  • About as much credibility as his big brother.

  • Wow. Imagine walking into a store with a gun. Horrible experience for those working there. Throw the book at him.
  • Lol, nasty fong very nasty.
  • Get this guy away from our game and country.

    Do not tolerate or in any way buy into apologies or statements which may follow.

  • Kinda like the Meninga's.

  • FME , I believe the Abbott Budget was the tipping point in John's career, having to work for a living was apparently too much.

  • Stay in school kids!!!

     

    The bank robber

  • DEPORT HIM STRAIGHT AWAY ,

    WHILE YOUR AT IT

     

    DO NOT LET SHAPELLE CORBY BACK INTO AUSTRALIA - IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE TO EXPORT DRUGS - YET NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THAT , SHE TOOK THE DRUGS FROM AN AUSTRALIAN AIRPORT AND SMUGGLED THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY .

    THE AUST GOVERNMENT WAS FIGHTING TO BRING HER BACK - SO IT MUST BE LEGAL TO DO WHAT SHE DID

     

  • If only John had joined the storm , they get bags of money passed under the table there and don't get charged .

    EME
