So if Andrew Coster had had his way, we would have had an alleged corrupt sex abuser and (now) convicted child pornographer and horse fucking enthusiast leading the police.

Bloody grim. Police in the years since seem to have treated John Dewar as a role model rather than a cautionary tale. Louise Nicholas all over again.
Just to be clear, this is what John Dewar has been up to since covering up sexual assault by 3 of his colleagues.

Links within the Herald’s article on McSkimming to other articles about gangs’ criminal activities seems very apt given the jokes that the Police are simply another gang but in a State mandated uniform.

The student loan scheme is predicated on the idea of a huge private benefit from tertiary education.
I think its fair to say if you haven't repaid it by the time you retire, you did not get that benefit, and the loan should be wiped.
