Only in Australia can you get charged with serious offences, confess to dropping bad visuals in class, yet still be cleared for an epic Euro holiday. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but some manage to steer straight past logic and common sense.

Nothing says 'professional accountability' like being accused of showing the worst slides in class and then getting a first-class ticket to Europe. The courtroom just turned into an unexpected travel agency.

Charging him with crimes but letting him globe-trot sounds less like justice and more like the official 'Do as we say, not as we convict' policy. Welcome to the clown car of legal logic.
