateship, inappropriate industry lobbying in large-scale projects such as mining, and the misuse of power by leading politicians have no doubt had an impact,"

Thats before you look at the private sector

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) this week agreed to pay a record penalty to settle its violations of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.

Money laundering described away as an IT gliche - fined 700million

If they'd been fined for each breach they'd be closed
