Hi

A few days ago some Irish Plank walked up to an NT politician in Darwin and kicked him while the polly was being interviewed on camera.

He is currently on Bail for assault.

Just the latest in a line of stories about the Irish getting themselves a lousy reputation in Australia.

I hope Australia has a better Justice and prison system than Ireland and that this idiot is put away for a long time. I hope they do not deport him, I don't want an idiot like him back here, we have enough already.
