Even this morning the story will not go away.
Dredging the last drop of interest out of him todays press tells of him being under police investigations, again.
This time for not wearing a seat belt while being interviewed in a car by the ABC.
How did this man get the idea the law he applied to so many did not mean him too?
I am so very sorry, not that he is in prison, but that he lied, that so many he sent to prison now are in far worse conditions than he will be in serving his term.
Power and privilege , so badly miss used shame on you bloke.

Belly, it's not merely power and privilege that have been abused, but the trust and esteem of the nation for a "living treasure". His lawyers tried to use this status as an extenuating circumstance, but to me it makes the offences worse.

If nothing else, it shows that many of those we look up to have feet not just of clay, but built of the freshest manure.

This perfoemance must also make one wonder how many of the matters heard by Mr Einfeld were properly adjudicated. If he is incapable of exercising fair judgement on a simple traffic matter as it pertains to himself, how much less capable must he be of doing so in more serious matters involving others?

As expensive as it may be, i'd like to see a proper review of all matters heard by Einfeld that have not been previously appealled.

Spot on, Belly.

It was clear from his performance Monday's Four Corners programme that the man still has no concept of right and wrong, as it applies to himself.

I confess to being a little biased, having met the man and having found him to be little more than a posturing, arrogant, self-important buffoon. But his categorization of his total lack of ethics as "a mistake" is jaw-dropping. One can only imagine his treatment of a felon in front of him in court, who attempted the same rationale to excuse his crime.

You are right also to point out, Belly, that the biggest insult to the rest of us, though, will be the kid-glove treatment he receives during his incarceration, compared with the conditions to which this fundamentally criminal individual has condemned others.

Pericles,

I agree that Einfeld's rationale for his behaviour was unethical and pathetic.

At least Einfeld has had a very public fall from grace that the ordinary criminal does not. As he said in the program, that's the cross he has to bear, probably for the rest of his life.

Which of us has never told a lie? Then told another, to cover the first?

Oh, how we like to stick the boots in when the man is down and nearly out. A national sport?

suddenly we believe in absolutes (right and wrong). Wow what a surprise!
