Today’s dispatch is  History Repeats Itself- June 2006.  Originally dispatched on 27 June 2015

PS-

The ‘Freedom’ Dispatch prompted a response from one of our sons who grew up in Yuendumu.

Over a decade ago, a friend of ours (a Warlpiri Yuendumu man) told our son that he’d broken out of a low security gaol in Darwin with his cellmate. A friend on the outside had bought tickets to a Stevie Wonder concert, so they all went. Pourquoi pas?

The Australian Parliament’s predilection for retroactive legislation prevents me from disclosing who this friend is.

After the concert they snuck back into the gaol, and no one was any the wiser.

Our friend told our son that it was a brilliant concert! Type text or a website address or translate a document.

Sans aucun doute it was.

Our friend’s crime? He’d taken the ESO (Essential Services Officer)’s ute for a joy ride.

I don’t hold it against our friend. The ute as I recall had one of those rotating orange safety beacons on its roof, and the ESO had left the key in the ignition in front of the store. That’s what I call entrapment.

When you believe in things

You don’t understand

Then you suffer…..
