Samantha Murphy- AFL brat multiple DUI convictions

[mellie]

In learned fast when I moved to Melbourne that if you're rich or famous or connected to both, you can get away with murder. It was a reverse of Sydney. Entitled brats belting the poor nobodies. Bond, Skase, Rivkin, Grollo Brothers and more. All making Melbourne their own. Sydney was the poor criminal, Melbourne was the rich criminal. Who you know went far in Melbourne. It may have developed from the Gold Rush age. Protecting the rich criminal meant the police got paid.

Definitely. Criminality is akin to celebrity in Melbourne's underworld.
