True that about convicts. Sheep stealing should be up there with the worst crimes.
My great grandmother was transported for sheep stealing. Butt hat still didn't stop a sheep farmer from marrying my sister.
Not as bad as the police who were investigating a break in to our unit. They tol the neighbours that our lock had been broken and hadn't yet been fixed.
Completely unnecessarily harsh, and shows a complete lack of understanding of PTSD.
BUt then it took many years for society to realise that it could be such a debilitating disorder.
I would have thought they were completely separate issues. It's not the people getting wet which is an issue- it's the safety issues of working in a partially constructed building with wet floors etc?
